DO’S AND DON’TS
DO’S
•
Use the Blend function 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 and Ice/Auto
Pulse functions to suit the foods being
processed.
•
Use the Smoothie function to blend fruits, ice
cream and yoghurts into thick smoothies,
whips and milkshakes.
•
Use the Ice/Auto Pulse function for foods that
only require short bursts of power such as
chopping nuts and crushing ice.
•
Use the Ice/Auto Pulse function with short
bursts of power, when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
•
Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx.
2-3cm square) where appropriate to achieve
an even result.
•
Do not put more than 2 cups of warm
ingredients into the Breville Professional 800
Collection Blender before blending
commences. After the blending process has
begun and the blades are turning you may
slowly add another 1
1
⁄
2
cups of ingredients
through the opening in the lid if desired.
•
Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the
Breville Professional 800 Collection Blender is
1
⁄
4
to
1
⁄
2
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 Professional 800
Collection 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 Professional
800 Collection Blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.
•
Do not operate the Breville Professional 800
Collection Blender without having the blender
lid in position. To add additional ingredients
whilst 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 Professional 800
Collection Blender whilst the motor is running.
•
Do not use the blender jug to store food.

switch off the power at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Do not overload the Breville Professional 800
Collection Blender with more than the
specified quantity of ingredients as doing so
could cause the motor to stall. Turn the

by pressing the ‘Power’ button on the control
panel, switch off the power at the power outlet
and unplug the cord. Remove a portion of the
mixture from the blender jug before continuing.

allow to cool before placing into the blender
jug.

Do not place the Breville Professional 800
Collection Blender near the edge of a bench
or table during operation. Ensure that the
surface is level, clean and free of water, flour
and other substances. Vibration during
operation may cause the appliance to move.
