1. Plug the motor base into a power outlet.
2. Press the full circle button for an automated blending cycle, or press and hold the pulse circle button for manual control.
3. Blend until desired consistency is achieved. For optimal results with frozen ingredients or ice, ensure sufficient liquid is added to facilitate blending.
4. Once blending is complete, twist the cup counter-clockwise to unlock and lift it from the motor base.
5. Unscrew the Rapid Extractor Blade and attach a To-Go Lid if desired.

5.2 Using the Food Processor
