Hamilton Beach 840071000 manual Control Panel, Crushing Ice, Ice Breaker/Pulse

Control Panel

Depending on the model, your blender controls may range from 7 to 14 speeds. If your blender control panel has blending functions listed above and below a row of buttons, first select the LO or HI power range before pushing a Function Button.

Features called Ice Breaker, Pulse, or InstaBlend indicate an option of blending only as long as the button is held down. The blender motor stops when the button is released. Do not attempt to hold down these buttons down continuously.

This blender has a three position LO/HI/ICE BREAKER switch. Slide the switch towards LO to select the LO power range. The middle position of the switch is the HI power range. To operate the blender, first select the LO or HI power range. Then select the speed by pushing one of the speed buttons. The blender will run until the OFF button is pushed.

Ice Breaker/Pulse

This function allows instant control of the blending action. The blender operates only as long as the switch is held. Slide the switch toward Ice Breaker for instant on and off pulsing action.

Crushing Ice

Fill container half-full with cold water. Add about 2 cups of ice cubes. Place cover on container then press and release the Ice Breaker button. Continue until ice is crushed to desired consistency. Pour contents into colander or sieve to drain off water.

DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT LIQUID. Failure to follow these directions can result in damage to the blades, container, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.
