Blendtec Cycle Conversions
What if my blender doesn't have the Batters cycle? I don't see a Whole Juice button on my Blendtec - what speed should I use? If you have found yourself asking these questions, you are not alone.
Our Fresh Blends Recipe Book and many of the recipes on our website were created specifically for the Total Blender Classic Series, which has 6 preprogrammed blend cycles, manual speed up & speed down controls, and a pulse button. Since then, many new Blendtec models have been created and they don't all have the same options. However, they all have the same capabilities!

We're working on creating a prettier conversion chart, but for now, use these instructions to convert blend cycles:
SMOOTHIE Blend on a Medium speed for 40-50 seconds.
SAUCES/DIPS/DRESSINGS/BATTERS Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30 seconds.
ICE CREAM/FROZEN YOGURT Blend on a Low speed for 15 seconds, then blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 30 seconds.
WHOLE JUICE Blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 50-60 seconds.
SOUPS/SYRUPS/FONDUES Blend on a High speed for 90-180 seconds, blending longer for hotter soup.
CLEAN CYCLE Blend for 10-20 seconds, starting at a low speed and gradually increasing to a high speed, then decreasing again before stopping.
ICE CRUSH/MILKSHAKE Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30-40 seconds.
Keep an eye on it as to not over- or under-blend.
*These cycles are meant to be guides. You may want to blend less or more depending on the consistency you're looking for (and the ingredients you're using). Any questions? Ask us in the comments below. Happy blending!
Thanks for this conversion, it is very helpful. I did not seem to get a manual or recipe book with my Classic 575. Is there some way I can get this?
Hi Neelu,
I have emailed you an owner’s manual that should help.
i bought a blendtec express in India, through a company dealer. it only has number buttons , with no indication of “soup” " smoothie, ice cream etc.. … it came with a CD in diff languages other than english.
need help , on using the numbered buttons for specific functions..
Hi,
This may be a simple question, but I’m not exactly sure what you mean by blend on low, medium, etc. I only have preprogrammed buttons and the speed up, speed down button. I don’t have a batter button, so how do I make this conversion?
Those are different speed settings. Some of our recipes don’t use a preprogrammed cycle, just a speed setting. They are also used in place of any preprogrammed cycles that are not on your model. You can refer to our conversion guide here: http://www.blendtec.com/blog/blendtec-cycle-conversions/.
