Instructions for Using the Pre-Set Program Buttons
The following are the basic settings of the six Pre-Set buttons for the PBS. Buttons 1 through
4 are for multiple batches of a standard 12 oz. drink. Buttons A and B are for 16 oz. specialty
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 shave enough ice for the drink,
blend and stop itself when the cycle is completed. A cycle varies in ice shave time along with
blending speed and blend time. Your machine’s Pre-Set options may differ due to program
revisions or if your PBS was programmed specifically for your business.
BUTTON 1: Shaves enough ice for one 12 oz. (355 ml) drink when using 5 oz. (145 ml)
of liquid cocktail mixes, alcohol, purées, or coffee liqueurs only.
BUTTON 2: Shaves enough ice for two 12 oz. (355 ml) drinks when using 10 oz. (295 ml)
of liquid cocktail mixes, alcohol, purées, or coffee liqueurs only.
BUTTON 3: Shaves enough ice for three 12 oz. (355 ml) drinks when using
15 oz. (445 ml) of liquid cocktail mixes, alcohol, purées, or coffee liqueurs only.
BUTTON 4: Shaves enough ice for four 12 oz. (355 ml) drinks when using
20 oz. (560 ml) of liquid cocktail mixes, purées, alcohol, or coffee liqueurs only.
BUTTON A: Shaves enough ice for one 12 oz. (355 ml) drink, when using 6-7 oz. (207 ml) of thick mixtures including hard ice cream and/or fresh fruit.
BUTTON B: Shaves enough ice for one 12 oz. (355 ml) drink, when using 6-7 oz. (207 ml) of hard to mix ingredients including frozen fruit and juice.

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.
2. As a general rule, compared to other blenders, you do not need as much
ice to make an equally frozen drink in the PBS. If your recipe freezes up,
try reducing the amount of ice.
3. Inspect the drive socket and rubber centering pad for any foreign material
including food or water residue as this can affect ice dispensing accuracy.
Be sure to clean any foreign material from the drive socket or centering pad
before placing the container.
4. Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the rubber centering
pad. (Motor must be completely stopped before positioning the container.)
Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials. Avoid running your
machine with the container empty.
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 4 or A and B. The machine will immediately begin
to cycle through the selected program, shutting off when the program is
complete. Note: Each button has a different pre-selected combination of shave
time, blending speed and time.
6. Once one of the 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 the blades come to
a complete stop before removing the container from the motor base.
8. Remove the container, pour, garnish and serve the drink.
9. Press the On/Off power switch 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 off or unplug the machine before touching moving parts. Shut off
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 container blade or shaver blade, do not
serve the drink. Inspect your blades for loose, nicked or missing parts. If parts
are loose, missing or nicked, replace with new blade assembly.
See page 21.
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 21. Do not
tighten hex-headed screw (on top of container 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.
•The PBS measures the amount of ice shaved by weighing the container. For your PBS to
dispense the correct amount of ice, do not rest your hand or any object against or on the
container during the blending or shaving cycle.
•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 27, Cooling the Motor for complete
instructions. When the thermal protector shuts the motor off, 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.
• The PBS measures the amount of ice shaved by weighing the container. For your PBS to
dispense the correct amount of ice, do not rest you hand or any object against or on the
container during the blending or shaving cycle.

like to change the consistency of buttons 2, 3 and 4 to match the consistency of
button 1, add the same amount of time (10 seconds) plus an additional 5 seconds for
each button; button 1 – 40 seconds, button 2 – 55 seconds, button 3 – 70 seconds,
button 4 – 85 seconds.
Suggestions for changing the amount of ice that is shaved for buttons that are used for
multiple batches of the same drink.
For buttons 2, 3, and 4 you will need to double, triple and quadruple the increments of
change. In the example above since you added 4 increments of ice to button 1, you will
need to add 8 increments to button 2, 12 increments to button 3 and 16 increments to
button 4. Note: These guidelines are approximate. Experiment to determine the best
blending time and quantity of ice for your particular recipe.
Important Notes!
• These guidelines are approximate. Experiment to determine the best blending
and quantity of ice for your particular recipe.

