1. On/Off Switch (l)/(O): The On/Off Switch controls the power to the machine base. The On/Off Switch is located on the front of the
machine. After plugging in the unit, make sure the marker on the Variable Speed Dial is pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of
the dial and move the On/Off Switch to the On position.
Move the On/Off Switch to the Off position at night and whenever the machine will be left unattended.
If the On/Off switch is moved to the Off position to stop a program mid-cycle, wait 30 seconds for power to recycle and the timer to
reset before moving the On/Off switch to the On position.
2. On/Off Light: The On/Off light is located on the front of the machine above the On/Off switch. When lit, the machine is plugged in and
the On/Off switch is in the On position. The light will flash when a program is near completion.
3. Start ( )/Stop ( ) Switch: After the marker on the Variable Speed Dial is rotated off of the Stop Symbol ( ) to either Variable Speed
1 or a Program setting, press the Start/Stop Switch to start the machine and initiate the blending process. Pressing the Start/Stop
Switch again will stop the blending process.
Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start/Stop switch at any time. If reactivated by pushing down the Start/Stop switch,
the program will start at the beginning.
4. Pulse Switch ( ): Variable Speed: Pressing down on the Pulse Switch will cause the machine to blend at the speed setting shown on
Variable Speed Dial for as long as the Pulse Switch is held down. The Pulse function can be used when a program is selected. Pushing
down the Pulse switch when a program is selected will cause the machine to run at 50% of high power for as long as the Pulse switch
is pushed down.

6. Programs: Your machine is equipped with three program settings for the most commonly used recipes. Rotating the Variable Speed
Dial left of center allows you to select a program for Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, and Hot Soups. These programs are optimized
for these recipe categories, but may also work well with other recipe choices. Programs vary in blending speed and duration and
will automatically stop at the end of the program. Programs can be interrupted by pushing down the Start/Stop switch at any time.
If reactivated by pushing down the Start/Stop switch, the program will start at the beginning.
