INTRODUCTION

BLENDER SOLUTION™ 4000

Congratulations! We hope you enjoy your new back to basics® Blender Solution™ 4000. The Blender Solution™ is designed for endless blending and chopping possibilities and easy clean-up capabilities. The Blender Solution™ has been designed with three speeds (low, medium, high + pulse operation) that let you puree, blend, mix, chop and liquidity your favorite fresh ingredients to make gourmet soups, homemade salsas, icy cocktails, thick and delicious frozen smoothies and shakes, baby food and more.

The Blender Solution ^™ is two appliances combined into one.

Use the Blender Attachment to make gourmet soups, to smoothly blend creamy salad dressings, to puree baby food, salsa or to mix batters for homemade multigrain pancakes and waffles.
Use the Smoothie Maker Attachment to quickly and easily blend and dispense perfect fruit smoothies, icy cocktails, frozen coffee and thick shakes.

The powerful 430-watt/500-watt pulse power motor, specially-designed stainless steel blades and 3-speed operation work together to precisely blend and chop all types of ingredients for exact recipe specifications. The smoothie maker blade base has been specifically designed with heavy stainless steel blades to easily crush ice and frozen fruit. The blender blade base also can be used to make smoothies and other frozen drinks. Both are built to accommodate the revolutionary stir stick, which when rotated counter-clockwise, increases blending efficiency. The 48-ounce glass mixing jar has a spill-proof pour spout and dishwasher-safe.

Enjoy

The Blender Solution™ 4000 mixing jar is conveniently marked to create perfect smoothies for two or four servings. To make a frozen blend of your favorite healthy foods, follow these simple steps:

Assemble the smoothie maker blade base (with dispensing valve) onto the glass mixing jar and place the stir stick through the hole in the center of the lid of the glass mixing jar.
Add Liquids: Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the LIQUIDS mark. Liquids include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements or yogurt in any combination that 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.

OPERATION

Smooth It: With the lid on and the stir stick set in the hole in the center of the lid, press and release the PULSE button 3 to 5 times to get things started. Next, press the LOW button and run the machine at LOW for about 30 seconds. Finally, push the HIGH button. Continue until smooth. Turn the stir stick counter-clockwise for best mixing results.
Serve it: To serve the smoothie, push the LOW button, hold a cup under the valve, and with the motor running, press down on the dispensing valve. Stir the smoothie with the stir stick while dispensing thick smoothies. As the smoothie level reaches the bottom of the glass mixing jar, a thick mix may stop dispensing. Add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase flow. When the glass mixing jar is empty, shut off the machine. Enjoy!
You can continue making smoothies one after another. When you are finished, be sure to wash thoroughly the glass mixing jar, dispensing valve, lid and stir stick. See care and cleaning on page 12.

OPERATION

Thicker Smoothies: To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.
Thinner Smoothies: To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.
Always add liquid ingredients to the glass mixing jar fi rst and then add remaining ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the motor and ensure that the ingredients are properly blended
Cut harder foods (e.g. cheese) into approximately 1 inch cubes to achieve better chopping results.
The stir stick may be used to assist in making frozen drinks or for blending any other types of ingredients. When the stir stick is not being used, be sure to place the clear lid cover over the hole in the center of the lid.
When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure that the glass mixing jar and blade base are completely dry
The PULSE button should be operated in short bursts. As the PULSE button is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating between pulses
Do not attempt to mix or knead heavy dough, mash potatoes or beat egg whites.
Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or chopped in seconds. Do not operate motor base for longer than 3 minutes at a time
If the motor stalls, turn off and unplug the unit. Remove a portion of the ingredients before attempting to continue
• Do not add boiling liquids to the glass mixing jar
