Program | Description | Simple Manual Alternative |
Dips | This cycle stays at relatively low speeds for shorter periods of time. This combines your dips, allowing the flavors to blend together properly, without over-mixing. To use the Dips cycle, load your jar as indicated in the recipe you are using, secure the lid, and press the Dips icon. The blender will run the cycle and automatically shut off. | Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30 seconds. |
Ice Cream | This cycle is designed specifically for frozen treats, including ice cream, sorbets, and frozen yogurt. The cycle speeds up and slows down at the appropriate moments to ensure your blends stay frozen. To use the Ice Cream cycle, load your jar as indicated in the recipe you are using, secure the lid, and press the Ice Cream icon. The blender will run the cycle and automatically shut off. After creating your frozen dessert, serve immediately and store leftovers in the freezer. | Blend on a Low speed for 15 seconds, then blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 30 seconds. |
Hot Soup | This cycle is designed for hot recipes. The cycle’s length of time, combined with the speed of the motor, heats the ingredients to a hot temperature. This cycle can also be used for hot chocolate, syrups, and fondue. When using fresh ingredients, remember that the speed of the blade generates enough heat to warm the ingredients. Do not add any liquids or ingredients over 46° C (115° F) to the jar when preparing soups or hot items. | Blend for 10-20 seconds, starting at a low speed and gradually increasing to a high speed, then decreasing again before stopping. |
Mixed Drinks | This cycle is used for mixed drinks, iced coffees, and milkshakes. The length of time creates a consistency that is ideal for these types of recipes. | Blend on a Medium to Medium-fast speed for 50 seconds. |
Pulse | The Pulse function is used for chopping, mincing, whipping, or other momentary tasks that do not require a long blend cycle. You can also Pulse to quickly stir a blend before serving. The Pulse setting runs at speed 7 and will only run while the Pulse icon remains pressed. When the icon is released, the motor shuts off. | |
Clean | This cycle that automatically cleans the inside of your blender jar. To use the Clean cycle: 1. Add 1 cup (240ml) of water and a drop of dish soap to the blender jar. 2. Secure the lid and place the jar on the blender base. 3. Press the Clean button. 4. Once the cycle is complete, remove the jar and rinse. For best results, use the Clean cycle immediately after blending | Press pulse 5-6 times |
Whole Juice | This cycle is designed to completely blend tough and dense ingredients, including carrots, celery, and seeds. Use the Whole Juice cycle if you are using any fruits and/or vegetables with stems, seeds, or skins. When blending carrot juice or other dense juices, you may need to repeat this cycle once or twice until the desired texture and consistency are achieved. | Blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 50-60 seconds. |
Smoothie | This cycle is designed specifically for various types of smoothies and thick drinks that frequently use dense or frozen ingredients. It slows down and speeds up automatically during the course of the cycle. This allows the blender to draw the ingredients into the blending vortex, creating the desired texture. | Blend on a Medium speed for 40-50 seconds. |
Batter | This cycle stays at relatively low speeds for shorter periods of time. This combines your batters, allowing the flavors to blend together properly, without over-mixing. | Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30 seconds. |
