BarBoss®Advance & Drink Machine Advance
Instructions
The following is the basic XP setting of the six PRE-SET programs for the BarBoss Advance and
Drink Machine Advance machines. 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 six 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 if your machine was programmed
specifically for your business. Due to the difference of recipes, your results may also vary.
Each program has a slow start with a three-stage ramping process.
Setting 1: (:15) Blen s thin rinks with just juice an ice.
Setting 2: (:18) Blen s light coffee rinks.
Setting 3: (:21) Creates a specialty rink with a thick viscosity.
Setting 4: (:24) Creates ice cream an regular coffee rinks that nee a little longer blen ing.
Setting 5: (:27) Blen s a regular smoothie.
Setting 6: (:30) Blen s thick frozen fruits & har ingre ients for a thick but consistent smoothie.
1. Place liquids and soft foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not
necessary for processing, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more
precise measuring of ingredients. Thawed or partially thawed fruit is recommended. High
speed is recommended for heavy-duty blending.
2. Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad anchored to
the base.
(Motor must be completely stopped before positioning container.)
Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials. Avoid running your machine with the
container empty.
3. Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be securely latched
in place.
When processing hot liquids, DO OT use a non-latching or one-piece lid.
4. Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged). Press ON/OFF switch to ON.Activate
a program by selecting the desired setting on the dial and then depressing the START/STOP
switch on the left.
WARNINGS!
Warning: If you etect a change in the soun of the machine or if a har or foreign object comes
into contact with the bla es, o not serve the rink. Inspect your bla e assembly for loose, nicke
or missing parts. If parts are loose, missing, or nicke , replace with new bla e assembly.
(See page 8.)
Warning: When your machine is not in use, turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF, or unplug the machine
from the outlet.

4a. If mixture stops circulating, you have likely trapped an air bubble. Either insert the
accelerator tool (sold separately, see page 12) through the lid while blending, or stop
the motor, remove the container from the base and stir or scrape the mixture from the
sides of container into the center using a rubber spatula to press any air bubbles away
from the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
4b. To prevent possible splashing, lightly rest your hand on the lid while turning the
machine on (except when processing hot liquids).
4c. Due to the blending speed of the machine, processing times are greatly reduced over
other manufacturers’ machines. Until you become accustomed to the speed, watch your
mixture carefully to avoid over-blending.
4d. If stopping the machine mid-cycle, use the START/STOP switch, not the ON/OFF switch.
If the ON/OFF switch was used, wait 30 seconds for power to recycle and the timer to
reset before resuming operation.
5. After the blender has been stopped, wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
removing the lid or container from the motor base.
6.
To use the PULSE Switch to refresh drinks: Make sure the power is ON.With the container
on the motor base, depress the PULSE switch. Release the switch to stop the motor.
7. Press the ON/OFF Switch to OFF when not in use.
Maintenance Tips:
• ever bang the container against a surface to loosen the ingredients. Remove the
container from the base and use a rubber spatula to remove thick mixtures from the
bottom of your container.
•
ever shake or rattle a container while in use.
• ever remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
• ever start the motor before the container is in place.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
START/STOP : The START/STOP switch on your machine is lit when power is ON. Avoi moveable
parts. The machine may stop working if it is overloa e on low spee . Reset the machine by turning
power off for 30 secon s.
THERMAL PROTECTOR: The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it from
overheating. To restart, wait for motor to cool own with the power off (up to 45 minutes). Cooling
may be quickene by placing the motor base in a cool spot. (Unplug first.) To spee up the process,
try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aime at the bottom of the base. When the thermal
protector shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques an your instructions. Your recipes
may be too thick or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but the
thermal overloa protector has not turne the machine off, stop the machine an remove the
container from the base. Turn the machine ON an let the machine run for 20 secon s. Repeat this
step 3 times for a total of 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.

8
Blade Agitator Assembly. The blade assembly includes
a precision-hardened stainless steel blade with enclosed
steel ball bearings for maximum durability. The rugged
blade assembly literally explodes molecules of food and
ice in the container, helping every batch to homogenize
more effectively. The blade does not need to be removed
for normal cleaning. (Refer to the information below to
remove or replace.)
Drive Spline. Mates with drive socket on the motor base
to turn the blade.
ote: Removing and replacing your
container while the coupling is still rotating will strip the
drive spline “teeth.” (This part is NOT removable.)
Retainer ut. Must be snug. Order the available
Retainer Nut Wrench for best results. (Refer to the
information below to remove or replace.)
At times, it may be necessary to give your blades
additional cleaning. An easy-to-use blade assembly
removal wrench (Item #15596) may be purchased
through your Vita-Mix Distributor.
Turn the container upside down and grip firmly. Insert
retainer nut wrench in groove of retainer nut and rotate
counterclockwise to loosen. Then grip blades with a cloth
and remove retainer nut by hand.
Replacing Blade Assembly
With the container upside down, grip blades with cloth,
insert into the container bottom and align with flat sides
of container opening. Place retainer nut on and hand
tighten. Last, carefully turn clockwise until secure, using
wrench.
Do not force. If it is not tight enough, you will
notice increased container noise.
