Crushing Ice
1. To crush ice, slide the switch to the (high) setting.
2. Press the
button (speed 8) and pulse 6-7 times until the desired consistency is achieved.
Release the button and allow the blade to stop. Repeat cycle as desired.
When crushing ice, always add a small amount of liquid to the ice before processing to prevent
possible damage to the blades.
