Variable Speed
Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial
marker pointing to the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
1.
Rotate the dial to the right to Variable Speed 1.
2.
To activate the blending process, press down on the Start/Stop Switch.
3.
Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed, depending on the
recipe used.
4.
At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the Variable Speed Dial back to the
Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
Use the highest setting stated in the recipe for as much of the processing
time as possible to make smoothies, soup, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées,
nut butter, and for grinding grain. Processing times will generally be less than
one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). The higher speed provides
the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruit or
vegetables, and grains to a smooth, lump-free consistency.
Blending for too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and
cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn off the machine. Blending
on a higher speed maximises the working of the motor's cooling fan to avoid
overheating.
Programs
Program blending speeds and duration vary and will stop automatically at the end
of the program.
CAUTION
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never
Start on Speeds Above 1 when
Processing Hot Liquids.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents

To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid
plug securely in place prior to operating
the machine.
Always start on Variable 1, then slowly
increase to 10.
