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 differ due to program revisions or due
to the difference of recipes, your results may also vary.
BUTTON 1: G eneral Purpose / Smoothie – blends smoothies and thin drinks
consisting of juice and ice to a creamy consistency. (:18)
BUTTON 2: D ouble Smoothie – blends similar drinks to that of button 1 but
at larger volumes. (:18)

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. P lug 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.)
