BATTERS
This cycle stays at relatively low speeds for shorter periods of time� This
combines your batters or dips, allowing the flavors to blend together properly,
without over-mixing�
To use the Batters cycle, load your jar as indicated in the recipe you are using,
secure the lid, and press the Batters icon� The blender will run the cycle and
automatically shut off�
MIXED DRINKS
This cycle is used for mixed drinks, iced coffees, and milkshakes� The length of
time creates a consistency that is ideal for these types of recipes�
To use the Mixed Drinks cycle, load your jar as indicated in the recipe you are
using, secure the lid, and press the Mixed Drinks icon�
SMOOTHIE
This cycle is designed specifically for various types of smoothies and thick
drinks that frequently use dense or frozen ingredients� It slows down and
speeds up automatically during the course of the cycle� This allows the blender
to draw the ingredients into the blending vortex, creating the desired texture�
To use the Smoothie cycle, load your jar as indicated in the recipe you are using,
secure the lid, and press the Smoothie icon� The blender will run the cycle and
automatically shut off�
FROZEN TREATS
This cycle is designed specifically for frozen treats, including ice cream, sorbets,
and frozen yogurt� The cycle speeds up and slows down at the appropriate
moments to ensure your blends stay frozen�
To use the Frozen Treats cycle, load your jar as indicated in the recipe you are
using, secure the lid, and press the Frozen Treats icon� The blender will run
the cycle and automatically shut off� After creating your frozen dessert, serve
immediately and store leftovers in the freezer�

WHOLE JUICE
This cycle is designed to completely blend tough and dense ingredients,
including carrots, celery, and seeds� Use the Whole Juice cycle if you are using
any fruits and/or vegetables with stems, seeds, or skins�
When blending carrot juice or other dense juices, you may need to repeat this
cycle once or twice until the desired texture and consistency are achieved�
HOT SOUP
This cycle is designed for hot recipes� The cycle's length of time, combined 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�
PULSE
Use Pulse for chopping, mincing, whipping, or other tasks that do not require a
long blend cycle� You can also Pulse to quickly stir a blend before serving�
The Pulse setting runs at speed 7 and will only run while the Pulse icon remains
pressed� When the icon is released, the motor shuts off�
CAPACITIVE TOUCH SLIDER
The capacitive touch slider allows you to fine-tune the speed of your blender�
Simply slide your finger to the right to increase the blender's speed or the left to
decrease speed�
MODE
Press Mode to switch between using the manual touch slider and the
preprogrammed blend cycles�
