You can easily control its blending function by means of the control panel buttons: Single Serve, Stir, Chop, Mix, Liquefy, Ice Crush, and Pulse Single Serve and Pulse allow intermittent operation. Stir, Chop, Mix and Liquefy are continuous operations in an ascending scale of speed from Stir (slowest) to Liquefy (fastest). Ice Crush contains a programmed series of short operation bursts and pauses followed by a continuous blending period. See Fig. 3.

BLENDER TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

For quicker, easier blending, cut food into 2-in. long pieces before adding it to a blender jar. To chop or grate either fresh or frozen fruit, cut fruit into pieces about 3/4 -inch long.
To best circulate foods or fruit that are to be blended with liquid, pour the liquid into the jar first, then add the solid foods or fruit.
The following tasks cannot be performed efficiently with a blender: beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes, grinding meats, mixing dough, and extracting juices from fruit and vegetables.
The following items should never be placed in the blender jar, as they can cause damage: bones, large pieces of solid frozen foods, or dense, tough foods such as turnips.
CRUSHING ICE
To crush ice, ALWAYS have liquid in the jar. Start out with 2 cups of liquid, and add about 2 cups of ice cubes. Hold one hand firmly on the lid. Push the Ice Crush button.
If more ice is needed, remove the measuring cup in the middle of the lid and add cubes one at a time through the hole in the lid. DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT LIQUID.

CAUTION
Failure to follow all of the above directions can result in damage to the blades, jar, and blender motor, and possibly result in personal injury.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, unplug the blender.
Rinse parts (jar with fixed blade assembly, jar lid and measuring cup, and single serving cup blade assembly) immediately after blending for easier clean-up.
All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. The jar lid and measuring cup, single serve lid, and blade assembly should be placed in the top rack only. disassemble all parts from each other before placing them in the dishwasher. The jar with fixed blade assembly and single serve cup are bottom racks dishwasher-safe. Do not place the jar or any other parts in boiling liquids.
CAUTION – The blender blades are sharp.
Be very careful when washing them by hand to avoid being cut.
The motor base is designed to be resistant to liquids. If liquids spill into the motor base:
• Unplug the motor base.
• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• NEVER immerse the motor base in water.
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on the motor base as the finish may become scratched or damaged.
