Variable Speed
Before using the Variable-Speed option, always begin with the Variable-Speed
Dial marker pointing to the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
1. Rotate the dial to the right to Variable Speed 1.
2. To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.
3.
Slowly turn the Variable-Speed Dial to the desired speed, depending on the
recipe used.
4.
At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the Variable-Speed dial back to the
Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
Use the highest setting stated in the recipe for as much of the processing
time as possible to make smoothies, soup, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées,
nut butter, and for grinding grain. Processing times will generally be less than
one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). The higher speed provides
the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruit
or vegetables, and grains to a smooth, lump-free consistency.
Blending for too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine
and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn off the machine.
Blending on a higher speed maximises the working of 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.
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never Start
on Speeds Above 1 when Processing
Hot Liquids.
Escaping steam,
may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and
lid cap securely in place prior to operating
the machine.
Always start on Variable 1, then slowly
increase to 10.
