game with fruits having more ﬁber such as pineapple or mango. You can see

that different types of products (juice, syrup, puree) and different ﬂavors (e.g.,

apple, mango) have different levels of thickness and ﬁber; the thicker the ingre-

dients, the tougher the blend!

This is why you will hear the blender speeding up and slowing down at differ-

ent times throughout the various blend cycles. Based on the type of foods the

blend cycle is designed to handle, it will blend at higher or lower speeds for

different lengths of time in order to produce the most consistent results.

The Tom Dickson Extreme Blender was designed with many different food

items in mind and blend cycles make it produce consistent results across a

wider range of food items than any other home blender. However, things like

the temperature of ice and the amount of liquid in the various foods used in a

recipe will create different blending characteristics.

The recipe book included with your machine is designed for an overall average

in terms of ice temperature and the amount of liquid typically contained in vari-

ous fruits and vegetables. Your experience may be different depending on local

conditions and you may need to adjust certain recipes to have more or less ice,

and higher or lower portions of fruits and vegetables or other ingredients. For

example, if a drink is too thick to blend adequately, try reducing the ice a little

and replacing the ice with a little water or other liquid. You will be amazed at
