IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse

cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance
malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see
warranty page.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may
cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use.
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one,
ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or
greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the
edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

• 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.

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.

• Avoid contact with moving parts.

• Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils out of the

container to prevent personal injury or damage to the mixer.

2

• Never add ingredients to the container while the appliance is operating.

• Container must be properly in place before operating the appliance.

• For household use only.

EFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Many
accessory parts are contained within the packaging material.

See “Cleaning your Milk Shake Maker” section of this manual.

U

SING YOUR MILK SHAKE MAKER

1. Tilt the mixing head back and insert the mixing wand. The wand is properly
inserted when you feel it “snap” into place. You may have to turn the wand to fit
the wand completely into the mixing head. Return the mixing head to the upright
position.

2. Set the control switch to “ O ” and plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC outlet ONLY.

3. Place ingredients to be mixed into the blending cup. Ensure that the ingredients
do not exceed the “MAX” (14oz./ 414mL) indicator line.

4. For hands-free mixing, attach the blending cup on to the Milk Shake Maker. The
cup should be completely under the cup support and sitting on the cup rest.

3

5. Begin mixing at low speed, “ l ”. If desired, high
speed “ ll ” can be used for the final stage of
mixing.

6. While mixing, the cup can be removed from the
support and moved around to achieve more
thorough blending. You may find it easier to tilt
and hold the mixing head while blending. Make
sure the mixing wand is always immersed while
in use.

7. When mixing is complete, set the control switch to “ O ”. Remove the mixing cup
and pour the mixture into desired serving container.

• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon use due to the

release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during use – this is

normal.

H

ELPFUL HINTS

The Milk Shake Maker can also be used to mix thin batters and eggs.
Do not use whole fruits when mixing. Mashed or pureed fruits work best in the Milk

Shake Maker.
Always add any syrups or powders last to prevent them sinking to the bottom of the

blending cup.
For best results, ensure that all ingredients are as cold as possible before mixing.

Drinks made with ice cold milk will mix thicker and frothier than if warmer milk is
used.

This appliance cannot crush ice. If you wish to make a drink with ice, use ice that has
already been crushed.

C

LEANING YOUR MILK SHAKE MAKER

1. With the control switch set to “ O ”, unplug the appliance from the outlet.

2. Tilt the mixing head back and remove the mixing wand by gently pulling it out of
the mixing head.

3. Wash the mixing wand and cup in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher.

4.

If needed, wipe the mixing head with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners, or damage may occur to the appliance. Do not immerse the mixing
head in water or any other liquid.
