GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions for using the Pre-Set Program Buttons
The following is the basic settings of the six Pre-Set 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 dier due to program revisions or due
to the dierence of 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 that of button 1 but
at larger volumes. (:18)
BUTTON 3: Frozen Coee and Juices – blends light coee 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)
Blending Tips
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.
2. As a general rule, compared to other blenders, you do not need as much
ice to make an equally frozen drink in The Quiet One®. If your recipe
freezes up, try reducing the amount of ice.
3. 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.
4. Always use a lid that is securely attached when blending.
5. Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged). Press the
On/Off switch to on. Select desired programmed setting by pressing
any of the Pre-Set buttons 1 through 6. The machine will immediately
begin to cycle through the selected program and turn off when the
program is complete. (NOTE: Each button has a different pre-selected
combination of speed and length for blending.)

6. Once one of the six Pre-Set program buttons is pushed, the machine will start and
stop automatically. By pressing another Pre-Set button, the machine will stop the
blending cycle.
7. When the cycle is complete, the blender stops. Wait until blades come to a
complete stop before removing the lid and/or container from the motor base.
8. Remove the container, pour, garnish and serve the drink.
9. Press the On/O power switch to o when not in use.
Maintenance Tips
• Never 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.
• Never shake or rattle a container while in use.
• Never remove the container before the machine has come to a complete stop.
• Never start the motor before the container is in place.
WARNINGS!
•Turn power o or unplug the machine before touching movable parts.
Shut o power switch at night or whenever machine will be left unattended.
• If you detect a change in the sound of the machine or if a hard or foreign object
comes into contact with the blades, do not serve the drink. Inspect your blade
assembly for loose, nicked or missing parts. If parts are loose, missing, or nicked,
replace with new blade assembly. (See page 17.)
IMPORTANT NOTES!
•Check your blades daily for loose, nicked or missing parts. If you find something
is loose, nicked or missing, replace the blade assembly before use (see page 17).
Do not tighten hex-headed screw (on top of blade assembly). If loose, replace
blade assembly immediately.
•The instructions appearing in this Use and Care Manual cannot cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must
be practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance.
• On all units, the built-in thermal protector keeps track of how hot the motor gets
and will warn the user and eventually shut down the motor if the motor is overheating.
When overheated, the display will instruct the user to remove the container and
run the machine until cool. This takes about two minutes. See page 23, “Cooling the
Motor,” for complete instructions. When the thermal protector shuts the motor o,
review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes may be too
thick or have too much material in them. Consider adding more liquid and consult
Vitamix® Customer Service or your local Vitamix Distributor for further assistance.
