speeds during blending. You can pause the timer by pausing
the blending process. Do this by pushing the button correspon-

example: If you are blending in Low speed and you push the
Low speed button, the blender will stop blending and the timer
will stop counting, but the unit will remain on. To continue
blending and timing your recipe, push one of the speed
buttons. The timer will also stop counting when it reaches
5:00 minutes. The timer will reset itself only when the Off

pressing the OFF button, by simply pushing the other speed

are currently blending. For example: If you are blending on
HIGH speed, push the HIGH speed button and the blender
will stop blending, but the unit will remain on.
Note: By pausing the blending process, you will also pause the

Push the OFF Button when you are finished with your recipe

counting and the LED display will reset to 0:00. When the
blender is turned back on and a speed button is pushed,

pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light will glow. The
pulse function can be used to break apart larger pieces of food
or to control the texture of food when chopping. The pulse
function is also effective in starting the blending process when
you do not want continuous power, or when processing items
