Operating Instructions
As you begin to use your Mix n Blend II™, you will
quickly learn that its power and double whisk action
will make quick work out of any mixing job. Do not
over-mix your batter. Begin on Speed 3 to blend
ingredients in the order specified by your favorite
recipe. Increase speed as needed.
One of the unique features of Mix n Blend II™ is its
computer controlled “cycles” allowing food and drink
to be prepared automatically. The following blender
and mixer cycles are preprogrammed into Mix n Blend
II™:
MANUAL OPERATIONS
When you first turn on the machine, the default mode
is manual operation. CAUTION: Keep hands clear
of mixer and blender base. Pressing the UP key at
this time will start the machine at Speed 1 and will run
for 5 minutes. Manual mode can be accessed at any
time by pressing the SPEED or TIME buttons.
By pressing either the SPEED and/or TIME buttons
while the machine is in operation, the speed and time
can be adjusted by pressing the Up or Down arrows. If
the mixer is inactive, the speed and time can also be
adjusted in the same manner. (Press the START/STOP
button to start with these settings.)
NOTE: The speed can only be adjusted while the
arrows are flashing around “Speed X”. The time can
only be adjusted while the arrows are flashing around
the time.

AUTO KNEAD FUNCTION
This feature is unique to Blendtec. First, press the
Bowl button. The first mixer cycle to appear is the
Bread cycle. After placing the first set of ingredients
into the mixing bowl, begin the Bread cycle by
pressing the START/STOP button. The Mix n Blend II™
begins the initial mixing of flour, yeast, water, etc.
Add the remaining flour until the dough clings to the
dough hooks and pulls away from the sides of the
bowl. This initial mixing period should take between 3
and 4 minutes.
IMPORTANT! Stop machine when dough pulls
away from sides of bowl. Do not knead past this
point. Due to the varying moisture content of the
flour, the exact amount of flour needed will vary with
every batch of bread made. For excellent, consistent
bread, keep the initial mixing period from 3 to 4
minutes. Answering the phone or becoming otherwise
distracted during this time can unduly lengthen the
total mixing time and potentially over-knead your
bread.
Next push the Auto Knead button to initiate the
Auto Knead function. Be sure to follow your recipe,
remembering that the Mix n Blend II™ uses at least
15% less flour than recommended in standard bread
recipes. DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH FLOUR!
The Mix n Blend II™ now takes over developing the
gluten. It will knead until the gluten is fully developed
