Some  blenders offer a 6 function/18
speed range controlled by the rotary
knob. Each blending function, such as
STIR or PUREE, offers 3 different speed
settings within that function. 

First select the desired speed. Next,
press the ON button. The blender will
operate until the OFF button is pressed.

Some blenders also offer an automatic
pulse feature. Simply press the AUTO
CRUSH button. The blender will operate
on pulse until the OFF button is pressed.

The OFF button also serves as the 
manual Pulse option and allows instant
control of blending. Press and release;
the blender stops when the button is
released. This provides the pulsing action.

Fill blender jar half-full with cold water.
Add about 2 cups of ice cubes. Place
lid on blender jar then press and release
the Ice Breaker button. Continue until
ice is crushed to desired consistency.
Pour contents into colander or sieve to
drain off water.

DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT 
LIQUID. Failure to follow these 
directions can result in damage to the
blades, jar, blender, and possibly result
in personal injury.

• Processing hot foods or liquids in the

blender may cause hot liquid to spurt
out when the cover is removed.
Always remove the filler cap of the
cover before blending hot foods or
liquids.

• To add foods when blender is 

operating, remove filler cap from con-
tainer cover and add ingredients
through the opening.

• If blending action stops during 

blending or ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, turn blender OFF. Remove
cover and use a rubber spatula to
push mixture toward blades.

• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff

dough, whip egg whites, grind raw
meat, or extract juices from fruits and
vegetables. The blender is not made
to perform these tasks.

• Do not store food or liquids in the

blender jar.
