Advance Instructions Using
the PRE-SET Program Buttons
The following is the basic Advance setting of the six PRE-SET buttons for the Blending Station
Advance machines. These programs, numbered 1 through 6, are blending cycles designed for the
most commonly made drinks. Depending on the viscosity of the drink you are creating, selecting
one of the PRE-SET programs will run the machine for a full cycle. The machine will stop by itself
when the cycle is complete. A cycle varies in speed and length. Your machine’s PRE-SET options
may differ due to program revisions or if your machine was programmed specifically for your
business. Due to the difference of recipes, your results may also vary.
Button 1:
(:13)
Blends thin drinks with just juice and ice. Button 1 will ramp the blending speed
to high (87%) for 13 seconds.
Button 2:
(:18)
Blends light coffee drinks. Button 2 will ramp the blending speed to high for
18 seconds.
Button 3:
(:20)
Creates a specialty drink with a thick viscosity. Button 3 will ramp the blending
speed to high for 20 seconds.
Button 4:
(:15)
This cycle is good for ice cream and regular coffee drinks. Button 4 increases to
medium speed for 5 seconds and then ramps up slowly to high for 10 seconds.
Button 5:
(:20)
Blend a regular smoothie on high. Button 5 increases to medium speed for 10
seconds and then ramps up slowly to high for 10 seconds.
Button 6:
(:25)
Blend thick frozen fruits & hard ingredients for a thick but consistent smoothie.
Button 6 increases to medium speed for 10 seconds and then ramps up slowly to high for 15
seconds.

1. Place liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not
necessary for processing, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more
precise measuring of ingredients. Thawed or partially thawed fruit is recommended. High
speed is recommended 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 your machine with the
container empty.
3. Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be securely latched
in place.
When processing hot liquids, DO NOT use a non-latching or one-piece lid.
4. Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged). Press the ON/OFF switch to ON.
Select desired programmed setting by pressing any of the PRE-SET buttons 1 through 6.
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.
5. Once one of the six PRE-SET program buttons is pushed, the machine will start and stop
automatically. By pressing another PRE-SET button or the START/STOP 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 can be decreased down to 7%. Once
released, the motor speed will revert back to the blending cycle of the PRE-SET PROGRAM.
7. When the cycle is complete, the blender stops. Wait until blade comes to a
complete stop before removing the lid and/or container from the motor base.
8. Remove the container, pour, garnish and serve the drink.
9. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF when not in use.

Advance Instructions Using the
START/STOP and SPEED CONTROL Buttons
Although using the PRE-SET PROGRAM buttons is highly recommended for the best drink,
occasionally a drink may need special attention. By using the START/STOP button and the
SPEED CONTROL button, you can manually control the speed of the Blending Station Advance.
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 of “Blending Station
®
Advance Instructions Using the PRE-SET
PROGRAM Buttons” section on page 16.
WARNINGS!
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, nicked or missing
parts. If parts are loose, missing, or nicked, replace with new blade assembly. (See page 19.)
When your machine is not in use, turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF, or unplug the machine from
the outlet.
