HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only\4.
USING YOUR XL BLAST DRINK \fACHINE 
1.   Make sure your drink machine i\4s OFF.
\b. Place ingredients to be blended into jar. For best results, use ice that has 
been out of the freezer for 1\f-15 minutes. 
Tip: Place ingredients in the following order to get the most out of your blender:
• Liquid • Powders• Soft foods (like bananas or cucumb\4ers)• Hard foods (such as frozen fruit)
• Ice cubes
3. Use the shot glass/measuring cup for convenient 
and accurate recipe measurement. Shot glass is \b 
oz and is marked for 1 oz, 1.5oz and \boz. Check out 
the included recipe book for fun frozen blends and 
cocktails using the sh\4ot glass and auto functions. 
NOTE: The XL Blast Drink Machine ma\4kes a suggested 
6-7 blended drinks (\4about 1\f-1\boz each)
4. Place lid on jar; make sure shot glass is in place. 
Shot glass is secure when it slides a\4ll the way into 
the lid and is twi\4sted clockwise.
5. Plug power cord into outlet. Press on/off button. 
LED should turn a s\4olid color to signify the blend\4er 
is in standby mode. After 6\f seconds the unit will 
automatically power off if no buttons are pressed. 
The LED will blink \4slowly when the blend\4er is in 
use. 
NOTE: When in use, do not leave blender unattended. 
When processing hard foods, such as ice or cheese, 
keep one hand on the \4lid to keep blender in pla\4ce. 
6. Select the speed or\4 auto function that works best 
for your desired outcome. See auto functions and 
speed chart for drink and auto function correlations. 
\fmportant: Do not hold speed but\4ton, simply press 
the desired speed, watch, and press Pulse/Stop when   
						

							5
the desired consistency is achieved. Holding the but\4ton for longer than 3\f 
seconds will cause an \4error. Unit must be unplugged to reset. 
7. For blending tasks –\4 or when blending t\4hick mixtures – use the PULSE\4 
button for several seconds, then release. Repeat until food has desired 
consistency. Releasing pulse stops the blending an\4d the unit returns to 
standby. 
8. Open the lid to add ingredients or add them\4 through the shot glass opening. 
Place shot glass back in lid openi\4ng after adding ingredients. Do not use \4the 
pour spout to add ingredients
\fmportant: Do not remove the lid while th\4e blender is runni\4ng. 
9. When finished press STOP to stop blending. Make sure blades have 
completely stopped before attempting to remove the blending jar\4 from the 
base (refer to troubleshooting for any issues). 
1\f. To remove the jar, grasp the handle and\4 lift up. 
11. Press On/Off to power off. Unit will auto shutoff after 6\f seconds without use. 
1\b.  Always unplug the appli\4ance when not in use. 
TO SERVE 
• Lift and remove the blending jar\4
• Pop open pour tab
• Pour and Enjoy! 
Keep drinks colder longer with t\lhe insulated Chill Sleeve
• Insert the blendin\4g jar into the Chill Sleeve from the top
• Pull up on the Chill\4 Sleeve until it fits sec\4urely around the jar. There are notches for the handle and s\4pout. The measurements on the side \4of the jar 
should be visible t\4hrough the opening.
• Now chill! Enjoy cool drinks for hours. 
• To clean your Chill Sleeve, remove the blender from the sleeve and wash with warm soapy water. Hang to dry. 
TIPS \bOR BEST RESULTS   
•  For a thicker blended drink, \4gradually add more ice and use less liquid ingredients.  
•  For a thinner blende\4d drink, blend for longer and gradually add more liquid mixer  to the jar.
• Cut food and solid ingredients into pieces no larger than ¾” for use in the blend\4er.  
• For best results when making\4 blended cocktails, use ice that has been out of th\4e  freezer between 1\f and 15 minut\4es.
• Use ¾ cup of ice per serving, cru\4shed .
• Do not fill blender m\4ore than \b/3 full with liquid\4s.
• Layer ingredients starting with liqui\4ds on the bottom, followed by fruit and ending  with ice.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the j\4ar or the mixture is very thick,  turn the appliance off. Remove the lid and use \4a rubber spatula to scrape down  the sides of the ja\4r and to redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades.  Replace the lid and continue blending.  
• Serve drinks in chille\4d or frozen glasses to slow down the melting process.  
						

							6
• Start on low/slow speed and work your way up to the highest cycle.
• Blending for too long makes drinks runny and thin.
• When making beverages that include alcohol, please drink r\4esponsibly.
• When making bread, cookie, cereal or cracker crumbs, make sure blending jar is  completely dry.  
• The PULSE function i\4s helpful when shor\4t bursts of power are needed, such  as\4  when preparing thick smooth\4ies or milkshakes. Allow the blades to stop rotating  between pulses. Do not u\4se PULSE for more than 3\f seconds continuously.  
• To stop blending at any time, press the START/STOP button .
