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, including these important safeguards and the care and use

instructions in this manual.

•Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

•The use of accessory attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by

Focus Electrics may cause injuries.

•Do not operate if the appliance is not working properly or if it has been damaged

in any manner. For service information see warranty page.

•Do not leave appliance unattended while plugged into an electrical outlet.

•Keep hands and utensils out of the blending jar while blending to reduce the risk

of severe injury to persons or damage to the appliance. A scraper may be used

but must be used only when the appliance is unplugged and not in operation.

•Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

•For household use only.

To prevent personal injuries, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

•Blades are sharp. Use extreme caution during assembly, while operating,

disassembly and cleaning.

•Do not use if blades are broken, cracked or loose.

•Always operate appliance with lid in place.

•Always hold blending jar while processing for stability.

•Do not leave appliance unattended while it is operating.

•Do not remove blending jar from base until the motor has stopped completely.

•Do not use a cracked, chipped or broken blending jar.

•When blending hot liquids, remove lid cap. For a closed-top container, do not

blend hot liquids.

•Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades or

moveable parts.

•To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly blades on motor base

without blending jar properly attached.

•Do not use this appliance on the stovetop, under broiler, in the oven, or in the

refrigerator or freezer.

To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and

follow all instructions and warnings.

ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS

•To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric

parts in water or other liquids.

•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

•Do not use this appliance outdoors.

•Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless power switch is in OFF position.

•Always turn control to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use,

before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before

cleaning.

•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 by children or tripped over.

•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.

•Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or

extension cord feels hot.

•Do not attempt to use a voltage converter or other device to adapt your appliance

to a different outlet or voltage, as damage will occur.

•Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.

To prevent burns or other personal injuries to children, read and follow all

instructions and warnings.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AROUND CHILDREN

•Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

•Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord

to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.

•The blending jar is designed for use with this appliance only. Do not use the

blending jar provided with this appliance for any other appliance or application.

•Do not place blending jar on hot surface or in a heated oven.

•Use caution when cleaning blending jar with blades assembled. Wipe exterior

with damp cloth, and only rinse interior. If necessary to clean inside of blending

jar, disassemble and clean following the instructions in the assembly and

cleaning sections of this manual.

•Do not use a cracked blending jar or a blending jar having a loose or weakened

cutting blade retainer.

•Do not clean blending jar with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive

materials.

ASSEMBLING YOUR BLENDER

Before assembling your Fitness Blender wash all parts, except for motor base, in

warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. Unscrew and disassemble the valve

for cleaning (see Cleaning Your Blender section). To prolong the life of your

smoothie maker, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

1. Screw blade base on the bottom of the blending jar by twisting the blade base

counter-clockwise until tightened. Make sure that the blade base is tightly

fastened to the blending jar and that the rubber gasket is properly compressed

between the blending jar and the blade base.

2. Press the lid onto the top of the blending jar. Press the clear lid cap in the

center of the lid or place the stir stick through the center of the lid if blending

liquids or frozen drinks.

3. Place the blending jar onto the motor base so that the bottom of the blade base

is sitting flat on the motor base.

4. Plug in the cord. Your blender is now ready to use.

•Note: The rubber gasket on the blade base is not removable.

PULSE function, repeatedly press and release the PULSE button, holding for a few

seconds each time. The PULSE function should be used in the initial stage of

blending ice and frozen ingredients for smoothies and other frozen drinks. The

PULSE function should also be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control

the texture of food when chunkier results are desired.

HIGH – Runs the unit at high speed. Use this speed for the final stages of mixing.

Do not use this speed for dispensing.

MEDIUM – Runs the unit at medium speed. Use this speed for the majority of

blending tasks.

LOW - Runs the unit at low speed. Use this speed for the initial 10 seconds of

mixing as well as for dispensing.

ICE CRUSH: The ICE CRUSH button allows you to crush ice and other frozen

ingredients. In selecting ICE CRUSH, the motor will pulsate to a high speed until the

desired consistency is reached.

SMOOTHIE, ENERGY SUPPLEMENT, POWDERED DRINK, FROZEN DRINK and

WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE: These single-button controls are pre-programmed to mix

your smoothie, energy supplement, powdered drink, frozen drink or weight loss

shake. Each setting is programmed to run at a different speed for specific amounts

of time. The Fitness Blender will automatically shut-off when complete. Just push

the button once and the Fitness Blender does all the work for you.

