BarBoss® Advance® & Drink Machine Advance®
Pre-Set Programs
The following are settings of the six Pre-Set Programs for the BarBoss Advance
and Drink Machine 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 six 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.
SETTING 1: (:15) Blends thin drinks with just juice and ice.
SETTING 2: (:18) Blends light coffee drinks.
SETTING 3: (:21) Creates a specialty drink with a thick viscosity.
SETTING 4: (:24) Creates ice cream and regular coffee drinks that
need a little longer blending.
SETTING 5: (:27) Blends a regular smoothie.
SETTING 6: (:30) Blends thick frozen fruits & hard ingredients
for a thick but consistent smoothie.

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. 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 On/Off switch to on.
Activate a program by selecting the desired setting on the dial and then depressing
the Start/Stop switch on the left.
• If mixture stops circulating, you have likely trapped an air bubble.
Either insert the accelerator tool (sold separately, see page 21) through
the lid while blending, or stop the motor, remove the container from the
base and stir or scrape the mixture from the sides of container into the
center using a rubber spatula to press any air bubbles away from the blades.
Replace the lid and continue blending.

• To prevent possible splashing, lightly rest your hand on the lid while
turning the machine on (except when processing hot liquids).
• Due to the blending speed of the machine, processing times are greatly
reduced over other manufacturers' machines. Until you become accustomed to
the speed, watch your mixture carefully to avoid over-blending.
• If stopping the machine mid-cycle, use the Start/Stop switch, not the
On/Off switch. If the On/Off switch was used, wait 30 seconds for
power to recycle and the timer to reset before resuming operation.
5. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop before removing the lid or container from the motor base.
6. To use the pulse switch to refresh drinks: Make sure the power is on.
With the container on the motor base, depress the pulse switch.
Release the switch to stop the motor.
7. Press the On/Off Switch to Off when not in use.
WARNINGS!
• When the machine is not in use, unplug the machine from the outlet.
• 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 contents. Inspect your
blade assembly for loose, nicked or missing parts. If parts are loose, missing,
or nicked, replace with a new blade assembly. (See page 12.)
