Breville recommends safety first

We at Breville 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 for your Breville ikon™ Blender

• Carefully read all instructions before

operation and save for future reference.

by pressing the power button on the control
panel. Then switch the appliance off at the
power outlet and unplug the cord. Make
sure the motor and blades have completely
stopped before removing the jug from the

stir the food before continuing. Do not use
fingers as the blades are sharp.

• Keep hands, fingers, hair, clothing as well as

spatulas and other utensils away from the
blender jug during operation. Never place
your fingers, hands or utensils inside the
blender jug without unplugging the appliance
from the power outlet.

hot water or vice versa.

• Keep the appliance clean. Refer to care and

cleaning (Page 12).

BBL550_IB_FA.indd 4 10/02/10 2:31 PM

Breville recommends safety first continued

• The motor is protected from burning out

by an automatic, temperature operated,
cut-out switch. If the blender is overloaded
or operated continuously for too long, the
motor may overheat. If this happens, the
cut-out switch will prevent the blender from
operating. To operate the blender again, you

must switch off at the power outlet, unplug
and allow to cool for approximately 30
minutes. Once the motor has fully cooled, it
is ready for use again.

Important safeguards for all electrical appliances

• Fully unwind the cord before use.

• To protect against electric shock, do not

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

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge

a table or bench, touch hot surfaces or
become knotted.

• This 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. Do not use the appliance if
the power supply cord, plug or appliance
becomes damaged in any way. Return the
entire appliance to the nearest authorised
Breville Service Centre for examination
and/or repair.

• Any maintenance other than cleaning should

be performed at an authorised Breville
Service Centre.

• This appliance is for household use only. Do

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

• The installation of a residual current device

(safety switch) is recommended to provide
additional safety protection when using
electrical appliances. It is advisable that a
safety switch with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA be installed in
the electrical circuit supplying the appliance.
See your electrician for professional advice.

Operating your Breville ikon™ Blender

Before first use

Before using your Breville ikon™ Blender for
the first time, remove any packaging material
and promotional labels. Ensure the appliance is
switched off at the power outlet and the power
cord is unplugged.

Wash the lid, inner lid, blender jug and blade
assembly (refer to Disassembling the blender
jug on page 10) in warm, soapy water with
a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The
motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly.

When using your Breville ikon™ Blender
for the first time, you may notice an odour
coming from the motor. This is normal and will
dissipate with use.

The blending blades are extremely sharp.
Avoid any contact with fingers and hands.

Assembling and attaching the
blender jug

Step 1

Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface
such as a bench top. Ensure that the motor
base is switched off at the power outlet and
the power cord is unplugged.

Step 2

To assemble the blender jug, replace the silicon
seal onto the blade assembly (see page 11).
Upturn the blender jug and insert the blade
assembly on to the jug base (see Page 11).
Twist the Blade Removal System anticlockwise
until firmly locked into position.

Step 3

Turn the blender jug upright and insert onto the
motor base. The handle of the blender can be
positioned to the left or the right of the appliance.

Step 4

Add food or liquid into the blender jug ensuring
not to exceed the ‘Max’ mark. Place the blender
lid firmly into position on the top of the blender
jug. Insert the clear inner lid into the blender
and turn clockwise into position (see Fig 1)

Fig 1

When adding oil or other liquids during the
operation, turn the clean inner lid to the
unlocked position and pour through the small
holes on either side of the inner lid (see indents
for finger placement Fig. 1) The inner lid can
be removed to add ingredients or check the
texture of the ingredients.

The Breville ikon™ Blender features a Breville
Assist™ Lid. This allows the lid to fit tightly
onto the blender jug, avoiding displacement
during operation. The ring pull design allows
the user to easily remove the lid with a simple
leverage action. (See Fig 2)

Step 5

Plug the power cord into a 230/240V power
outlet and switch on.

Step 6

Press the ‘Power’ button on the far left of
the control panel to turn the blender on. The
‘Power’ button will illuminate and flash.

Do not fill the blender jug above the ‘MAX’ line.
When the blender jug is filled at or near the

the corresponding speed button. The blender
will start to operate and the selected speed
button will illuminate. The ‘Power’ button will
illuminate and cease to flash. The ‘Stop’ button
will illuminate and flash.

Operate the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over blend.

The ikon™ Blender will automatically stop
blending after 120 seconds (2 minutes). This
is a safety feature and restricts wear and
overuse on the motor.

To stop blending at any time, press the
‘Stop’ button or the selected speed button.
The ‘Power’ button can also be pressed, but
this will also turn the appliance off and all
illuminations will go out.

stick to the side of the blender jug. To push the
food back onto the blades, press the ‘Power’
button on the control panel and switch off at
the power outlet and remove the power cord.
Remove the lid and use a plastic spatula to
scrape down the sides of the jug. Replace the
lid before recommencing blending.

If any moisture or liquid appears on top of
the motor base during blending, press the
‘Power’ button on the control panel, switch
off at the power outlet and remove the power
plug. Remove the blender jug. Wipe the motor
base immediately with a dry cloth or paper
towelling to absorb the liquid. Check the
blending jug is correctly assembled.

Overload protection system

The motor is protected from burning out by
an automatic, temperature operated, cut-out
switch. If the blender is overloaded or operated
continuously for too long, the motor may
overheat. If this happens, the safety cut-out
switch will prevent the blender from operating.
To operate the blender again, you must switch
off at the power outlet, unplug and allow to
cool for approximately 30 minutes. Once the
motor has fully cooled, it is ready for use again.