Cleaning the Components
After removing the contents in the ice bin, an initial cleaning and sanitizing will be
necessary before adding ice. Make sure the drain hose is connected and there is power
to the machine before cleaning the ice bin.
1.
Follow steps 1-5 on page 23 Care and Cleaning the Container.
2.
Follow steps 2-11 on page 24 Care and Cleaning Ice Bin.
3.
Once dry replace ice bin liner, ice chute, splash guard and container.
Shaver Blade Removal and Installation
The PBS shaving blade is two blades in one. The blade has two shaving edges so that a
fresh edge can be exposed by simply rotating the blade 180 degrees. Your machine was
shipped from the factory with a double edged blade installed. The following instructions
can be used to either rotate the blade to expose a fresh edge, or to install a new blade.
1.
Unplug the PBS and remove the ice bin lid, any remaining ice
(see page 23 for ice removal instructions) and the ice bin liner.
2.
Visually locate the position of the shaver blade. Grasp the shaver wheel so as to
avoid the blade. Hold the shaver wheel stationary while you rotate and remove the
paddle nut counterclockwise.
3.
With the paddle nut removed, lift the shaver wheel off of its mounting shaft.
Note: If the shaver wheel sticks and is difficult to remove, tap the end of the
mounting shaft slightly with a hammer to loosen.
4.
With the shaver wheel removed, locate the two screws holding the shaver blade,
remove the screws and set aside.
5.
If the second edge has not been used, simply remove the blade and rotate the
blade 180 degrees and replace. DO NOT TURN THE BLADE OVER.
6.
If a new blade is being installed, discard the old blade and shim and replace with a
new blade and shim. Note: Blades and shims must be installed together as a pair to
ensure proper PBS operation. When replacing a blade always discard the old blade
and shim and install only all new parts.
7.
Securely tighten the two screws. The screws should be flush with the surface of the
blade. If the screws are not flush, check that the blade is right side up.
8.
Reinstall the shaver wheel onto the mounting shaft.
9.
Replace the paddle nut holding the shaver wheel stationary and turning the paddle
nut clockwise until snug. Be careful not to come into contact with the shaver blade.
10. Replace the ice bin liner and ice bin lid.
18
11.
Installing the Ice Bin Liner and Ice Bin Lid
1.
The ice bin liner rests inside the ice bin and helps separate and distribute the
ice cubes for shaving. The ice bin liner may have shifted during shipping and
unpacking and should rest level inside the ice bin.
2.
To remove the ice bin liner, simply grasp the liners by the side and lift out of
the ice bin.
3.
To re-install the ice bin liner, make sure to align the interlock geometry on the ice bin liner and ice bin, and gently lower the ice bin liner into place.
Figure 1a
Figure 1B
Filling the Machine with Ice
1.
With the ice bin lid removed and the ice bin liner in place you can fill up to
5 gallons (19 liters) of cubed ice. Using ice from an ice-making machine works
best in the PBS.
2.
Do not use ice blocks.
3.
Avoid using bagged ice that has been stored in a freezer at extremely low
temperatures. Use of this type of ice may result in freeze-up of the shaver.
When you must use bagged ice, it should be stored in an ice chest for at least
an hour before use.

literally explodes molecules of food and ice in the
container, helping every batch to homogenize more
effectively. The blades do not need to be removed for
normal cleaning. (Refer to the information below to
remove or replace.)
Drive Spline: Inserts into drive socket on the motor
base to turn the blade.
Note: Removing and replacing your container while
the coupling is still rotating will strip the drive spline
“teeth.” (This part is NOT removable.)
Retainer Nut: Must be snug. Order the available
Retainer Nut Wrench for best results. (Refer to
the information below to remove or replace.)
Retainer Nut Wrench
Blade Assembly Removal
At times, it may be necessary to give your blades
additional cleaning. An easy-to-use blade assembly
removal wrench (Item #15596) may be purchased.
Turn the container upside down and grip firmly. Insert
retainer nut wrench in groove of retainer nut and rotate
counterclockwise to loosen. Then grip blades with a
cloth and remove retainer nut by hand.
Retainer Nut Wrench in use
Replacing Blade Assembly: With the container
upside down, grip blades with cloth, insert into the
container bottom and align with flat sides of the
container opening. Place retainer nut on and hand
tighten. Using the retainer nut wrench, carefully turn
clockwise until secure.
Do not force. If it is not tight enough, you will notice
increased container noise.
Warnings!
Never use a blade assembly with loose, damaged or nicked components.
CAUTION! Do not remove blades or blade assembly unless absolutely necessary!
Never attempt to take the blade assembly itself apart. This will void the warranty.

Important Notes!
Cleaning Products: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or concentrated bleach when
cleaning. Do not use any cleaners containing quanitary sanitizers on polycarbonate
components (i.e., Advance® containers, covers). Do not use any of the following cleaning
products: automatic dishwashing detergents, oven cleaners, steel wool or other abrasive pads.
Cover: Do not wash cover door, handle or back cover in dishwasher. It is recommended
that the handle not be disassembled during cleaning. However, if you choose to
disassemble the handle from the cover, make sure to not over-tighten it when
reattaching to the cover. Doing so will cause damage.
Container: Do not let mixtures, liquids or food products dry in the container. Rinse after
use. Dry product may lock around the blade and weaken/tear the bearings seal when
restarted. Do not place containers in the freezer. Extremely low temperature combined
with hot ingredients and/or the immediate rapid action of the blade may crack the
container. Microwaving and automatic dishwashing are not recommended.

with a low PH balance, such as liquid dishwashing detergent (Ivory Liquid®).
Due to the nature of polycarbonates, automatic dishwashing is
not recommended.
• Recommended sanitizing solution: 1.5 tsp. / 7,4 ml institutional or household
bleach in 2 qt. / 1,9 L water.
• Check your blades daily for loose, nicked or missing parts. If you find
