BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• Do not operate the blender continuously

for periods longer than 2 minutes on
any setting. None of the recipes in this
book are considered a heavy load. If the
blender is operated continuously for too
long, it should be allowed to rest for 25­30 minutes before continuing.

• Allow the motor to rest for 1 minute

between each use.

• Do not operate the appliance

continuously with heavy loads for more
than 10 seconds.

• Flashing light indicates ready to operate.

Avoid any contact with blades or
moveable parts.

• Do not process hot or boiling liquids –

allow liquids to cool before placing into
the blender jug.

• Do not move the blender while

in operation.

• Do not leave the blender unattended

when in use.

• Do not place any part of the blender in

the dishwasher or microwave oven.

• Do not place anything on top of the

blender jug when the lid is on, when in
use and when stored.

• Keep the blender clean. Follow the

cleaning instructions provided in
this book.

• Always turn the power off and then

remove the power plug from the power
outlet before attempting to move the
appliance, when the appliance is not in
use and before cleaning or storing.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR
ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• Unwind the power cord fully before use.

• Do not let the power cord hang over the

edge of a counter-top or table, touch hot
surfaces or become knotted.

• To protect against electric shock do not

immerse the power cord, power plug or
motor base in water or any other liquid.

• The appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.

• It is recommended to regularly inspect

the appliance. To avoid a hazard do not
use the appliance if power cord, power
plug or appliance becomes damaged in
any way. Return the entire appliance to
the nearest authorised Breville Service
Center for examination and/or repair.

• Any maintenance other than cleaning

should be performed at an authorised
Breville Service Center.

• This appliance is for household use only.

Do not use this appliance for anything
other than its intended use. Do not use
in moving vehicles or boats. Do not use
outdoors. Misuse may cause injury.

• This appliance is equipped with a

power cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The appliance
must be grounded using a 3-hole
properly grounded outlet. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.

• If the power outlet is a standard

2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord or use an adapter.

• Consult a qualified electrician if

the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

BREVILLE ASSIST™ PLUG

Your Breville appliance comes with a unique
Assist™ Plug, conveniently designed with
a finger hole in the power plug for easy
and safe removal from the wall outlet. For
safety reasons it is recommended you
plug your Breville appliance directly into
its own electrical outlet on a dedicated
circuit separate from other appliances. If
the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not function
properly. Use in conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord is not recommended.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short
power supply cord as a safety precaution to
prevent personal injury or property damage
resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming
entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow
children to use or be near this appliance
without close adult supervision. Longer
detachable power supply cords or extension
cords are not recommended but may be
used if care is exercised. If an extension cord
is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of
the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, (2) the cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the counter­top or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally
and (3) the extension cord must include a
3-prong grounding plug.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

HINTS & TIPS

for your Breville Hemisphere™ Mini

BBL420XL_IB_C11_FA.indd 15 19/08/11 1:35 PM

PAGE HEADER.....

HINTS & TIPS

DO

• Use Low speeds (1 – 3) for light

mixing and stirring such as dressings,
marinades and batters and foods that
require mixing until just combined .

• Use Medium speeds (4 – 6) for heavy

mixes and chopping ingredients.

• Use High speeds (7 – 12) for blending,

liquefying and pureeing ingredients.

• 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 1 inch 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 begins. 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 , or liquid ingredients etc., do
not operate for longer than 2 minutes
and 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 while
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 while 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 Variable
Speed Dial to the ‘OFF’ position 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
Variable Speed Dial to the ‘OFF’ position
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.

WARNING

Avoid pressing the ‘PULSE /ICE CRUSH’
button when scraping down sides of jug
or when lid is removed.
