Instructions for using the Pre-Set Programme
Buttons
The following are the basic settings of the six Pre-Set buttons for The Quiet One®.
These programmes, numbered from 1 to 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 programmes will run the machine for a full cycle. The
machine will stop automatically when the cycle is complete. A cycle varies in speed
and length. Your machine’s Pre-Set options may difer due to programme revisions or
due to the diference of recipes, your results may also vary.

Blending Tips
1.
Place liquids and soft foods in the container irst, then solid items and, inally, ice.
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.
2.
As a general rule, compared to other blenders, you do not need as much ice to
make an equally frozen drink in The Quiet One®. If your recipe freezes up, try
reducing the amount of ice.
3.
Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centring pad
anchored to the base.
(The motor must be completely stopped before
positioning the container.)
Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials.
Avoid running your machine with the container empty.
4.
Always use a lid that is securely attached when blending.
5.
Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged). Press the On/Of
switch to on. Select the desired programme setting by pressing any of the
Pre-Set buttons (1 to 6). The machine will immediately begin to cycle through
the selected programme and turn of when the programme is complete.
(NOTE: Each button has a diferent pre-selected combination of speed and
length for blending.)
6.
Once one of the six Pre-Set programme buttons is pushed, the machine will start
and stop automatically. Pressing another Pre-Set button will stop the blending
cycle.
7.
When the cycle is complete, the blender stops.
Wait until the blades come 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/Of power switch to of when not in use.
Maintenance Tips
•
Never bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients.
Remove the
container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove thick mixtures from
the bottom of your container.
•
Never shake or rattle a container while in use.
•
Never remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
•
Never start the motor before the container is in place.
WARNING!
• Turn of the power or unplug the machine before touching movable parts. Shut
of the power switch at night or whenever the machine is left unattended.
• 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
• Check your blades daily for loose, nicked or missing parts. If you ind
something is loose, nicked or missing, replace the blade assembly before use.
Do not tighten the hex bolt (on top of blade assembly). If loose, replace the
blade assembly immediately.
• The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Manual cannot cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution
must be practised when operating and maintaining any appliance.
• On all units, the built-in thermal protector keeps track of how hot the
motor gets and will warn the user and eventually shut of the motor if it is
overheating. When overheated, the display will instruct the user to remove
the container and run the machine until cool. This takes about two minutes.
See ‘Cooling the Motor’ for complete instructions. When the thermal
protector shuts of the motor, review your processing techniques and your
instructions. Your recipes may be too thick or have too much material in
them. Consider adding more liquid and consult Vitamix® Customer Services
or your local Vitamix Distributor for further assistance.
