A:Answer When I depress the manual shave / blend toggle switch up / down of desired blending station for at least 2 seconds and release if the chute is not over the desired station. The ice chute will rotate to the correct blending station and Green led light will flash as the ice chute is moving. After the ice chute has arrived for 7 seconds an orange light will flash from the start button for 3 seconds to signal that the ice chute is going to move back to the center Home position. There is 6 different setting for drink blending options. There is Ritas, Daiquiris, Mojitos, Smoothies, Slides, and Coladas is all of the blending options. So far I have made the Daiquiris, Smoothies and Coladas setting drinks. I feel like all 3 of those are fast to make. Plus I put each jar in the dishwasher so it is a easy clean up after each use. I hope that I was able to answer your questions. Have a good day.
