Using the Magic Platinum Pro Blender is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ...
1. Load the ingredients into the Short Cup, Tall Cup, or Party Mug.
2. Twist on the Cross Blade or Flat Blade until the blade and cup have a tight seal.
3. Line up the tabs, place THE BULLET™ on the Power Base and press down on the cup to turn it on.
Here's how it works: As long as you're holding it down, the Magic Platinum Pro is on. When you want the blades to stop, simply let go.
Or, for hands-free operation: Press down and gently turn the cup clockwise until the tabs lock under the lip of the Power Base. Now the Magic Platinum Pro is in Lock On mode where the motor runs continually. To turn it off, simply twist the cup back counterclockwise and release the cup.
Mastering the Magic Platinum Pro Blender "Mixing" Techniques is a snap!
Lock On Mode is the hands free mode you use to blend foods until they achieve a smooth consistency. This is the technique for preparing creamy dishes like chocolate mousse, smoothies and frozen cocktails.
Here are some video clips that demonstrate the Lock On technique:

The Pulsing Technique is the one to use when you want chunky, textured dishes such as guacamole, egg salad or bean dip.
The most important thing to remember about "Pulsing" is that as you use one hand to tap down on the top of the cup, you need to use your other hand to apply counter- clockwise pressure to the cup.
