Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded through the building wiring.

General Instructions

Instructions for Using the Pre-Set Program Buttons

The following are the basic settings of the six preset buttons for The Quiet One®. These programs, numbered 1 through 6, are blending cycles designed for the most commonly made drinks. Depending on the viscosity of the drink you are creating, selecting one of the Pre-Set programs will run the machine for a full cycle. The machine will stop by itself when the cycle is complete. A cycle varies in speed and length. Your machine’s Pre-Set options may differ due to program revisions or due to the difference in recipes; your results may also vary.

BUTTON 1: General Purpose / Smoothie – blends smoothies and thin drinks consisting of juice and ice to a creamy consistency. (:18)
BUTTON 2: Double Smoothie – blends similar drinks to those of button 1 but at larger volumes. (:18)
BUTTON 3: Frozen Coffee and Juices – blends light coffee drinks to a creamy consistency. (:18)
BUTTON 4: Ice Cream Drinks – blends drinks containing hard ice cream to a thick shake consistency. (:28)
BUTTON 5: Double and hard-to-blend ice cream drinks. (:20)
BUTTON 6: Thick Hard-to-blend Smoothie – blends thick frozen fruit & hard ingredients for a thick but consistent smoothie. (:28)

Maintenance Tips

Twist Lock Compact Cover Removal

Note: The twist lock cover is designed to be removed without the use of tools. DO NOT force the cover to rotate with tools or other objects. To avoid damaging the cover, apply pressure to the cover frame, not the clear plastic material.

To remove the cover, pressure will be applied at two points to disengage the cover from the locking tabs on the motor plate. To remove the twist lock sound enclosure:

Remove the compact cover door to prevent it from closing unexpectedly. Lift the handle to open the cover. Gently spread the sides of the door over the round hinges and remove.
Lift up on the front of the centering pad and peel away from the motor base. Lift it up and over the drive socket to remove. (See Figure A).
Grasp the bottom frame of the cover with two hands as shown in (See Figure B). With equal pressure and in one motion, use the index finger of your left hand to apply pressure at the back of the cover frame while at the same time apply pressure with your right thumb to unlock and twist the cover away from the center in a counter-clockwise direction (See Figure C).
If necessary, continue applying pressure at these two points until the cover is free and can be separated from the motor base (See Figure D).
Once disengaged, lift the cover up and away from the blender base (See Figure D).

Note: See Figure E for an example of the motor base with the twist lock compact cover removed.
