HINTS & TIPS
DO’S AND DON’TS
Do’s
• Use the function 3 - 4 for drink or cocktail
making, emulsions such as mayonnaise,
dressings, marinades and foods that
require mixing until just combined, such
as batters, also for pureeing soups and
aerating liquids.
• Use a combination of the
Blend/Pulse functions to suit the foods
being processed.
• Use the Smoothie function to blend
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.
• Use the Ice Crush function for foods that
only require short bursts of power such as
chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• Use the Ice Crush function with short
bursts of power, when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes
(approx. 2cm square) where appropriate to
achieve an even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm
ingredients into the blender before
blending commences. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1½
cups of ingredients through the opening
in the lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if
the Breville Blender is ¼ to ½ full.
• When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the blender jug
before solid ingredients, unless specified
in the recipe. When blending thick or
dry mixtures it may be necessary to stop
the Breville Blender and scrape down
the sides of the blender jug with a plastic
or rubber spatula, once or twice during
blending.
Don'ts
• Do not use metal utensils as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not operate a heavy mixture for more
than 10 seconds. For normal blending
tasks, for example, mayonnaise, dressings
etc., do not operate for longer than 2
minutes at one time without turning
off the Breville Blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the Breville Blender
without having the blender lid in position.
To add additional ingredients during
blending, remove the inner lid and place
ingredients through the opening in the lid.
• Do not place any objects, other than food
or liquid, into the Breville Blender while
the motor is running.
• Do not use the blender jug to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or mash
potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender jug while
the Breville Blender is operating. Always
make sure the blender is switched off by
pressing the ‘Power’
button, switch off
the power at the power outlet and unplug
the power cord from the power outlet.
• Do not overload the Breville Blender
with more than the specified quantity of
ingredients as doing so could cause the
motor to stall. Once the icon stops flashing
the blender has now cooled down and
you will be able to use the blender as per
instructions. At this point the blender
will be in standby mode and you will only
need to press the function/button that you
require to start blending again. However
if you have turned the blender off you will
need to switch it back on and only if the
icon has stop flashing commence blending
as usual.
• Do not place hot or boiling ingredients
into the Breville Blender; allow to cool
before placing into the blender jug.
