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.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• 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, including canning jars, not recommended or
sold 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.

• After running the motor continuously for three minutes, wait at least five minutes
before running the motor again.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without
blending jar properly attached.
• 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.
Before assembling your Smoothie Swirl™ wash all parts, except for motor base in
warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. Unscrew and disassemble the valve
for cleaning (see Cleaning Your Smoothie Swirl™ section). To prolong the life of your
smoothie maker, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

ONTROL BUTTONS:

“PULSE” - gives short bursts of power at high speed. Use
“PULSE” to begin the mixing of ice and other hard
ingredients.
“ON” - runs the unit continuously. Use this speed for final
stages of mixing and dispensing.
“OFF” - turns off the appliance.
To make your favorite frozen drinks, follow the steps below.
1. ASSEMBLE –
• Position the rubber gasket down onto the circular flat surface in the blade
base.
• Screw blade base on the bottom of the blending jar by twisting 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.
• Push the lid onto the top of the blending jar. Lock the clear 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.
• Place the blending jar onto the motor base so that the bottom of the blade
base is sitting flat on the motor base.
• Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC outlet only.
2. ADD LIQUIDS – Add any combination of liquid ingredients up to the “LIQUIDS”
mark under “SERVES 3” located on the blending jar. Liquids include any soft
ingredients such as fruit, milk, fruit juice, herbal supplements, or yogurt.
3. 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.
4. SMOOTH IT – With the lid on 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. Then press the button to “ON” and wait until
the ingredients are completely mixed. Do not blend for longer
than 3 minutes.
STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the
machine is running, stir or rotate the Stir Stick in a counterclockwise direction so that the Stir Stick scrapes or contacts
the sides of the blending jar. This stirring operation will force
the ingredients into the mixing blades.
5. SERVE IT – To serve the smoothie, press the switch to “ON,”
place a cup under the valve and press down the valve lever.
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 machine “OFF.” You can continue
making smoothies one after another, but be sure to give the smoothie maker a
5-minute break after 3 minutes of continuous use.
•
To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.
•
To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.

LEANING YOUR SMOOTHIE SWIRL

2. Wipe motor base with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a
mild, non-abrasive cleanser.

disassemble the dispensing valve. Carefully wash all parts except for 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.
