Plug into electrical outlet. 3. Place ingredients to be mixed in container. 4. Place container onto drink mixer, making certain that container's top edge is behind container support and container bottom is on container rest. 5. Move Control Switch to desired speed to process. Start with Low Speed then increase to High Speed if desired. 6. For hard ice cream or very thick shakes, remove the container from the rest and support. With mixing shaft still submerged in mixture, move the container around for more thorough mixing. 7. When finished, turn unit to O (OFF) and tilt head up. 8. Pour contents from container and serve. Drink Mixer Tips • Most drinks can be mixed in less than two minutes. • Whole fruit should not be used when making fruit drinks. Mash or puree fruit; add to drink, and mix. • The container must always be filled to at least the minimum level mark or the liquid will not reach mixing shaft. Do not fill above maximum level mark (12 ounces/355 ml) or liquid may overflow while mixing. • For best results, all liquid ingredients should be as cold as possible. Milk drinks will taste best if milk is ice cold. The colder the milk, the thicker and more frothy the drink. • All syrups and powdered mixes should be added just before mixing to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the container. • The drink mixer does not crush ice. For best results, use crushed ice if the recipe calls for ice. 7
