TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The SmartPower Premier Duet
™
600-Watt Blender/Food Processor features a 5-minute
Count-Up
™
Timer, so that you can time your recipes and
guarantee perfect results. The timer begins counting 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 correspon-
ding 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 reaches
5:00 minutes. The timer will reset itself only when the Off
button is pushed.

START BLENDING: Press the On button. The red LED
indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the blender is
turned on but no speed has been selected.

CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press High or Low button to
determine the speed at which you would like to blend the
ingredients. Both the On indicator light and the activated speed
indicator light will glow. The blender will now be functioning at
the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without press-
ing the Off button, by simply pushing the other speed button.
WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY TO OPERATE.

Note: The Count-Up

TO PAUSE OR STOP BLENDING PROCESS:
a. To Pause Blending Process:
Push the button corresponding to the speed at which you
are currently blending. For example: If you are blending on
High speed, push the High speed button and the blender will
stop blending, but the unit will remain on.
Note: By pausing the blending process, you will also pause the
timer. The timer will pause until you start blending again.
b. To Stop Blending Process:
Push the Off button when you are finished with your recipe
and would like to turn the blender off.
Note: When you push the Off button, the timer will stop count-
ing and the LED display will reset to 0:00. When the
blender is turned back on and a speed button is pushed,
the timer will begin to count from 0:00.

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 duration 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.
