Variable Speed
Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial marker pointed at the
Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
1. Rotate the dial 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 called out in the recipe for as much of the processing time as possible to make
whole-food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters, and for grinding grains. Processing
times will generally be less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). Higher speed provides
the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a
smooth, lump-free consistency.
Blending too long at too low of a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload
Protection to turn off the machine. Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor's cooling fan to avoid
overheating.
If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve Insert the tamper through the
lid plug and stir until it "burps." If this does not work, press the On/Off switch to stop the motor. Remove the
container from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Return
the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.
