Press START/STOP at any time to end the program sooner.NOTE: In Manual mode, Auto-iQ® programs will not illuminate on the control panel.
USING TOTAL SPEED CONTROL & THE POWER PITCHER
NOTE: IF USING MANUAL SPEEDS WITH THE DOUGH BLADE ASSEMBLY, ONLY USE SPEEDS 1 OR 2.
START SLOW | DIAL-UP THE SPEED | HIGH-SPEED BLENDING |
Always start at a low speed (1–3) to better incorporate ingredients and prevent them from sticking to the sides of the vessel. | Smoother blends call for higher speeds. Low speeds are great forchopping veggies and mixing dough, but you’ll need to ramp up for purees and dressings. | Blend until your desired consistency s reached. The longer you blend, the better the breakdown and smoother the outcome will be. |
