bined with the speed of the motor, heats the ingredients to a hot temperature� This
cycle can also be used for hot chocolate, syrups, and fondue�
When using fresh ingredients, remember that the speed of the blade generates
enough heat to warm the ingredients Do not add any liquids or ingredients over
115° F to the jar when preparing soups or hot items�

tasks that do not require a long blend cycle� You can also Pulse to quickly stir a
