Operating your Breville Powermax

Tips on how to best use your Breville Powermax

Before first use

Remove all promotional labels and wash the blender
jug in warm, soapy water.
Dry thoroughly.

1. Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface and
ensure that the Powermax is unplugged and the
speed control dial is set to the OFF position.

2. Place jug on motor base.

3. Add food or liquid into the blender jug and place
the lid (with removable inner lid locked into
place) firmly on top of the jug and turn clockwise
until it locks into position.

4. Plug into a 230/240v power outlet and
switch ‘ON’.

5. Turn the speed control dial to the required speed
(1 or 2) to commence blending. The speed can be
changed at any time during the blending process.

For ingredients that require short bursts of power,
use the PULSE setting, ideal for grinding chocolate,
crushing ice, grinding herbs and nuts.

The maximum liquid capacity is 1.25 litres. Do
not add liquids past this measurement indicated
on the side of the blender jug.

Note

NEVER PLACE ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOOD AND LIQUIDS IN THE POWERMAX WHILST THE
MOTOR IS RUNNING. NEVER REMOVE THE BLENDER JUG FROM THE MOTOR BASE UNLESS THE
BLENDER IS SWITCHED TO OFF AND THE BLADES HAVE STOPPED. OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE
DRIVE COUPLING MAY OCCUR.

6. To add liquid ingredients through the inner lid,
such as oil, during blending, turn the inner lid
anti-clockwise until it has unlocked and then
remove. Once the ingredients have been added,
line up the two locking lugs with the grooves in
the lid. Insert the inner lid and turn it clockwise
until it has locked into place.

7. During the blending process, you may find that
ingredients stick to the sides of the blender jug.
To push the food back onto the blades, turn the
speed selector dial to the OFF position and switch
off at the power outlet. Use a plastic spatula to
scrape down the sides of the jug before
recommencing blending.

If any moisture or liquid appears on top of
the motor base, wipe immediately with
paper towelling.

Note

Do

• Speed 1 (low speed) is best for emulsions such as

mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods which
require mixing until just combined, such as batters.

• Speed 2 (high speed) is best for pureeing,

crumbing, thickening, creaming and grinding.

• Use Pulse for foods that only require short bursts of

power such as herbs, nuts and ice.

• Ensure all parts have been thoroughly washed and

dried before assembly.

• Ensure the blender is correctly assembled before

operating (see page 5).

• Ensure base of jug is thoroughly dry before placing

onto blender base before use.

• Ensure the blender is placed on a clean, dry surface

to operate.

• Liquids should be placed into blender before solid

ingredients, except where specified in recipes.

• All foods should be cut into cubes (approx. 2-3cm

square) to achieve an even result.

• When required use a plastic or rubber spatula to

wipe food down sides of jug when blender is in the
OFF position and has been switched off at power
outlet. Ensure blades have stopped rotating.
Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the
blades or jug.

• Ensure lid is locked on jug firmly and the inner lid

is in position before operating blender. Do not
operate blender without the lid on. To add
additional ingredients whilst blending remove inner
lid and place ingredients through the opening in
the middle of the lid.

• When crushing ice, add 1 cup of water as this will

aid in the ice crushing process. Continue pulsing
until the ice is completely crushed and has a snow
flake texture.

Don’t

• Do not blend dry, thick or heavy mixture for more

than 60 seconds without turning off the blender
and stirring the ingredients, then continue blending.
For normal blending tasks, eg. Mayonnaise,
dressings etc., do not operate for longer than 3
minutes at one time.

• Do not place any objects, other than food, into

the jug whilst the motor is running.

• Do not use the jug to store food.

• As air does not circulate when blending, the

blender will not beat egg whites, knead dough
or mash potatoes.

• Never remove the jug while the blender is

operating. Always switch off at the power outlet
before removing jug.

• Overloading the blender with more than the

specified quantity could cause the motor to stall,
turn the blender OFF, unplug from power outlet and
remove a portion of the mixture before continuing.

• Do not exceed the maximum liquid level of

1.25 litres.

• Do not process boiling liquids or hot ingredients,

let them cool before placing into the jug.

Care and cleaning

Suggested used for your Breville Powermax

• To clean the blender jug, particularly when a

variety of food has been used, half fill the jug with
luke warm water and a small amount of detergent.
Turn the speed control dial to the Autoclean setting
and operate briefly. Switch the blender off, remove
the blender jug from the motor base.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Remove the lid and inner lid and wash in warm

soapy water.

• Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth.

Never immerse the motor base in water or any
other liquid.

Never place the blender jug, lid or inner lid into
the dishwasher.

Note

Bread crumbs:

Remove the crusts from the bread and tear into
pieces. Blend enough pieces at one time to cover the
blades. Up to 5 slices at one time can be crumbed.
Stale bread will produce the best results.

Chopped nuts:

3

Blend

⁄4cup of nuts at a time. Use the PULSE setting

as this will
give more even chopping.

Drinks:

The Powermax makes superb drinks. Fill the container
to at least

1

⁄4full, remember to leave room to

allow froth to form as the drink is aerated. Max

fill to 750ml.

Ground coffee:

Coffee beans can be ground finely enough for a
percolator or for infusion, but not finely enough
for dripolator or espresso machines. Blend

1

⁄2cup

beans at a time.

Soups, sauces, purees:

The most efficient amount to blend will depend on
the food/recipe used. However generally, the more
liquid used, the more can be processed at one time.
For drier mixtures, begin with enough food to cover
the blades and scrape sides regularly.

Whipped cream:

1

Place 1

⁄4cups cream with sugar and vanilla into the

jug. Blend until thickened.

Biscuit crumbs:

Break biscuits into pieces. Blend enough pieces at
one time to cover the blades.

Mayonnaise:

Place egg yolks, mustard and vinegar in the jug.
Using speed 1 (low), blend for 5 seconds. While the
blender is running, pour oil in a slow, steady stream
through hole in the inverted inner lid. Blend until
mixture is thick.

Batters:

Place liquid ingredients, then dry ingredients, into the
jug. Using speeds 1 or 2 (depending on batter type)
blend until dry ingredients are moistened.

Pureed vegetables:

Place chopped cooked vegetables, up to 1 kg at a
time with one cup of water into the jug. Using speed
2 (high), blend until smooth. More liquid may need to
be added to achieve a smooth result.

Ice:

Simply place ice in the blender and add 1 cup of
water. The water will aid the ice crushing process.
Select the ‘PULSE’ function and hold for 1-2 seconds
and then return to ‘OFF’ position. Continue this process
and in seconds your ice will be fluffy and snowy.

When grinding dry ingredients such as biscuit
pieces, begin by using PULSE and speed 1 (low)
to break into smaller pieces, then continue
grinding using speed 2 (high).

Note

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AND UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE WHEN NOT IN USE OR STORING.
