SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCEEnglish - 2 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following: Read all instructions. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids. Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children. Scalding may occur if the cover is removed during the brewing cycle. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs. Always unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. Avoid contacting moving parts. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or if the appliance is dropped or damaged in any manner. If you experience any problems with your machine, unplug it immediately from the electrical outlet. For service information see warranty page. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Products Group International may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Do not use this appliance outdoors. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. Keep hands and utensils out of container to reduce the risk of injury to persons or damage to the appliance. Never add to container while the appliance is operating. The container must be properly in place before operating the appliance. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.English - 3 To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet. Do not move an appliance containing hot water, tea or other hot liquids. Do not place the mixing container on the motor base while the motor is running. Do not remove the mixing container from the motor base while the motor is running. Always allow the appliance to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

USING YOUR VENTI HOT BEVERAGE MAKER

CONTROL BUTTONS: MIX - Mixes your beverage. Press once for high speed; both selection indicator lights will illuminate. Press twice for low speed; the left selection indicator light will illuminate. Pressing “Mix” will mix only, without heat. “Mix” will operate for 3 cycles of 1 minute with 5 minute rests in between. After 3 cycles, the appliance will turn off. HEAT - Heats and mixes your beverage. “Heat” will mix at high speed for the first 2 minutes, then will switch to low speed for the remaining time. DISPENSE - Mixes your beverage at a high speed, without adding heat, to mix and froth your beverage for serving. The selection indicator lights above “Dispense” and “Mix” will be illuminated. CANCEL - Stops all functions. “Cancel” can be pressed at any point in the cycle to turn the appliance off. The measurements used below produce 72 ounces. Refer to the Ingredients Chart to determine usage for alternate serving sizes.

1. Place mixing container on to the motor base. Make sure

that it is completely seated, as there is a safety switch that will not engage if not fully seated.

2. Pour up to 72 ounces of water or milk into the mixing

container. Note: Do not fill the mixing container past the 72 ounce “Max Fill” line.

3. Add your favorite instant drink mix, using the measurements included on the

packaging or given below. Always use instant drink mixes, this appliance can not brew or steep.

4. Place the cover onto the mixing container, making sure that it covers the pour spout.

5. Plug the Venti Hot Beverage Maker into a 120 volt, AC outlet only.

6. Press the “Heat” button. The selection indicator lights will be illuminated and your

Venti Hot Beverage Maker will begin to mix and heat. When the beverage reaches the “Perfect Temperature,” the appliance will automatically go idle. As the beverage cools down, the appliance will automatically reheat and remix back to the “Perfect Temperature.” The appliance will remain on until (cancel) is pressed. “Cancel” may be used at any time to turn the appliance off. Selecting another setting will change the operation and the selected control button will glow blue. Note: A full 72 ounces may take up to 15 minutes to reach the “Perfect Temperature.”

7. Once the appliance automatically goes idle, place a cup underneath the

dispensing valve and press the “Dispense” button. This setting will mix the beverage while you dispense so that a rich layer of froth is dispensed into your cup along with the hot beverage.

8. Press down on the dispensing valve lever to dispense the hot beverage into your

cup while the motor is mixing the beverage. After dispensing the beverage, press “Heat” if there is still liquid in the mixing container or press the “Cancel” button if less than 1 cup of beverage remains.

9. When the container has less than 1 cup of liquid remaining, or is empty, press the

(cancel) button. Note: The appliance will remain on until you press (cancel).English - 5

LIQUID Milk/Water 16 oz. 32 oz. 48 oz. 64 oz. 72 oz. POWDER MIX with Milk ¼ cup ½ cup ¾ cup 1 cup 1½ cup POWDER MIX with Water ¼ cup ½ cup ¾ cup 1 cup 1½ cup Note: Different instant cocoa, coffee, and tea mixes may vary from the quantities shown in this chart. Use the quantities specified on the packaging of the instant hot drink mix for exact measurements, or adjust to taste.

“PERFECT TEMPERATURE” FEATURE

The Venti Hot Beverage Maker is designed to maintain the “Perfect Temperature.” Once the beverage reaches the “Perfect Temperature,” the motor will stop running and the mixing paddle will stop mixing, but the selection indicator lights will still be lit. The appliance is now idle but still on. As the beverage cools down, the appliance will automatically reheat and remix back to the “Perfect Temperature.” THE APPLIANCE WILL CONTINUE TO CYCLE ON AND OFF UNTIL THE (CANCEL) BUTTON IS PRESSED. The control buttons can be pressed at any time to change the settings. A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal. Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal. HELPFUL HINTS Skim milk and milks with lower fat content are best for creating the most froth. Soy milk is an excellent alternative for people who cannot consume dairy. Because of its low fat content, it provides lots of froth. Cocoa powder does not mix well and has a tendency to settle out. When this happens, the heating plate is insulated from the liquid and the beverage may not get as hot. Be sure to always thoroughly clean the heating plate after beverages are made with cocoa powder. To prevent cocoa powder from settling, we recommend mixing the cocoa powder with a small amount of boiling water and mixing to make a paste before adding to the Venti Hot Beverage Maker. Chocolate syrup can also be used in place of cocoa powder and sugar in most recipes. “Mix” will operate for 3 cycles of 1 minute with 5 minute rests in between. After 3 cycles, the appliance will turn off. “Dispense” will run for 2 minutes if you forget to press “Cancel” when you finish dispensing. After 2 minutes of operating time, the appliance will shut off. If your appliance stops operating, check that it hasn’t just gone idle (lights will be flashing). If you cannot change settings, unplug your appliance and let it cool completely. This should reset your thermostat.English - 6

CLEANING YOUR VENTI HOT BEVERAGE MAKER

The Venti Hot Beverage Maker must be cleaned after every use. Note: Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher and do not immerse the motor base or mixing container in water or any other liquid.

1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Allow the entire appliance to

cool before cleaning.

2. Remove the mixing container from the motor base.

3. Pour out any unused portion of the hot beverage mixture.

4. Add hot water and a couple drops of dish soap to the mixing container. Wash and

rinse. Note: For any difficult to remove build-up, use a nylon scrub pad. To remove build-up around the edge of the mixing container and under the gasket, use the corner of a nylon scrub pad. It may help to let hot, soapy water sit inside the mixing container for a few minutes. Do not immerse the mixing container in water or any other liquid.

5. Separate the cover and cap cover, then remove and disassemble the dispensing

valve as described below. Wash cover, and dispensing valve pieces in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry pieces thoroughly before reassembling.

6. Wipe the exterior of the motor base and mixing container with a soft, damp cloth.

7. Periodically sanitize mixing container and gasket. Place mixing container on the

motor base and add 4 cups of water and ¼ tsp. unscented bleach to the mixing container. Put cover with cap cover on mixing container, and run the appliance through a complete cycle on “Heat.” After cycle, empty mixing container through the dispensing valve and let air dry. Cleaning the Dispensing Valve To disassemble the valve for cleaning:

1. Remove the valve from the container by unscrewing the entire valve body

2. Remove the cap by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.

3. Remove the stopper/stopper pin, spring, cap, and lever from the valve body.

Note: The stopper pin and rubber stopper are tightly fit and need not be separated.
