6.3 AUTOMATIC AND CUSTOM CONTROLS
PRESETS: The four numbered buttons on the left side of the touchpad oper-
ate four customizable pre-selected blend cycles. To select one of these presets
simply press the designated button.
SELECTING A CYCLE FROM THE CYCLE MENU: To access the Cycle Menu
press the SELECT CYCLE MENU button. The Menu Mode LED will light. The
first category to appear on the LCD display is BEVERAGES. Continue press-
ing or hold down the SELECT CYCLE MENU button to cycle through the cycle
categories.
Once the category of cycles has been reached, press or hold down the arrow
keys to scroll through the cycles listed in that category. To use this cycle, press
the START/STOP button. The LCD display will show the cycle name and the
time remaining within the cycle.
After a cycle has completed within the Menu Mode, the SELECT CYCLE MENU
and UP/DOWN arrows can be used to select another cycle.
Press the PULSE button to exit the Menu Mode.
PULSE CYCLES: Unlike the other cycles, the FOOD PROCESSING category
cycles (Chop, Whip, and Puree) function similar to the pulse function. Use the
START/STOP button as you would the PULSE button by pressing for the desired
duration and releasing when complete.
PROGRAMMING A PRESET: Enter the Menu Mode by pressing the SELECT
CYCLE MENU button. Using the SELECT CYCLE MENU and UP/DOWN arrows
navigate to the cycle you wish to program onto the preset. When the name of
the desired cycle appears on the LED display, press and hold the desired preset
button for two seconds. The display will change to read the name of the existing
cycle on the preset, then change to read “ProgrammingBttnX” where “X” is the
number of the preset. When the programming is complete, the blender will beep
twice and the display will read “Program Complete”. The blender will exit menu
mode automatically and the preset is available for use.
If the blender fails to program the button, the display will read, “Program Failed”.
If you continue to receive this message after multiple attempts to program your
blender, contact Blendtec customer service at 800-253-6383 for assistance.
