To protect against electrical shock, do not put the cord, plug or the motor  
assembly in water or other liquid.  
Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Do not blend excessively hot liquids. Never pour boiling water into the  
mixing container.  
Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use.  
To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on cord to  
disconnect.  
Never leave the house while the appliance is on.  
A short cord set is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. The marked  
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the  
electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so  
that it will not drape over the counter top where it can be tripped over or  
pulled by children.  
After running the motor continuously for three minutes, wait at least five  
minutes before running the motor again.  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To  
reduce risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the appliance  
plug in any way.

OPERATION  
Smoothie Freeze
Control Buttons  
PULSE gives short bursts of power at high speed.  
Use PULSE to begin the mixing of ice and other hard  
ingredients.  
LOW/DISPENSE runs the unit at low speed. This speed  
should be used for the initial 30 seconds of mixing as well  
as for dispensing.  
HIGH runs the unit at high speed. This speed should be  
used for the final stages of mixing. Do not use this speed  
for dispensing.  
OFF turns off the machine.  
The Smoothie Freeze
mixing container is conveniently marked to create perfect  
smoothies. To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow these simple steps:  
ADD LIQUIDS  
Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS mark under SERVES  
3. 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® smoothie mixes, which quickly  
and easily make three delicious 8-ounce smoothies.  
ADD ICE  
Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the FROZEN  
INGREDIENTS line on the side of the mixing container. Frozen ingredients include  
ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.  
SMOOTH IT  
With the lid on and the stir stick set in the hole on the lid, pulse the mixture 2 or 3  
times by pressing the PULSE button. Then move the switch to HIGH and wait until  
the ingredients are completely mixed. Turn the stir stick counter-clockwise for best  
mixing results.  
SERVE IT  
To serve the smoothie, press the switch to LOW/DISPENSE, place a cup under  
the valve and press down the valve lever. Stir the contents in the mixing container  
with the stir stick while dispensing thick smoothies. As the smoothie level reaches  
the bottom of the mixing container, a thick mix may stop dispensing. Add a few  
tablespoons of liquid to increase flow. When the mixing container is empty, turn the  
machine OFF and enjoy.

OPERATION / CLEANING  
You can continue making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the  
smoothie maker a 5 minute break after 3 minutes of continuous use.  
THICKER SMOOTHIE  
To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.  
THINNER SMOOTHIE  
To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.  
CARE & CLEANING  
Before using the first time and after each use, be sure to thoroughly wash the  
mixing container, blade assembly, rubber gasket, valve, lid and stir stick. To prolong  
the life of your smoothie maker do not wash parts in the dishwasher. Unscrew  
and disassemble the valve for cleaning (see below). Also, remove blade assembly  
from the mixing container and rubber gasket for cleaning; turn it clockwise to  
remove.  
CLEANING THE DISPENSING VALVE (see below)  
To disassemble dispensing valve for cleaning:  
1. Remove the valve from the container by unscrewing the entire valve counter-  
clockwise.  
2. Remove the cap from the valve body by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.  
3. Squeeze cap and stopper together and slide the lever off the stopper pin.  
4. Remove the spring.  
5. Remove the stopper and stopper pin by pulling the rubber rim of the stopper.  
The stopper and pin are tightly fit and need not be separated.  
6. Clean all parts in warm soapy water, allow to dry thoroughly and reassemble in  
the order shown.
