OPERATING THE BLENDER OPERATING THE BLENDER
Using the Blender pitcher ingredient cup, and Soft Start blending 
feature
• The Blender pitcher ingredient cup can 
be used to measure and add ingredients. 
Remove cup and add ingredients at speeds 
1, 2, or 3. When operating at higher 
speeds with a full pitcher or with hot 
contents, stop the Blender and then add 
ingredients.
• The Soft Start blending feature 
automatically starts the Blender at a lower 
speed to draw ingredients into the blades, 
then quickly increases to the selected 
speed for optimal performance. The Soft 
Start blending feature only works when a 
speed is selected and does not work with 
the Pulse or Ice features. 
IMPORTANT: If blending hot foods or 
liquids, remove the center ingredient cup, 
and place a towel over the lid. Operate 
only on speed 1. Do not use Pulse or Ice 
feature for hot liquids.
