HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS
Always start the machine with the Speed Switch down to the LO position. If a recipe calls for processing on HI, flick the
switch from LO to HI. Do not begin processing on HI, always start with the Variable Speed Dial on LO.
Process on the HI setting 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). HI speed provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or
vegetables, and grains to a smooth lump-free consistency.
TIP: Blending too long at the low speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to
turn the machine off. Use the HI speed as often as possible to achieve the most uniform consistency. Blending on HI
speed also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.
When on HI, if the food does not circulate, the machine may be overloaded or may have trapped an air bubble.
Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tamper
