B lending Tips 1. If your recipe freezes up, try reducing the amount of ice. Compared to other blenders, you do not need as much ice to make an equally frozen drink in a Touch & GoTM Blending Station.® 2. Place liquids and soft foods in your container first. Hard items and ice should be placed last. 3. Whole, hard or frozen ingredients should be small. Solid frozen fruit is extremely difficult to blend. For best results use semi-frozen fruit.
I nstructions How to operate your Blending Station® using the six Pre-Set Programmed Buttons. The following is the basic factory settings of the six PRE-SET buttons (your machine’s PRESET buttons may differ due to program revisions or if your Blending Station was programmed specifically for your business).* • Button 1: (:15) Blends thin drinks with just juice and ice. This program will quickly ramp to a high blending speed for 15 seconds. • Button 2: (:20) Blends light coffee drinks.
5. Once one of the six PRE-SET PROGRAM buttons is pushed the machine will start and stop automatically. By pressing another PRE-SET BUTTON or the START/STOP button, the machine will stop the blending cycle. 6. During any of the blending cycles, by pressing the PULSE H button the speed of the blending can increase up to 100% of the motor speed. By pressing the PULSE L button during a blending cycle the speed of the motor can be decreased down to 7%.
