How to operate your Blending Station ® MP using
the six Pre-Set Programmed Buttons.
The following is the basic MP settings of the six PRE-SET buttons (your machine’s
PRE-SET buttons may differ due to program revisions or if your Blending Station
MP was programmed specifically for your business).
• Button 1: (:13) Blends thin drinks with just juice and ice. Button 1 will ramp the
blending speed to medium high for 13 seconds.
• Button 2: (:18) Blends light coffee drinks. Button 2 will ramp the blending speed
to high for 18 seconds.
• Button 3: (:20) Creates a specialty drink with a thick viscosity. Button 3
will ramp the blending speed to high for 20 seconds.
• Button 4: (:15) This cycle is good for ice cream and regular coffee drinks.
Button 4 increases to medium speed for 5 seconds and then ramps up slowly to
high for 10 seconds.
• Button 5: (:20) Blend a regular smoothie on high. Button 5 increases to
medium speed for 10 seconds and then ramps up slowly to high for 10 seconds.
• Button 6: (:25) Blend thick frozen fruits & hard ingredients for a thick but
consistent smoothie. Button 6 increases to medium speed for 10 seconds and
then ramps up slowly to high for 15 seconds.
1. Place liquids and soft foods in the machine’s container first, solid items and ice
last. Prepare food by cutting or breaking into 1-3 inch (3-8 cm) pieces. Frozen
fruit, especially, should be as small as practical. Thawed or partially thawed
fruit is recommended. We recommend PROGRAMMED button 5 or 6 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
the Blending Station MP with container empty.
3. Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be
securely in place.
