3.4 Functions

Safety lock system
The blender has a safety lock system which
automatically shuts off the blender when the
jug is removed from the base. It also
features a motor safety cut-out which trips
if the motor is overloaded.
Smooth Start
The Smooth Start function starts the
appliance up with a reduced initial speed,
regardless of the speed set with the control
knob.
The speed progressively increases until the
set speed is reached.
The Smooth Start function allows you to
process ingredients gradually to improve
the blending results.
The Smooth Start only works when
a speed between 0 and 4 is
selected and does not work with
the PULSE mode, ICE CRUSH or
SMOOTHIE programs.
PULSE function
Pressing the PULSE button operates the
blender at maximum speed.
The blender shuts off immediately when the
button is released.
You should use a minimum quantity of
100g, not blending for more than 5
seconds consecutively, or 2 seconds when
using dry ingredients.
The PULSE function does not work
in combination with the ICE
CRUSH or SMOOTHIE programs.
Use
Ice Crush and Smoothie
The pre-set 'Ice Crush' and 'Smoothie'
programs automatically adjust the speed to
optimise blending results for a certain
factory set time, then turn off automatically.
Use the ICE CRUSH program with short
bursts of power when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
Use the SMOOTHIE program to blend
fruits, ice cream and yoghurt into thick
smoothies, blended drinks and milkshakes.
Pre-set time
Ice crush: approximately 50 seconds
Smoothie: approximately 60 seconds
When one of the two above mentioned
pre-set programs is selected, and after you
have pressed the START button, the blender
will automatically start to operate and the
central knob LED lights up to indicate that
the cycle is activated.
