To assemble, place the pitcher on your motor base so it forms a diamond. When you are facing the front of the blender, the pitcher handle should be on the right side of the base or facing you for the pitcher to sit correctly. Once the pitcher is on the base, twist clockwise or to the left to form a square and lock the pitcher in place. The handle will now be aligned with the front right corner or front left corner of the base.
Certain Smart Programs are compatible with each container. You are able to select only those programs that are illuminated once a certain container is locked in place on the base.
The EXTRACT program is ideal for hard, leafy, or fibrous whole fruits and vegetables, including their skins, seeds, and stems. EXTRACT is best used when making smoothies, ice pops, or morning green shots with these ingredients.
Use the REFRESHER program to add natural veggie, fruit, and herb flavors to your water.
Use the SNOW CONE program to pulverize ice or frozen fruit into frozen creations like snow cones, granitas, or slushies.
Use DRESSING to create homemade salad dressings, marinades, and sauces.
Use the DIPs program to create dips and sides with more texture, like mashed potatoes and spinach and artichoke dip. Use the DIPs program to create dips and sides with more texture like mashed potatoes and spinach and artichoke dip.
Use LOW, HIGH, and PULSE when you want more control over the outcome of your recipe. PULSE will only operate when the button is pressed. Touch the button quickly for short pulses. LOW and HIGH will run continuously until they are stopped.
To pause a blending cycle, press again on the same program button you initially selected. You can pause the program at any time and the digital timer will hold its countdown until the cycle is resumed. To stop a program entirely, press STOP.
Connect the motor base to a power source and the power symbol will illuminate. Once illuminated, press power. If a container is attached, you will see all of the available Smart Programs. If there is no container attached, the display will show "-:--" until a container is properly assembled on the base.
The ingredients have been over-processed. Use PULSE mode for controlled processing.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Use ice straight from the freezer. Start with a few pulses and then go to a continuous blending cycle. For best results, use the SNOW CONE program in the pitcher.
The container is not installed on the motor base properly. For your safety, the unit will be able to be turned on only when the container is properly installed. Please refer to the assembly pages of the instruction manual for assistance.

- Hand-Washing: Wash containers, lids, and blade assemblies in warm, soapy water. When washing the blade assemblies, use a dishwashing utensil with a handle to avoid direct hand contact with the blades. Handle blade assemblies with care to avoid contact with sharp edges.
