Dial marker pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
• Rotate the dial right to Variable Speed 1.
• To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.

Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor's cooling fan to avoid
overheating.
If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve,
insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it "burps." If this does not
work, press the On / Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the container from
the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the
blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue
blending.
Programs
Programs vary in blending speed and duration and will automatically stop at the
end of the program.

CAUTION
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with Hot
Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid plug
securely in place prior to operating the blender.
Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase to 10.
Use the highest setting called out in the recipe for
as much of the processing time as possible to make
whole-food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures,
15
purées, nut butters, and for grinding grains. Processing
times will generally be less than one minute (most
take less than 30 seconds). Higher speed provides the
best quality of refinement.
Blending too long at too low of a speed setting
will overheat the blender and cause the Automatic
Overload Protection to turn off the blender.
