NOTE: Once blending possibility is selected, runtime will count up
on the display in seconds. Total time varies from seconds up to

press START/STOP. When selected, each speed runs continuously
for 60 seconds. Press the dial again to stop the program sooner.
START SLOW (Speeds 1–3):
Always start at low speed to better incorporate
ingredients and prevent them from sticking to
the sides of the vessel.

are great for chopping veggies, but you’ll need to
ramp up for purees and dressings.
HIGH-SPEED BLENDING (Speeds 8–10):
Blend until your desired consistency is reached.
The longer you blend, the better the breakdown
and smoother the outcome will be.
LARGE CHOP:
