TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The SmartPower Premier
Blender features a 5-minute Count-Up
your recipes and guarantee perfect results. The timer begins count-
ing from 0 as soon as you push your desired speed: High, Low, Pulse
or Ice Crush. The timer will continue to count up even if you change
speeds during blending. You can pause the timer by pausing the
blending process. Do this by pushing the button corresponding to
the speed at which you are currently blending. For example: If you
are blending in Low speed and you push the Low speed button, the
blender will stop blending and the timer will stop counting, but the unit
will remain on. To continue blending and timing your recipe, push one
of the speed buttons. The timer will also stop counting when it reach-
es 5:00 minutes. The timer will only reset itself when the Off button is
pushed.

b. To Stop Blending Process: Push the Off button when you are

the LED display will reset to 0:00. When the blender is turned back on

PULSE MODE: The pulse mode allows you to create a burst of power
for quick, efficient blending. To use the pulse function, push the On
button and the red LED indicator light will illuminate. Push the Pulse
button, and the pulse LED indicator light will blink. Push and release
the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the dura-
tion of each pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light will glow.
The pulse function can be used to break apart larger pieces of food
or to control the texture of food when chopping. The pulse function is
also effective in starting the blending process when you do not want
continuous power, or when processing items that do not require an
extended amount of blending.
Note: The timer will count when you push or hold down the Pulse
button. The timer will pause when you release the Pulse button.

TO CRUSH ICE: The SmartPower Premier
is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however for
your convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crushing. To
give you greater control, the ice crush function automatically operates
as a pulse function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar.
Press the On button. The On indicator light will illuminate. Press the
Ice Crush button in short pulses until ice is crushed to desired consis-
tency. See Recipe Tips section on page 8 for more details.
Note: The timer will count when you push or hold down the Ice Crush
button. The timer will pause when you release the Ice Crush button.

TO DISLODGE FOOD: Use a rubber or plastic spatula to help remove
food lodged around the cutting assembly. DO NOT USE SPATULA
UNTIL YOU HAVE TURNED THE BLENDER OFF. Replace the cover
and measured pour lid and continue blending, if necessary. Make sure
spatula is not inside the blender jar before blending.
10. WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: Press the Off button and unplug the
blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar from
the motor base until the blender is off. Do not twist locking ring from
blender jar when removing jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar
from motor base. Do not place hands into blender jar with blender
plugged in.
