Ice making capabilities of your Breville Hemisphere Blender

Trouble shooting

The revolutionary Breville Hemisphere Blender allows you to make different consistencies of ice depending on your blending needs. ‘Speed 1/Snow’ and ‘AUTO PULSE / ICE CRUSH’ offer two distinctly alternative icy results. When using ice on either setting, be sure to consider the actual condition of the cubes before proceeding, as it will affect the end consistency.

‘Speed 1/Snow’ is unique to the Breville Hemisphere Blender and will allow you to make even, powdery snow. When making Snow, be sure to use only large, solid, dry ice that has come straight from the freezer (22 ºF / -5.6 ºC, or below).

If using ice cubes with ‘Speed1/Snow’ that are small, slightly melted or even hollow, the end result may form an igloo and leave lumps of ice. If the condition of the ice cubes appear to be small, hollow or even slightly melted, only use with the ‘AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH’ setting.

For applications when you desire a coarse consistency, use with the ‘AUTO PULSE / ICE CRUSH’ setting, in which case any type of ice cubes may be used.

The ice cube matters.

To create even, powdery snow for flavored ice drinks, be sure to only use large, solid, dry ice that has come straight from the freezer, then press ‘Speed 1/Snow’.

When coarser ice is required, use any type of ice, then press 'AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH'.

Note

Coarse ice is great for using as a base for fresh oysters. Snowed ice is great for Shrimp cocktails or slushie frozen treats!

Problem

Solution

 

 

Motor doesn’t start or blade doesn’t rotate

Check that the power plug is securely inserted into

 

the power outlet and switched on.

 

Check that the blender jug and lid are securely

 

locked into position.

 

Check that the ‘Power’ button and selected function

 

or speed setting is illuminated.

 

Be sure to press only one speed or function button

 

at a time.

 

 

Food is unevenly chopped

Either too much food is being chopped at one time or

 

the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting food into

 

smaller pieces of even size and processing a smaller

 

amount per batch. For best results the food should be

 

chopped into pieces no larger than 2cm.

 

 

Food is chopped too fine or is watery

The food is over processed. Use brief pulses or process

 

for a shorter time.

 

 

Food sticks to blade

Processing too much food. Turn the blender off by pressing the

 

‘Power’ button on the control panel. Then switch off at the power

 

outlet and unplug the power cord. When the blade stops rotating,

 

remove the blender lid and remove some food with a spatula.

 

 

Ice is not chopping to desired consistency

The actual condition of the ice cubes will impact the end consistency.

 

Use larger, solid, dry ice on Snow/Speed 1 to create a snow

 

consistency. Use any type of ice on ‘ICE CRUSH’ when coarser

 

chopped ice is required.
