AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION
Buttons 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the touch pad are preprogrammed cycles designed for easy-to-use recipes included in your recipe book. The cycles will start with the press of a button and will stop automatically when the cycle is complete. Button 5 is a speed key: This button is unique because it allows you to set the speed to your own desired setting. To set the speed, simply hold the 5 button down for a number of seconds. The Green LED display will reflect the speed setting (1 through 10) on the left side. When you release the button, the motor will remain at the speed selected for 50 seconds unless you touch the button again to terminate the cycle.
Button 1: Blends soft items such as ice creams and shakes. It runs for 27 seconds at low speed. This setting is ideal for soft fruits such as grapes, peaches and oranges.
Button 2: Great granita and margarita cycle. Good for ice cubes, fruit syrups or concentrates. This is a short cycle at only 14 seconds varying between low and high speeds. Great for soft fruits.
Button 3: This is the most frequently used speed of all. This button provides a robust cycle for more difficult "smoothies" or frozen drinks of fruit and ice. The cycle runs 23 seconds. This cycle handles firmer fruits such as apples, pineapple with the core, watermelon with seeds, etc.
Button 4: This cycle is for frozen fruits and hard vegetables. This cycle fluctuates between lower and higher speeds to pull thicker materials into the blade. It is an excellent cycle for carrots, broccoli and hard materials such as whole wheat and rice.
Button 5: The speed key. This key is used when one wishes to control the cycle. In this mode, the motor will run as long as 50 seconds and at whatever speed you select up to speed 10 (28,000 RPM plus).
Button P: The Pulse button provides one with the ability to chop foods or make chunky salsa's by controlling the blade. The motor runs only while the "P" button is held down.
FAQs:
Why does the blender blade spin but the ingredients do not blend?
This is cavitation, the result of too much cold within the blender. Increase the amount of liquid and/or decrease the amount of ice or frozen items and the ingredients will blend. Do not rock the blender, stop it, add small amount of liquid, then re-blend.
Will the HP3 blender blend vegetables and fruits into drinkable liquids?
Yes, although the Champ HP3 is not an extractor, so you may need to add liquid or ice to reach the consistency you desire.
Can I make hot soup in my blender?
Yes, run the blender for 3-4 minutes to allow the friction inside the jar to create heat. Alternate methods are to add boiling water to the jar, blend, then serve or blend and then heat in the microwave in a suitable container.
Why does my blender stop before the ingredients are completely blended?
Your blender has preprogrammed cycles that are timed. Select a higher button for longer blend cycles.
Will the HP3 blender grind flax seeds and make nut butters?
Yes, the HP3 blender will grind flax seeds into powder. It will grind raw almonds into a powder. If a "butter" consistency is required, you may have to add additional oil to the powder, most raw nuts have a low oil content that prevents them from making a butter.
