IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece lid.  
Keep hands and utensils out of container to reduce the risk of  
injury to persons or damage to the mixer.  
Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use.  
Never add ingredients to container while appliance is operating.  
Container must be properly in place before operating appliance.  
The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by  
Back to Basics may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.  
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a  
heated oven.  
Turn off machine before removing the mixing container from the  
base and before placing the mixing container on the base.  
Do not run motor without mixing container properly attached to

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 ProfessionalControl 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 Professionalmixing 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  
2 or SERVES 4. 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 press the button to ON and wait until  
the ingredients are completely mixed. Turn the stir stick counter-clockwise for best  
mixing results.

OPERATION  
SERVE IT  
To serve the smoothie, press the switch to ON, 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.  
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.
