The WHOLE JUICE BUTTON is the most powerful button on the TOTAL BLENDER for making a beverage, it liquefies fruits and vegetables. When using frozen fruit to make smoothies, use the WHOLE JUICE BUTTON, this is more powerful than using the SMOOTHIE BUTTON.
Always load the SOFTEST ingredients at the BOTTOM of the jar (i.e. grapes) and the HARDEST ingredients towards the TOP (i.e. ice).
Read BLENDING 101 on PAGE 2 of your RECIPE BOOK, this covers using ICE in your blender. If too much ice is used, the mixture may become frozen. To fix this turn the machine up to SPEED 10 or add more liquid. If your ICE CREAM seems runny, add more ICE and blend at SPEED 10 until mixture is firm.
When making HOT SOUP use WARM WATER and press the SOUP BUTTON and run for 1 CYCLE (90 seconds). When using COLD WATER, run the SOUP BUTTON for 2 CYCLES (3 minutes). If you would like to make your soup hotter at anytime, simply press the SOUP BUTTON again or run the blender at SPEED 10.
Watch the DVD included in the box, it is very informative!
