How to operate your T&G 2 Blending Station
six Programmed Buttons.
The following is the basic factory settings of the six PROGRAMMED buttons:
• Press Button One for program - SMOOTHIE - Blends drinks with just juice and ice.
• Press Button Two for program - SMOOTH 2 - Blends regular smoothies for an extended
cycle.
• Press Button Three for program - COFFEE - Blends light coffee drinks.
• Press Button Four for program - SHAKES -This cycle is good for ice cream and
milkshakes.
• Press Button Five for program - COCKTAIL - Blend margaritas, daiquiris.
• Press Button Six for program - OTHER - Specialty drinks, using frozen fruit and other hard
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 Programmed Button
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. If 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 PULSE H button the speed of the blending can
increase up to 100% of the motor speed. By pressing the PULSE L 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-SET PROGRAM.
