Care, Cleaning and Storage
Hints and Tips on how to use your Breville Power Blender
Do
Use Low speeds (1 – 3) for light mixing such as dressings,
marinades and batters and foods that require mixing until
just combined .
Use Medium speeds (4 – 6) for pureeing soups and
aerating liquids.
Use High speeds (7 – 12) for emulsifying ingredients
such as mayonnaise and making cocktails.
Use ‘PULSE/ICE CRUSH’ for foods that only require short
bursts of power such as crushing ice or chopping nuts.
Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approximately. 2-3cm
squares) where appropriate to achieve an even result.
Blend thick mixtures when the blender is ¼ to ½ full as
they will puree more efficiently.
Place liquid ingredients (when using several ingredients)
in the blender jug before solid ingredients, unless
specified in the recipe.
Stop the blender and scrape down the sides of the
blender jug with a plastic or rubber spatula, once or twice
while blending thick or dry mixtures.
Don’t
Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the blades
or blender jug.
Do not put more than 2 cups of ingredients into the
blender before blending commences. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are turning you may
slowly add extra liquid or ingredients through the inner
cup opening if desired.
Do not blend 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
for liquid ingredients or 1 minute for dry ingredients at
one time without turning off the blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.
Do not operate the blender without having the blender lid
in position. To add additional ingredients whilst blending,
remove the inner cup and place ingredients through the
opening in the lid. When adding oil or other liquids during
operation, slowly pour through the hole in the lid.
Do not fill the blender jug above the ‘MAX’ line. When the
blender jug is filled at or near the ‘MAX’ line, place one
hand on the blender lid to avoid displacement of the lid
during operation.
Do not place any objects, other than food or liquid, into
the blender whilst the motor is running.
Do not use the blender to store food. The blender will not
knead dough or mash potatoes.
Do not remove the blender jug while the blender is
operating. Always make sure the blender is off by turning
the Speed Selector Dial to the ‘Off’ position. Switch off
the power at the power outlet and unplug the power cord
from the power outlet.
Do not overload the blender with more than the specified
quantity of ingredients as doing so could cause the motor
to stall, if this occurs always make sure the blender is off
by turning the Speed Selector Dial to the ‘Off’ position.
Switch off the power at the power outlet and unplug the
cord. Remove a portion of the mixture from the blender
jug before continuing.
Do not place hot or boiling ingredients into the blender;
allow to cool before placing into the blender jug.
THE BLENDING BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. AVOID ANY CONTACT wITH FINGERS AND HANDS. USE CAUTION