BLENDER OPERATION

1. Assemble the blade base onto the blending jar.

2. Add ingredients to the blending jar and replace the lid. You may add more

ingredients through the hole in the center of the lid. Note: Add liquid

ingredients first, and then add frozen or solid ingredients. This will prevent

excessive wear on the motor. Cover the hole with the clear lid cover or stir stick

during operation. Note: When using the stir stick, turn the stir stick counter-

clockwise to thoroughly mix the ingredients.

3. From the OFF position, press the desired function.

4. To stop the blending process, press the OFF button.

To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow the steps below.

1. ADD LIQUIDS – Add desired combination of liquid ingredients. 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.

2. ADD ICE – Add desired amount of ice or frozen ingredients. Frozen ingredients

include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.

3. SMOOTH IT – With the lid on and the stir stick (use as

directed below) set in the hole on the lid, pulse the mixture

2 or 3 times by pressing the PULSE button. Then press a

speed or fitness setting and wait until the ingredients are

completely mixed.

STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the

machine is running, stir or rotate the Stir Stick in a

counter-clockwise direction so that the Stir Stick scrapes

or contacts the sides of the blending jar. This stirring

operation will aid in mixing the contents of the blending jar

by forcing the ingredients into the mixing blades.

4. SERVE IT – To serve the drink, press the LOW button,

place a cup under the valve and press down the valve

lever. Stir the contents in the blending jar with the stir stick while dispensing

thick drinks. As the drink level reaches the bottom of the blending jar, a thick

mix may stop dispensing. Add a few tablespoons of liquid to increase flow.

When the blending jar is empty, turn the machine OFF and enjoy. You can

continue making drinks one after another, but be sure to give the Blender a 5-

minute break after 3 minutes of continuous use.

•To make a thicker drink, add more frozen ingredients.

•To make a thinner drink, add more liquid ingredients.

BLENDER OPERATION USING THE 24 oz. TRAVEL MUG

1. Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the 1½ cups line on the

side of the mug. (Frozen ingredients include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice

cream, etc).

2. Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the 2½ cups line on the side of

the mug. (Liquids include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice,

herbal supplements, or yogurt).

3. Place the blade base on the mug and turn counter-clockwise to attach the blade

base to the mug.

4. With the blade base firmly attached to the mug, flip the mug over and place the

mug on the motor base.

5. Press the desired blending function.

6. To stop the blending process, press the OFF button.

7. Remove the mug from the motor base and flip the mug over.

8. Turn the blade base clockwise and remove it from the mug.

9. Screw the mug lid counter-clockwise firmly in place on top of the mug and you

are ready to go.

CLEANING YOUR BLENDER

1. Switch to OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.

2. Wipe motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a

mild, non-abrasive cleanser.

3. Remove blade assembly from the blending jar. Unscrew and disassemble the

dispensing valve. Carefully wash all parts except for motor base in warm, soapy

water, rinse and dry thoroughly. To prolong the life of your smoothie maker, do

not wash parts in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE 24 OZ. TRAVEL MUG

1. Follow directions 1 and 2 from Cleaning Your Blender.

2. Thoroughly wash the mug, lid and blade base. Do not wash parts in the

dishwasher. Note: If the lid or blade base is difficult to remove from the mug,

rinse or soak the mug and the blade base/lid in hot, soapy water, then using a

damp cloth to grip the lid or blade base, unscrew from the mug by turning the lid

or blade base clockwise.

CLEANING THE DISPENSING VALVE

1. Remove the valve from the blending jar by unscrewing the entire valve counter-

clockwise.

2. Remove the cap from the valve body by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.

3. Squeeze cap and stopper together and slide the lever off the stopper pin.

4. Remove the spring.

5. Remove the stopper and stopper pin by pulling the rubber rim of the stopper.

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

HELPFUL HINTS

•Always add liquid ingredients to the blending jar first and then add remaining

ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the motor and ensure that the

ingredients are properly blended.

•Cut harder foods into approximately 1-inch cubes to achieve better 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 using the stir stick turn the stir stick counter-clockwise to thoroughly mix

the ingredients.

•When chopping dry ingredients such as breadcrumbs, nuts, spices, etc., ensure

the blending 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 blending jar as cracking of the blending jar may

occur.
