HOW TO USE YOUR DRINK MIXER
1. Place the Drink Mixer on a dry and level surface.
2. Be sure the two speed switch (2) is in the “OFF” (0) position.
3. Add your ingredients to the mixing cup (7). Do not fill the cup beyond the “MAX” fill level.
4. Hold the Drink Mixer with one hand by the stand (3). Grasp the motor housing (8) and keep it in the “down”
position. Place the mixing cup onto the unit ensuring the top of the cup is behind the top of the cup support (A)
and the bottom of the cup is resting on the bottom cup support (B). The motor housing must be in the down
position to insert the cup and for operation.
5. Plug in the unit and switch to the desired speed setting by turning the speed selector (2) to I or II. You may also
use the pulse button (1) for intermittent mixing.
6. When the drink is completely mixed, turn the speed selector back to (0) - the middle position - to stop the unit.
7. Remove the mixing cup by lifting the cup upwards slightly to release from the bottom cup support then by lifting
out of the top cup support. To remove the mixing wand, pull the motor housing forward slightly; it will move in
two small steps. When it is fully extended forward, hold the wand with one hand and turn the coupling
clockwise. This will release the wand for cleaning.
8. Due to the power of the mixer, keep one hand on the stand while operating.
9. Maximum Operation Time: Do not use the mixer continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. After
continuous use for more than 1 minute, unplug the mixer and let it rest for 5 minutes before using again. Note:
The Workout Drink Mixer & Smoothie Maker does its work in seconds due to the twin aeration discs. You
should NEVER NEED to mix any drink for more than 1 minute, and usually less.
MIXING TIPS
? The mixing cup should not be filled beyond the MAX fill level. The level of the mixture will rise when blending
and can splash or overflow the cup. If you are mixing large amounts, separate into smaller batches.
? Do not immerse the motor unit in liquid or water.
? Do not put fruit pits, bones or other hard ingredients into the mixture, as these are liable to damage the blades.
? When recipes call for ice, use crushed ice, not cubed ice. The mixer will not crush ice. Putting large solid objects
like cubed ice may damage the mixer.
? When using foods, such as fruit, the volume of your workout drink will increase. You can increase the volume
further by chilling the ingredients.
? It is easier to attach and remove the mixing cup if you tilt the motor housing up slightly and then down again for
operation.
? The mixing cup activates the safety switch. That is why the motor will only run if the mixing cup is in the
proper position.
? Always unplug the unit before removing the mixing wand.
? Low Fat Milk will froth up best.
? Add sugar free syrups, sugar substitutes and other thicker ingredients just before mixing to prevent them from
sinking to the bottom.
? The Drink Mixer is not a slicer; pieces of fruit will not be finely chopped by the mixer. If using fresh fruit you
should slice or dice it into fine pieces before adding to your mixture.
? A mixing time of one minute or less is usually sufficient for most mixtures. You may have to experiment before
you find just the right mixing time for each recipe.
? If the motor stops or you hear it running more slowly, switch off the drink mixer immediately, unplug it and
remove the cup. Use a spatula or long handled spoon to check that ingredients are mixing smoothly.
BEFORE FIRST USE
? Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance. This appliance is for a
120 –Volt AC electrical outlet only.
? Remove any bags, labels or stickers from the appliance and mixing cup/jug.
? Clean the motor unit with a damp soft cloth
? Wash all of the removable parts – drink container, mixing wand and blade coupling using a sponge, warm water
and mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry carefully. To remove the mixing wand, hold the wand firmly and turn the
wand coupling counter-clockwise. When the coupling is loose, pull the wand down and out.
? NOTE: do not immerse the motor unit in water when cleaning.
