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:

instructions in this manual.
•To protect against electrical shock, do not put the cord, plug or the motor
assembly in water or other liquid.
•Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
•Unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning.
•Avoid contact with 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, including canning jars, not recommended or
sold by Focus Electrics may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
•Do not use outdoors.
•Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
•Do not let the cord come into contact with hot surfaces, including a stove.
•Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.
•Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
•Turn off the machine before removing the blending jar from the base and before
placing the blending jar on the base.
•Do not run motor without blending jar properly attached to motor base or when

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.
•Be sure to turn switch to “OFF” position after each use.
•To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on cord to
disconnect.
•Never leave the house while the appliance is on.
•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.
•After running the motor continuously 90 seconds, wait at least three minutes
before running the motor again.
•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.
•To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without
blending jar properly attached.
•For household use only.

ASSEMBLING YOUR SMOOTHIE MAKER
Before assembling your smoothie maker, wash all parts, except for the motor base
in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. Unscrew and disassemble the valve
for cleaning (see Cleaning Your Smoothie Maker section). To prolong the life of your
smoothie maker, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
1. Position the rubber gasket down onto the circular flat surface in the blade base.
2. Screw the blade base on the bottom of the blending jar by turning 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.
3. Place the lid onto the top of the blending jar. The lip on the lid should line up
with the pour spout on the container. Place the 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.
4. Place the blending jar onto the motor base so the bottom of the blade base is
sitting flat on the motor base.
5. Plug in the cord.
6. Your smoothie maker is now ready to use.

USING YOUR SMOOTHIE MAKER
CONTROL BUTTONS:
“OFF” – Turns the appliance off.
“LO” - runs the appliance at low speed. This speed should
be used for the initial 30 seconds of mixing.
“HI” – Runs the appliance at high speed. This speed should
be used for the final stages of mixing.
“PULSE” - gives short bursts of power at high speed. Use
“PULSE” to begin the mixing of ice and other hard ingredients.
Note: The dispensing speed “LO”, automatically engages when the auto-powered
dispensing button is pushed.
The AutoServe™ II blending jar is conveniently marked to create perfect smoothies.
To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow the steps below.
1. ADD LIQUIDS – Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the “LIQUIDS”
mark under “SERVES 2” or “SERVES 4” located on the blending jar. Liquids
include any soft ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements, or
yogurt.
2. ADD ICE – Add ice or frozen ingredients until the total level reaches the
“FROZEN INGREDIENTS” line on the side of the blending jar. Frozen
ingredients include ice, frozen fruit, frozen yogurt, ice cream, etc.
3. SMOOTH IT – With the lid locked in place and the stir stick
(use as directed below) set in the hole in the lid, pulse the
mixture 2 or 3 times by pressing the “PULSE” button. Next,
push the “LO” button and mix for 20-30 seconds. Push the
“HI” button for the final 10-15 seconds of mixing.
STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the
appliance 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 smoothie, simply press your glass against the auto-
powered dispensing button on the motor base. This automatically runs the
motor at a low speed and dispenses smoothies and other blended drinks into
your glass. When your desired serving size is reached, remove your glass from
under the valve. This releases the dispensing button and the appliance will
automatically turn off. Stir the contents in the blending jar with the stir stick
while dispensing thick smoothies. As the smoothie 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 appliance “OFF”
and enjoy.
You can continue making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the
smoothie maker a 3 minute break after 90 seconds of continuous use.
•Boost the dispensing speed by depressing the “PULSE” button while pressing
your glass against the dispensing lever. This will override the dispensing speed
and increase the flow of smoothie through the valve. When your desired level is
reached, remove your finger from the “PULSE” button and your glass from
under the valve.
•To make a thicker drink, add more frozen ingredients.
•To make a thinner drink, add more liquid ingredients.
CLEANING YOUR SMOOTHIE MAKER
1. Switch to “OFF” and unplug from electrical outlet.
2. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots,
use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.
3. Remove the blade base assembly and rubber gasket from the blending jar.
Unscrew and disassemble the dispensing valve. Carefully wash all parts except
the 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 DISPENSING VALVE
1. Remove the dispensing valve from the blending jar by unscrewing the entire
valve counter-clockwise.
2. Remove the cap from the valve body by lifting the lever upwards from the back
of the valve body to a position above the cap. Then unscrew the cap by rotating
it counter-clockwise.
3. Squeeze the 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 off the stopper.
The stopper and pin are tightly fit and need not be separated.
6. Clean all parts in warm, soapy water, allow to dry thoroughly and reassemble in
the order shown.
