OPERATING THE BLENDER
Using the Blender pitcher ingredient cup, and Soft Start blending
feature
• The Blender pitcher ingredient cup can
be used to measure and add ingredients.
Remove cup and add ingredients at CHOP
or MIX speeds. When operating at higher
speeds with a full pitcher or with hot
contents, stop the Blender and then add
ingredients.
• The Soft Start blending feature
automatically starts the Blender at a
lower speed to draw ingredients into
the blades, then quickly increases to the
selected speed for optimal performance.
The Soft Start blending feature only
works when a speed is selected and
does not work with the PULSE (
)
mode or CRUSH ICE (
) features.
IMPORTANT: If blending hot foods or
liquids, be sure that the lid is securely in
place and use only the HOT FOODS ( )
function.
