milkshakes.

• Press Button Five for program - COCKTAIL- Blend margaritas, daiquiris.

ingredients for a thick but consistent drink.

1. Place liquids and soft foods in the machine’s container first, solid items and ice last. Prepare food

by cutting or breaking into 1-3 inch (3-8 cm) pieces. Frozen fruit, especially, should be as small as

practical. Thawed or partially thawed fruit is recommended. We recommend ProgrammedButton

Five or Six for heavy-duty blending.

2. Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad anchored to the base.

(Motor must be completely stopped before positioning container). Containers are not to be

used for hard, dry materials. Avoid running the machine with an empty container.

3. Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be securely in place.

4.Select desired programmed setting by pressing any of the Pre-Set Buttons One through Six. The

machine will begin immediately to cycle through the selected program, and turn off when the

program is complete. Each button has a different pre-selected combination of speed and length

for blending.

NOTE: If you detect a change in the sound of the machine or if a hard or foreign object comes into

contact with the blades, do not serve the drink. Inspect your blade assembly for loose, knicked or

missing parts. I f parts are loose, missing or knicked replace with a new blade assembly. (See page 20).

5. Once one of the six PROGRAMMED Buttons is pushed the machine will start and stop automatically.

By pressing another PROGRAMMED Button, the machine will stop the blending cycle.

6. During any of the blending cycles, by pressing the PULSEH button the speed of the blending can

increase up to 100% of the motor speed. By pressing the PULSEL button during a blending cycle the

speed of the motor will be increased/decreased to 50%. Once released the motor speed will revert

back to the blending cycle of the PRE-SETPROGRAM.
