H OW D OE S YO UR OS TER ® BLEND ER
Your OSTER blender is a multiple‑speed electrical appliance that operates at a wide range of
®
speeds—from lowest to highest. This speed range makes food preparation interesting, quick,
and easy.
In addition, your OSTER blender has two different operation modes:
®
1.
CONTINOUS to blend, mix, and finely chop.
2.
BLEND CONTROL CYCLE, used to grind chopped food, such as chopped vegetables,
nuts or cheese. There are different ways to operate the BLEND CONTROL CYCLE, but
they are all related to activating blender motor at intervals, alternating between on and off.
During "on" position of cycle, food is ground and moved away from blades. During "off"
position of cycle, food is replaced over blades to smooth out processing.
NOTE: One cycle includes operating blender for about 2 seconds and then allowing blades to
come to a complete stop.
