The button for the speed you select will illuminate blue and the blender's timer will display the seconds.The blender will run continuously after you press the Speed button. It will stop if you press the same Speed button again. The timer will also stop. To continue simply press the same Speed button again. When the timer reaches 3 minutes, the unit will automatically shut off.You can change blender speeds by pressing a different Speed button without pressing the Off button. The timer feature will continue while you are blending and will pause in its count when you re-push a Speed button to shut the blender off. The timer will re-set itself to zero only if you press the Off button.
Pulsed operation	To run the blender intermittently (pulse mode) rather than continuously, first press the Pulse button. The Pulse button light will flash blue. Then press and hold one of the five Speed buttons above it to run the blender at that speed. The Speed button you press will illuminate blue. When you release the button the blender will stop and turn Off.The Pulse operation time can accumulate up to 3 minutes.
Ice Crushing	The Ice Crush button is the highest and strongest blender speed. When crushing ice, make sure that the lid is firmly closed.The blender will begin to operate at this speed as soon as you press the Ice Crush button, but will only continue to operate as long as you hold the Ice Crush button down (up to 3 mins). Press the Ice Crush button in quick succession but do not hold the button down. While the Ice Crush button is pressed, it illuminates blue. As soon as you stop pressing the button, the blender turns Off.Put some ice cubes into the jug (12 to 15 ice cubes). There is no need to add water. When the ice is ready, stop the blender. Use spoon to pour out the crushed ice.

During blending, you can feed in small amounts of food or liquid through the jug lid. To do this:

1. Stop the blender and hold the lid.
2. Turn the measuring cup slowly clockwise to free it and then lift it out.

• Never blend very hot liquids in the blender. This is dangerous as the pressure inside the jug will build up and may cause the contents to escape from the jug.
  • If you spill liquid on the blender base immediately switch off and wipe dry.
• Do not run the appliance without securing the lid and measuring cup.
