AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION
As shown in Figure 5, the Blendtec Professional Series has automatic blending
cycles for batters, ice crush, smoothies, ice cream, whole juice and soups� These
cycles have variable speed settings that will change during the course of the cycle�
This allows the blender to draw the contents down into the blending vortex, which
creates the desired uniform texture� The blender will run its pre-programmed cycle
and automatically shut off� If at any point you want to stop the blender before it has
completed its cycle, press any button�
Batters: Use this blend cycle to mix, whip and blend batters, sauces, dips,
and dressings�
Ice Crush: Use this button to blend your mixed drinks, milkshakes, or to crush ice�
Smoothie: Use this button to blend your smoothies�
Ice Cream: Use this button to make ice cream�
Whole Juice: Use this button to make whole juice and green drinks�
Soup: Use this button to make hot soup and hot chocolate�
Pulse: Use this button to chop, mince, whip or do other momentary tasks
which do not require a long blend cycle�
Speed Up: Use this button to speed up�

CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base or jar as this will dull
or scratch the surface� Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty�
• NEVER submerge the blender motor in water� Avoid submerging blender jars for
more than 5 minutes� Water penetration through the lower jar seals will reduce the
life of the jar�
• JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE—TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme temperatures damage
the lower seals of the jar� We recommend the jar be hand-washed, and not
subjected to temperatures above 185°F, 85°C�
