Description

The Hamilton Beach Drink Master Mixer 730C boasts a sleek and durable design that complements any kitchen decor. The glass blender jar provides clear visibility of the contents while blending, and the stainless steel beaters are designed for heavy-duty use. The 3-cup mixing bowl is versatile and can be used for whipping cream, beating eggs, or mixing small batches of dough.

The mixer's multiple speed settings allow users to adjust the blending speed according to their needs, ensuring that ingredients are mixed to perfection every time. The non-slip base ensures stability during operation, reducing the risk of accidents or spills.

Using Your DrinkMaster

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash container and mixing shaft before using.

1. Place mixing shaft in unit by tilting the head back and inserting the mixing shaft until it “snaps” into place.
2. Set Control Switch to (off). Plug into electrical outlet.
3. Place ingredients to be mixed in container.
4. Place container onto DrinkMaster, making certain that container’s top edge is behind container support and container bottom is on container rest.
5. With mixing shaft “snapped” in place, move Control Switch to desired speed to process. Start with Speed 1 (LOW) then increase to Speed 2 (HIGH) if desired.
6. For hard ice cream or very thick shakes, remove the container from the rest and support. With mixing shaft still submerged in mixture, move the container around for more thorough mixing.
7. When finished, turn unit to (off) and tilt head up.
8. Pour contents from container and serve.

Helpful Hints

• Most drinks can be mixed in less than two minutes.
• Whole fruit should not be used when making fruit drinks. Mash or puree fruit; add to drink, and mix.
• The container must always be filled to at least the minimum level mark or the liquid will not reach mixing shaft. When mixing thin mixtures, such as powdered diet drinks, do not fill above maximum level mark (12 ounces/355 ml) or liquid may overflow while mixing.
• For best results, all liquid ingredients should be as cold as possible. Milk drinks will taste best if milk is ice cold. The colder the milk, the thicker and more frothy the drink.
• All syrups and powdered mixes should be added just before mixing to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the container.
• The DrinkMaster does not crush ice. For best results, use crushed ice if the recipe calls for ice.

Setup Guide

To set up your Hamilton Beach Drink Master Mixer 730C, start by unpacking all the components from the box. Wash the blender jar, beaters, and mixing bowl with warm soapy water before first use. Assemble the parts by attaching the beaters to the mixer head and placing the blender jar onto the base unit.

Plug in the mixer and ensure it is placed on a stable surface. For blending, simply add your ingredients to the glass blender jar and select your desired speed setting using the intuitive control panel. For whipping or beating tasks, use the stainless steel beaters with the 3-cup mixing bowl.

Cleaning Your DrinkMaster

1. Unplug unit. To remove mixing shaft, grasp and pull down to release from head. Wash the mixing shaft in warm, soapy water.
2. The metal mixing container should be washed in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher.
3. To clean DrinkMaster, wipe with damp cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleansers of any type.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
