USING “PULSE” BUTTON
The blender has 2 distinct methods of operation: CONTINUOUS run for blending,
liquefying and fine chopping, and CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING for coarse
chopping pieces of food, such as chopped vegetables, nuts or cheeses. Controlled
cycle blending consists of turning the motor “on” and “off” intermittently, using the
“PULSE” button. During the “on” portion of the cycle, food is chopped and tossed
away from the blades. During the “off” portion of the cycle, the food is distributed
around the blades to make processing more uniform. IN ALL THE RECIPES. GIVEN
IN THIS BOOK, THE CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING FEATURE IS REFERRED TO
AS A CYCLE. A cycle consists of operating the blender for about 2 seconds and
then allowing the blades to coast to a stop.
NOTE: Use the Blending Guide for speed selection. The words refer to the speed
selection used in the Oster recipes. The words are not descriptive of the blend-
ing action.
