HOW TO OPERATE

Before first use, remove all packaging materials and detach Blending Chamber from

Base by sliding the three UNLOCK/LOCK switches to the UNLOCK position.

Pour warm, soapy water into the Blending Chamber and dispense all of the soapy water through the Spout.

After dispensing all warm, soapy water, rinse by pouring clean water into the Blending Chamber and dispense clean water through the Spout until no soapy residue remains and water comes out clean.

Wipe down the STAINLESS STEEL MARGARATOR™ exterior with a clean, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Dry interior and exterior thoroughly with dry, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. DO NOT put the Base in water.

After drying, firmly attach Blending Chamber to Base by placing the

Blending Chamber on top of Base so that Spout faces forward and slide the three LOCK/UNLOCK switches to the LOCK position.

If Blending Chamber is attached properly, it will be aligned with Base so that the Spout is over the Drip Tray.

Find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the cord is away from any water source. It is acceptable to use an extension cord if needed.

DO NOT place the STAINLESS STEEL MARGARATOR™ near the edge of a table or countertop.

Fill the Blending Chamber with ice and ingredients to the Max Fill line. DO NOT exceed the Max Fill line.

To make a batch of margaritas, fill Blending Chamber with ice up to the Max Fill line and then pour three parts concentrated mix (approximately 45 oz.) to 1 part

Tequila (approximately 15 oz.). For a slushier mix, less liquid or more ice is recommended. It is NOT recommended that you use fruit.

7.

Place Lid on unit and line up arrows on

Lid and Blending Chamber. This is a safety feature and the unit will not turn on without the Lid in the correct position.

You can add additional liquid at any time by opening the Clear

Window in the Lid. Add more liquid after mixing to reach desired consistency.

Plug in unit and turn ON by flipping the switch upward to ON position.

ON OFF

8.

9.

Blend for approximately 10 minutes or until mixture has reached the desired consistency.

While the unit is still on, place glass underneath the Spout and dispense the beverage by lifting the Spout handle up. It is recommended to place a towel or other cloth on the table or countertop underneath the Spout to protect against any drips. NOTE: the Spout has a locking upright position for filling multiple drink glasses or a pitcher of drinks.

10. If the Spout drips after dispensing, place a glass or container underneath

Spout and open and close the valve by pushing down on the Spout

Handle once or twice quickly. Small ice chips can sometimes get caught in the gasket, preventing it from closing completely.

11. Turn off the unit when desired consistency is achieved and it will keep your beverage cold until ready to dispense again.

12. Always dispense beverage with the appliance turned ON. Allow the unit to run for 8 seconds to mix before dispensing if unit has been sitting. When you have finished, turn side knob to OFF position and unplug unit.
