ON/OFF Button
This button is used to start the ThermoBlend 2 after having selected the time, speed and
temperature (although the temperature function is not always necessary depending on the
cooking function). When it is ON, the Power Indicator Light changes from red to blue and the
appliance begins to perform the programmed task.
To stop or pause the machine, simply press this button again.
Pulse Button
The Pulse function is used to mix and chop ingredients at a very high speed by keeping this
button pressed during the required time, usually of 3 to 4 seconds.
To use Pulse, at standby mode press the ON/OFF button once, then press the Pulse button to
activate it.
Caution: When using this function, it is important to note that the ingredients may splash and
might result in burns if the necessary cautions are not taken. It is recommended to that you turn
the measuring cup to the lock position when using the Pulse function. Do not use the Mixing tool
with this function.
NOTE: For an added safety measure the pulse function is only available in the OFF mode.
Temperature
ThermoBlend 2 has a temperature range from 37°C minimum to a maximum of 100°C, and
Steam setting (ST) that can be programmed with the temperature control TEMP. The
temperature is increased or selected by turning this control in a clockwise direction, and
reduced in an anticlockwise direction. The selected temperature will appear on the screen and a
beep will indicate that the ThermoBlend 2 has reached the selected temperature.
This innovative ThermoBlend 2 comes with the heating film technology which is situated in the
base of the bowl and allows the machine to quickly reach the desired temperature. The
temperature interval is of 10°C and begins from 37°C: 37, 50, 60, 70 until it reaches a maximum
of 100°C and Steam setting (ST).
Soft start function (above 60°C)
If the Pulse button is pressed or the high speed level actuated while the temperature in the bowl
is 60 °C or above , the electronic system prevents the food from escaping by delaying the speed
increase. This soft start only works if the food has been heated up or cooked in the bowl. Then
the temperature sensor can measure the actual temperature correctly and control the soft start
accordingly. If using the machine to process food that has not been heated or cooked in the
appliance (e.g. preparing a gravy from hot meat juices) you should only increase the speed
slowly and gradually.
CAUTION: There is danger of scalding by splashing hot food. Never use the Pulse button or
abruptly increase the speed when processing food that has not been heated in the machine.
SPEED Dial
ThermoBlend 2 comes with 10 speeds for chopping, mixing, blending, kneading and grating that
are controlled by the Speed dial.
Speed for Creamy Mixtures
As certain recipes require a smooth or slow speed, (such as cream, soups, whipped creams etc.)
ThermoBlend 2 comes with an accessory, the Mixing Tool, specially designed for these types of
dishes.
This accessory is placed on top of the blades inside the bowl and mixes at speeds 1-4.
Note: Do not surpass speed 4 when the Mixing tool is in place.
