Instructions for using the Pre-Set Program Buttons

The following is the basic settings of the six Pre-Set buttons for The Quiet One®. These programs, numbered 1 through 6, are blending cycles designed for the most commonly made drinks. Depending on the viscosity of the drink you are creating, selecting one of the Pre-Set programs will run the machine for a full cycle. The machine will stop by itself when the cycle is complete. A cycle varies in speed and length. Your machine’s Pre-Set options may differ due to program revisions or due to the difference of recipes, your results may also vary.

BUTTON 1: General Purpose / Smoothie – blends smoothies and thin drinks consisting of juice and ice to a creamy consistency. (:18)

BUTTON 2: Double Smoothie – blends similar drinks to that of button 1 but at larger volumes. (:18)

BUTTON 3: Frozen Coffee and Juices – blends light coffee drinks to a creamy consistency. (:18)

BUTTON 4: Ice Cream Drinks – blends drinks containing hard ice cream to a thick shake consistency. (:28)

BUTTON 5: Double and hard-to-blend ice cream drinks. (:20)

BUTTON 6: Thick Hard-to-blend Smoothie – blends thick frozen fruit & hard

ingredients for a thick but consistent smoothie. (:28)

Blending Tips

1.Place liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary for processing, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more precise measuring of ingredients. Thawed or partially thawed fruit is recommended.

2.As a general rule, compared to other blenders, you do not need as much ice to make an equally frozen drink in The Quiet One®. If your recipe freezes up, try reducing the amount of ice.

3.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 your machine with the container empty.

4.Always use a lid that is securely attached when blending.

5.Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged). Press the On/Off switch to on. Select desired programmed setting by pressing any of the Pre-Set buttons 1 through 6. The machine will immediately begin to cycle through the selected program and turn off when the program is complete. (NOTE: Each button has a different pre-selected combination of speed and length for blending.)
