SMOOTHIE MAKER OPERATION
To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow the steps below.
1. Assemble the smoothie blade base, with dispensing valve, onto the blending jar.
2. ADD LIQUIDS – Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS
mark under SERVES 2 or SERVES 4 located on the blending jar. Liquids
include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements, or
yogurt in any combination you think would be tasty.
We are, of course, partial to the Back to Basics
and easily make three delicious 8-ounce smoothies.
3. ADD ICE – Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the
FROZEN INGREDIENTS line on the side of the blending jar. Frozen ingredients
include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.
4. SMOOTH IT – With the lid on and the stir stick (use as directed
below) set in the hole on the lid, pulse the mixture 3 to 5 times
by pressing the "PULSE" button. Move the switch to "LOW"
and press the "ON" button for about 30 seconds. Move the
switch to the "HIGH" position and wait until the ingredients are
completely mixed.
STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the
machine is running, stir or rotate the Stir Stick in a counter-
clockwise direction so that the Stir Stick scrapes or contacts
the sides of the blending jar. This stirring operation will aid in
mixing the contents of the blending jar by forcing the
ingredients into the mixing blades.
5. SERVE IT – To serve the smoothie, turn the appliance "ON", move the dial to
"LOW", place a cup under the valve and press down on the valve lever. Stir the
contents in the blending jar with the stir stick while dispensing thick smoothies.
As the smoothie level reaches the bottom of the blending jar, a thick mix may
stop dispensing. Add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase flow. When the
blending jar is empty, turn the machine "OFF" and enjoy. You can continue
making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the smoothie maker a
3-minute break after 90 seconds of continuous use.
