To reset the unit:
This appliance features an advanced resettable ther-
mal fuse. In the event of an overload condition, the unit will shut down
to protect the motor from overheating.
To reset the appliance when this happens, unplug the unit and let it cool
for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then, reduce the contents of the blender
jar or work bowl and/or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the
operating directions.
7.
Pulse mode:
While the blender is turned on, you can create a burst of
power for quick, efficient blending, by activating the pulse function. To
do so, first push the Pulse button, which will cause the pulse indicator
light to flash. Next, push and release the desired speed button. Repeat
as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, all
indicator lights (the on, the pulse, and the
desired speed) 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
which do not require an extended amount of blending.
8.
To crush ice:
The SmartPower
®
7-Speed Electronic Blender motor
is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however,
for your convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crushing.
To give you greater control, the ice crush function automatically oper-
ates as a pulse function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar,
and place the cover and the measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press
the On button. Press the Ice Crush button in short pulses until ice is
crushed to desired consistency. See the Recipe Tips section on page 8
for more details.
