REVIEWING THE CONTROL BUTTONS
You’ll find 4 control buttons located on the side of the blender motor base:
~ LO turns on the blender at the low speed. This speed should be used for the first
30 seconds of mixing as well as for pouring.
~ HI turns on the blender at the high speed. This speed should be used for the final
stage of mixing. Do not use this speed for pouring.
~ OFF shuts off the machine when either the LO or HI button is in the on position.
~ PULSE is for short pulses of blending on a high speed. This button works only when
you hold it down. When you release the button, the blender will stop automatically.
SOME SMOOTHEE MAKING TIPS
~ You can add ingredients while the blender is operating by removing the small cap
inside of the lid (do not remove the lid while motor is running). Simply drop
ingredients through the opening. Be sure to cut the food into 1-inch piece to fit
through the opening. Replace the small lid cap after you have finished adding
ingredients.
~ Do not place any utensil (scraper, fork, etc.) in the blender jar while blender is
operating.
~ When blending solid foods, such as raw vegetables, cooked or uncooked meats and
fruits always cut them into no larger than 1-inch pieces before placing them into the jar.
Blend no more than 2 cups of these foods at a time. This will speed the blending
process and reduce wear on the blending blades.
~ Always place liquid ingredients in the jar first, unless a recipe specifically states
otherwise.
~ Avoid over-blending. Usually, you will need to blend for a few seconds, not for
minutes. Over-blending may cause food to be mushy.
~ Be sure the motor has completely stopped before removing blender container from the
motor base.

1. ADD LIQUIDS
Always add liquids first. This will result in more consistent and thorough smoothee making.
Follow your recipe, or you may use the markings on the container.
2. ADD FRUITS
&
SOFT FOODS
Next add fruits and other soft foods, cutting the pieces into about 1-inch chunks. Again, you
may use the markings on the container as a guide.
3. ADD FROZEN INGREDIENTS OR ICE
Finally frozen ingredients or ice. The container has a frozen ingredient marking, which can be
used as a guide. Other popular frozen ingredients include ice cream, frozen yogurt, and even
frozen fruits, etc. If adding ice, add sparingly, no more than 1 cup per container.
4. START ON LO
Always start with the lid on. Place the smoothee-stick into the lid hole, or use the small lid
cap in place of the smoothee-stick. Start on LO, usually no more than 30 seconds. If the
motor should slow down due to extra thick ingredients, switch over to HI right away.
5. USE SMOOTHEE-STICK
Rotate Smoothee-Stick as needed to keep any thick ingredients moving. You may also plunge
the smoothee-stick in a downward motion if necessary. Sometimes counter clockwise stirring
is a little better. Many times you won’t even need the smoothee-stick at all!
6. SWITCH TO HI
Continue final blending of your smoothee until you reach your desired texture.
7. SERVE THE SMOOTHEE
Turn off motor, place glass under Smoothee-Faucet, press down lever and dispense! You may
also dispense while motor is running on LO. Sometimes if the smoothee is thick, it will
dispense easier with motor running. The smoothee-stick will also help in dispensing any thick
smoothees. Also, if you add a little extra liquid to that last bit of thick smoothee left in the
container, that helps it to dispense too.
