GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions for using the Pre-Set Program Buttons

The following is the basic settings of the six Pre-Set buttons for The Quiet One®.

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 dier due to program revisions or due

to the dierence of recipes, your results may also vary.

BUTTON 1: General Purpose / Smoothie – blends smoothies and thin drinks

consisting of juice and ice to a creamy consistency. (:18)

BUTTON 2: Double Smoothie – blends similar drinks to that of button 1 but

at larger volumes. (:18)

BUTTON 3: Frozen Coee and Juices – blends light coee drinks to a

creamy consistency. (:18)

BUTTON 4: Ice Cream Drinks – blends drinks containing hard ice cream to

a thick shake consistency. (:28)

BUTTON 5: Double and hard-to-blend ice cream drinks. (:20)

BUTTON 6: Thick Hard-to-blend Smoothie – blends thick frozen fruit & hard

ingredients for a thick but consistent smoothie. (:28)

Blending Tips

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.

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 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.

4. Always use a lid that is securely attached when blending.

5. 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 immediately

begin to cycle through the selected program and turn off when the

program is complete. (NOTE: Each button has a different pre-selected

combination of speed and length for blending.)
