1. On / Off Switch:
The On / O ff (or Power) Switch is located on the lower right-hand side of the machine. The
On / O ff Switch controls the power to the machine.
BEFORE moving the On / Off Switch to the On (I) position, make sure the marker on the
Variable Speed Dial is pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
After plugging in the unit, move the On / O ff Switch to the On position to ready the machine
for blending. Move the On / O ff Switch to the Off position at night and whenever the
machine will be left unattended.
If the On / O ff switch is moved to the Off position to stop a program mid-cycle, wait 30
seconds for power to recycle and the timer to reset before moving the On / O ff switch to the
On position.
When the Pulse, Start / S top, and Program Symbols brighten, the On / O ff Switch is in the On
position and power is flowing.
2. Start ( ) / Stop ( ) Switch:
After the marker on the Variable Speed Dial is rotated off of the Stop Symbol ( ) to either
Variable Speed 1 or a Program setting, press the Start / S top Switch to start the machine and
initiate the blending process. Pressing the Start / S top Switch again will stop the blending
process.
Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start / S top switch at any time. If
reactivated by pushing down the Start / S top switch, the program will start at the beginning.
3. Pulse Switch ( ):
Variable Speed: Pressing down on the Pulse Switch will cause the machine to blend at the
speed setting shown on Variable Speed Dial for as long as the Pulse Switch is held down.
Programs: The Pulse function can be used when a program is selected. Pushing down
the Pulse switch when a program is selected will cause the machine to run at 50% of high
power for as long as the Pulse switch is pushed down.
4. Variable Speed Dial:
The Variable Speed Dial serves two functions; the use of five programs settings or ten
Variable Speed settings.
• To use programs: rotate the Variable Speed Dial to the left to the desired program.
• To use Variable Speed:
a. Rotate the Variable Speed dial right to 1.
b. Press down on the Start / S top switch.
c. Rotate the Variable Speed dial to the right or left during blending to increase or decrease
the speed of the blades.
d. At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the marker on the Variable Speed dial back to
the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
5. Programs:
Your Professional Series 750 is equipped with five program settings for the most commonly
used recipes. Rotating the Variable Speed Dial left of center allows you to select a program
for Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, Soups, Purées, and a Cleaning cycle. These programs are
optimized for these recipe categories, but may also work well with other recipe choices.
