1. Place liquids and soft foods in container first, solid items and ice last. Although not
necessaryfor processing, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for
precise measuring of ingredients.Thawed or partially thawed fruit is recommended.
High-speed is recommended 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 blender with
the container empty.
3. Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be securely locked
in place. When processing hot liquids, DO NOT use a non-latching or one-piece lid.
4. Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged). Select desired speed setting.
Most foods are blended on HIGH speed. Start heavy or thick foods on the recommended
speed then switch to HIGH once the mixture begins processing.
4a. If mixture stops circulating, you have likely trapped an air bubble. Either insert the
accelerator tool through the lid while blending (see page 11), or stop the motor,
remove the container from the base and stir or scrape the mixture from the sides
of container into the center using a rubber spatula to press any air bubbles away
from the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
4b. Due to the blending speed of the machine, processing times are greatly reduced
over other manufacturers’machines. Until you become accustomed to the speed,
watch your mixture carefully to avoid over-blending.
Warning: 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/food.
Inspect your blade assembly for loose, nicked or missing parts. If parts are
loose, missing or nicked, replace with new blade assembly. (See page 10.)
6. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
removing the lid or container from the motor base.

over other manufacturers’ machines. Until you become accustomed to the speed,
watch your mixture carefully to avoid over-blending.
4c. If stopping the machine mid-cycle, use the START/STOPswitch, not the ON/OFF
switch. If the ON/OFF switch was used, wait 30 seconds for power to recycle and
the timer to reset before resuming operation.
Note:
The START/STOPTIMER switch on your machine is lit when power is ON.
Avoid moveable parts. The machine may stop working if it is overloaded on low
speed. Reset the machine by turning power off for 30 seconds.
Warning: 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, nicked or missing parts. If parts are
loose, missing, or nicked, replace with new blade assembly. (See page 10.)
5. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
removingthe lid or container from the motor base.
6. To use the PULSEswitch to refresh drinks: Make sure the power is ON. W ith the
container on the motor base, depress the PULSE switch. Release the switch to stop
the motor.
7. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF when not in use.
NOTE:
The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it from overheating. To
restart, wait for motor to cool down with the power off (up to 45 minutes). Cooling may be
quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot. Unplug first. Tospeed up the process,
try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base. When the thermal
protector shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques and your instructions.
Your recipes may be too thick (add liquid), be processed too long at too low a speed setting,
or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but the thermal
protector has not turned the machine off, stop the machine and remove the container
from the base.
Follow these instructions for the Two-Speed or Variable Speed Drink Machines, Vita-Pro
and Vita-Preps: Set the dial on HIGH (#10). Turn the machine ON and let the machine run
for 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving part while in use.
Follow these instructions for the BarBoss and Timer Blenders: Set the timer for 20
seconds. Turn the machine ON and let the machine run for 20 seconds. Repeat this step 3
times for a total of 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.
