If the blender sits without controls touched for 30 seconds, the screen dims. To “wake up” the blender touch any of the white words or symbols. If the power button is pressed while the screen is dim, the rest of the graphics will turn off.

PULSO (Pulse) Press PULSO once and it starts flashing. While PULSO is flashing, press it again and the blender will pulse. PULSO always uses the fastest speed.

BLENDING TIPS AND TRICKS

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4″ for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, press Stop ( ■) to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
• When making bread crumbs make sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function; use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use Pulse when preparing beverages that include ice cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press Stop (■ ).
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).
• Do not run blender for longer than 1 1/2 minutes at a time. Scrape down sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats.
