Why is the Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender superior?
Operating your Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender
What makes this blender superior?
The secret to the Hemisphere™ Blade is the
continuous movement created inside the pitcher. It
allows the Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender to
combine the functions of a blender with a mini food
processor for the ultimate in versatility.
Combined with a powerful motor and heavy duty
commercial grade components, the Breville ikon
Hemisphere Blender is built for durability, reliability
and professional results superior to all other
blenders.

Cleaning the motor base
• Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth then
dry thoroughly.
• Wipe any excess food particles from the
power cord.
Do not use abrasive souring pads or cleaners
when cleaning the motor base as they may
scratch the surface.
Note
Cleaning the blender pitcher, lid, inner
lid and blade assembly
• Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft
cloth. Use a brush to dislodge stubborn foods.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• The blender jug can be washed on a normal cycle
in the dishwasher. Please place the blender jug
upside down. If not placed upside down, the dish
washer heating element may damage the jug base.
Periodically, run a cycle with the jar filled
warm soapy water to help clean in between the
gaskets/washers of the blade assembly as fruit
juices can get in and act somewhat like an
adhesive which would make the blades difficult
to turn and therefore put extra pressure and
resistance on the motor.

Tips on how to best use your
Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender
Do
• Use Low speeds (1-3 – Snow, Mix and Blend) for
drink or cocktail making and emulsions such as
mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that
require mixing until just combined, such as batters.
• Use High speeds (4-5 – Liquify and Puree) for
pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
• Use ‘PULSE’ for foods that only require short bursts
of power such as chopping nuts.
• Use ‘ICE CRUSH’ for ice crushing. The maximum
amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any
one time is 1 standard ice tray or 9 oz.
• Use ‘SMOOTHIE’ for drink making using both liquid
and solid ingredients
• Make sure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1
inch squares) where appropriate to achieve an
even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients
into the Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender before
blending. After the blending process has begun and
the blades are turning you may slowly add another

lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Breville
ikon Hemisphere Blender is
• When using several ingredients, place liquid
ingredients in the blender pitcher before solid
ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.

• When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be
necessary to stop the Breville ikon Hemisphere
Blender and scrape down the sides of the blender
pitcher with a plastic or rubber spatula, once or
twice during blending. Do not use metal utensils as
they may damage the blades or blender pitcher.
• To create even, powdery snow for flavored ice
drinks, use large dry ice that has come straight
from the freezer, then simply blend on 'SNOW'.
Don’t
• 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 1 minute at a time without turning off
the Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender and stirring
the ingredients, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the Breville ikon Hemisphere
Blender without having the blender lid in position.
To add additional ingredients while blending,
remove the inner lid and place ingredients through
the opening in the lid.
• Do not fill the blender pitcher above the 'MAX' line.
When the blender pitcher 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 Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender
while the motor is running.
• Do not use the blender pitcher to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender pitcher while the Breville
ikon Hemisphere Blender is operating. Always make
sure the blender is off by pressing the ‘Power’ button,
turn off the power at the power outlet and unplug the
power cord from the power outlet.
• Do not overload the Breville ikon Hemisphere
Blender with more than the specified quantity of
ingredients as doing so could cause the motor to

The revolutionary Breville ikon Hemisphere Blender
allows you to make different consistencies of ice
depending on your blending needs. ‘Speed 1/SNOW’
and ‘AUTO PULSE /ICE CRUSH’ offer two distinctly
alternative icy results. When using ice on either
setting, be sure to consider the actual condition of
the cubes before proceeding, as it will affect the end
consistency.
‘Speed 1/SNOW’ is unique to the Breville ikon
Hemisphere Blender and will allow you to make even,
powdery snow. When making Snow, be sure to use
only large, solid, dry ice that has come straight from
the freezer (22 ºF / -5.6 ºC, or below). If using ice
cubes with ‘Speed1/Snow’ that are small, slightly
melted or even hollow, the end result may form an
igloo and leave lumps of ice. If the condition of the
ice cubes appear to be small, hollow or even slightly
melted, only use with the ‘ICE CRUSH’ setting.
For applications when you desire a coarse
consistency, use the ‘ICE CRUSH’ setting, in which
case any type of ice cubes may be used.
The ice cube matters. To create even, powdery
snow for flavored ice drinks, be sure to only use
large, solid, dry ice that has come straight from
the freezer, then press ‘Speed 1/SNOW’.
When coarser ice is required, use any type of ice,
then press 'ICE CRUSH'.
Note
Coarse ice is great for using as a base for fresh
oysters. Snowed ice is great for Shrimp cocktails
or slushie frozen treats!
