Your O
STERIZER
® B
LENDER
is a multi-speed appliance which operates on a wide range of speeds
from very slow to very fast. This range of speeds makes food preparation easy, interesting
and also saves time because your O
STERIZER
® B
LENDER
processes foods in seconds.
In addition, your O
STERIZER
® B
LENDER
has two distinct methods of operation:
1 – CONTINUOUS run for blending, liquefying and fine chopping and
2 – CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING , used for coarse chopping pieces of food,
such as chopped vegetables, nuts or cheeses. There are several different ways of operating the
CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING feature but all involve turning the motor “ON” and “OFF”
intermittently. During the “ON” portion of the cycle, food is chopped and tossed away from
the blades. During the “OFF” portion of the cycle, the food is distributed around the blades to make
processing more uniform.
IN THIS BOOK, THE CONTROLLED CYCLE BLENDING FEATURE
IS REFERRED TO AS A CYCLE.
N
OTE
: A cycle consists of operating the Blender for about 2 seconds and then
allowing the blade to coast to a stop.

FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION
Determine whether you want to use “High” or “Low” continuous cycling. Push the “High”
or “Low” button, rest hand on top of container and then push desired “speed” button.
All speed buttons are continuous speed buttons except for Ice, Crush and Mix,
which are controlled cycle buttons (labeled “pulse”). Press “Off” to turn Blender off.
FOR CONTROLLED CYCLE OPERATIONS
The “Ice Crush” (high) and the “Mix” (low) buttons are controlled cycle operations.
To use, determine whether you want to use “High” or “Low” controlled cycle operation.
Press “High” or “Low” button accordingly. Rest hand on top of container and then push
button labeled “Ice Crush” (high)/“Mix” (low)/“Pulse”. Hold button down for about
2 seconds, then release and allow blades to coast to a stop. Repeat cycles until contents
reach desired consistency. Release of “Pulse” button turns the Blender off.
