IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Keep hands and utensils out of container to reduce the risk of  
injury to persons or damage to the mixer.  
Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use.

Container must be properly in place before operating appliance.  
The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by  
Back to Basics may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.  
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a  
heated oven.  
Turn off machine before removing the mixing container from the

into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully  
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a  
qualified electrician. Do not modify the appliance plug in  
any way.

OPERATION  
Smoothie Classic
Control Switches  
OFF shuts off the  
machine.  
HIGH runs the unit at high speed.  
This speed should be used for the  
final stages of mixing. Do not use this  
speed for dispensing.  
PULSE begins  
the mixing of ice  
and other hard  
ingredients  
LOW runs the unit at low speed. This  
speed should be used for the initial  
30 seconds of mixing as well as for  
dispensing.  
The Smoothie Classic
mixing container is conveniently marked to create perfect  
smoothies. To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow these simple steps:  
ADD LIQUIDS  
Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS mark under SERVES  
2 or SERVES 4. Liquids include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice,  
herbal supplements or yogurt in any combination you think would be tasty.  
We are, of course, partial to the Back to Basics® smoothie mixes, which quickly  
and easily make three delicious 8-ounce smoothies.  
ADD ICE  
Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the FROZEN  
INGREDIENTS line on the side of the mixing container. Frozen ingredients include  
ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.  
SMOOTH IT  
With the lid on and the stir stick set in the hole on the lid, pulse the mixture 2 or 3  
times by turning the switch to PULSE. Then move the left switch to ON and then  
move the right switch to HIGH and wait until the ingredients are completely mixed  
Turn the stir stick counter-clockwise for best mixing results.  
8
OPERATION  
SERVE IT  
To serve the smoothie, move the right switch to LOW, place a cup under the valve  
and press down the valve lever. Stir the contents in the mixing container with  
the stir stick while dispensing thick smoothies. As the smoothie level reaches  
the bottom of the mixing container, a thick mix may stop dispensing. Add a few  
tablespoons of liquid to increase flow. When the mixing container is empty, turn the  
machine OFF and enjoy.  
You can continue making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the  
smoothie maker a 5 minute break after 3 minutes of continuous use.  
THICKER SMOOTHIE  
To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.  
THINNER SMOOTHIE  
To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.
