Hints for Setting Speeds
Always start machine with left switch on the down VARIABLE position and center dial at 1. Increase speed as
needed depending on the recipe used. This is especially important when starting thick mixtures, hot mixtures,
stirring, chopping, grinding meat, and preparing single servings. Use VARIABLE speeds cautiously.
Note: Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the automatic
overload protection to turn the machine o.
Use HIGH speed as much as possible for whole food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, making purées,
nut butters and grinding grains. Processing times will generally be less than one minute (most take less than
30 seconds). HIGH speed provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole
fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth lump-free consistency. It also runs the motor’s cooling fan to
avoid overheating.
If you are unsure, watch the blending process. When using HIGH speed, if the food does not circulate the
machine may be overloaded or may have trapped an air bubble. Stop the machine and release the air bubble
by inserting the tamper through the lid plug. If the tamper does not produce the desired results, reduce the
machine speed. Often a lower speed allows food to circulate when higher speeds do not. Once the food is
circulating freely, switch to HIGH, and continue processing.
On/O Switch (l)/(
O
): Push up to turn ON. Push down to turn OFF.
HIGH/VARIABLE Switch ( )/( ): HIGH is the fastest speed available. Switch to VARIABLE to activate all
the lower variable speeds.
Variable Speed Dial: Selects many speed settings. It is active only when the HIGH/VARIABLE switch
is set in the VARIABLE position.
