6.2 AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION
As shown in Figure 5, the Blendtec Professional Series has automatic blending
cycles for batters, ice crush, smoothies, ice cream, whole juice and soups. These
cycles have variable speed settings that will change during the course of the cycle.
This allows the blender to draw the contents down into the blending vortex, which
creates the desired uniform texture. The blender will run its pre-programmed cycle
and automatically shut off. If at any point you want to stop the blender before it has
completed its cycle, press any button.
Batters: Use this blend cycle to mix, whip and blend batters, sauces, dips,
and dressings.
Ice Crush: Use this button to blend your mixed drinks, milkshakes, or to crush ice.
Smoothie: Use this button to blend your smoothies.
Ice Cream: Use this button to make ice cream.
Whole Juice: Use this button to make whole juice and green drinks.
Soup: Use this button to make hot soup and hot chocolate.
Pulse: Use this button to chop, mince, whip or do other momentary tasks
which do not require a long blend cycle.
Speed Up: Use this button to speed up.
Speed Down: Use this button to decrease speed.
SECTION 5 – CARE AND CLEANING
5.1 AFTER-USE CLEANING
1. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of hot water and a drop of liquid dishwashing soap to the jar.
2. Place the lid tightly onto the jar. Place the jar on the blender base and, with your
hand placed on top of the lid, press the pulse button for 5 seconds.
3. Rinse with clear water until all soap is rinsed from jar and lid.
4. Clean the blender base by simply wiping the base and touchpad with a damp cloth.
5.2 LONG-TERM SANITATION
1. Fill the jar with hot water.
2. Add one teaspoon (5 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach.
3. Stir for 10 seconds to mix water and bleach. Let mixture stand in jar for 5 minutes.
4. Empty water/bleach mixture. Turn jar upside down on dish rack until dry.
5.3 CLEANING TIPS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not use abrasives or stiff brushes to clean the blender base or jar as this will dull
or scratch the surface. Cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty.
• NEVER submerge the blender motor in water. Avoid submerging blender jars for
more than 5 minutes. Water penetration through the lower jar seals will reduce the
life of the jar.
• JAR IS DISHWASHER SAFE—TOP RACK ONLY! Extreme temperatures damage
the lower seals of the jar. We recommend the jar be hand-washed, and not
subjected to temperatures above 185°F, 85°C.
