QUICK START GUIDE

What’s in the Box

AUTO-iQ®  MODE

Intelligent preset programs combine unique blending and pausing patterns that do the work for you. Once a preset program is selected, it will start immediately and automatically stop when blending is complete.

TIP:
The unit can detect which container is installed on the motor base.
Only the functions available for a particular container will illuminate on the control panel.

MANUAL MODE

Go manual for total control of your blending speed and textures. Dial down the speed for heavy loads like dough, or crank up the speed for smoothies. Continuously runs up to 60 seconds. Press START/STOP at any time to end the program sooner.
NOTE: In Manual mode, Auto-iQ™ programs will not illuminate on the control panel.

Use short presses for short pulses and long presses for long pulses.

USING TOTAL SPEED CONTROL & THE POWER PITCHER
NOTE: IF USING MANUAL SPEEDS WITH THE DOUGH BLADE ASSEMBLY, ONLY USE SPEEDS 1 OR 2.

START SLOW Always start at a low speed (1–3) to better incorporate ingredients and prevent them from sticking to the sides of the vessel.| DIAL UP THE SPEED Smoother blends call for higher speeds. Low speeds are great for chopping veggies and mixing dough, but you’ll need to ramp up for purees and dressings.| HIGH-SPEED BLENDING Blend until your desired consistency is reached. The longer you blend, the better the breakdown and smoother the outcome will be.
