pack and wash the blending shaft in warm soapy
water.Rinse and dry thoroughly.Ensure no water
remains inside the blending shaft to avoid water
ingressing into the motor body when re-attached.

Disassemble mixing jug, stora ge lid and smoothie
attachment and wash in warm soapy water,rinse and
dry thoroughly.Ensure no water remains inside the
smoothie attachment to avoid water ingressing into
the motor body when re-attached.

Dishwashing is not recommended for any part of the
Breville Cordless Hand Blender.

Unlike stick blenders which are plugged into the
power outlet for operation, the Cordless Hand Blender
is safe for use in and around the sink and stove.
However,care should be taken not to immerse the
motor body in water or any other liquid. If using the
Cordless Hand Blender as a stick blender to blend hot
food in a saucepan, remove the saucepan from the
heat source and ensure the liquid is not boiling.
Allow hot food to cool slightly before blending.The
Cordless Hand Blender should be kept away from
any heat source.

The charging base is running at a safe, low
voltage, but it will be damaged if immersed in
water.The charging base should always be
positioned in a clean,dry place well away from
water or other liquids.

Charging the battery before first use:

The battery in the motor body of the Cordless Hand
Blender is shipped either completely discharged of
power or with a small amount of charge.The battery
will require approximately 5 hours to fully recharge
from completely flat.The battery will require a t least
2 hours recharging before it can be used effectively.
Subsequent recharging should take a shorter period
of time depending on the length of time the charging
base has been switched off.

The Cordless Hand Blender motor body has been
designed to be placed on the charging base and left
on charge at all times when not in use.The Cordless
Hand Blender motor body is fitted with a special
protective electronic circuit to prevent overcharging.
Unlike other rechargeable battery technologies, your
high quality Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) cells have a
high capacity and long life.They do not need to be
completely discharged before recharging.

All rechargeable batteries lose storage capacity
over time. If the Cordless Hand Blender ba ttery
appears to deteriorate so that the operation time is
diminished, return the unit to a Breville Ser vice
Center for battery replacement.

Operating your Breville Cordless Hand Blender

continued

Overload and low voltage protection

The Cordless Hand Blender is fitted with an
automatic cut-out that will operate if the appliance is
overloaded.This is to protect the motor and battery
from excessive heat build up.The cut-out is only
momentary,and the appliance can then be
re-started. If this automa tic cut-out occurs, reduce
the volume of food being mixed and process in
smaller amounts.

The Cordless Hand Blender is fitted with a second
automatic cut-out that operates when the battery
starts to become flat.This protection is necessary
because applying high loads to flat rechargeable cells
reduces their life. If your a ppliance cuts out without
being overloaded, return it to the charging base until
sufficiently recharged.

Operating time

The actual operating time of the appliance will
vary significantly with the types and quantities of
food being processed, but is typically over 10
minutes with a new,fully charged battery under
average conditions.

Fig 1

Charging base

The charging base recharges the Cordless Hand
Blender and stores the smoothie attachment and
excess cord from the charging base (see Fig.1). The
charging base can be mounted on the wall (see Fig.

2) or placed on a horizontal surface such as a
counter or shelf.

Fig 2

The Cordless Hand Blender is equipped with a
compact charger plug. It takes up a minimum of
space around the power cord.When plugged in, the
charger plug will always remain warm, even after the
charge light changes from red to green.

The charging base stores the excess cord from the
charging base. Simply pull the excessive cord until
the desired length is achieved.The excess cord
can be wrapped inside the cavity under the
charging base.

If you choose to wall mount the charging base,
please follow these steps:

1. Select a convenient position within 3ft (1m) of
an electrical outlet. If the charging base is to be
mounted closer to an outlet,wrap any excess
cord in the cavity under the charging base.

2. Place the wall mount against the wall in the
desired position to mark the drill holes for the
screws (see Fig.3).

Fig 3

The Cordless Hand Blender features a unique safety
switch to ensure the appliance does not operate
accidentally.To activate the Cordless Hand Blender,
follow the sequence below:

1. Depress the Power button for 1 second

Fig 4

2. Continue holding the Power button ,then
depress the Speed button .

Battery charging procedures

1. Plug the charger plug attached to the charging
base into a 110/120 volt power outlet.

2. Place the Cordless Hand Blender motor body into
the charging base, making sure tha t it firmly sits
in the charging base and the red charging light
illuminates.Your Cordless Hand Blender will
begin charging.When the battery is fully charged
the charging light will change to green.

3. To maintain the charge in the motor body, keep
the charging base plugged into a standard power
outlet.When charging, the charger plug may be
warm to the touch – this is normal. It is
impossible to overcharge the battery because the
Cordless Hand Blender is designed with
overcharge protection circuitry.

Care, cleaning and storage

Warranty

Dishwashing is not recommended for
any part of the Cordless Hand Blender.

Under no circumstances should the blending shaft be
placed in the dishwasher.The caustic chemicals used
in dishwashers will inevitably damage the seals and
bearings that support the rotating shafts reducing
their service life.

For longest life,we recommend hand washing the
exposed blade portion of the blending shaft in the
sink, a voiding water entering the inside of the shaft
as much as possible.

While the transparent mixing jug is made from high
quality plastic material, (which will not be damaged
by the occasional dishwashing on the top shelf only),
for maximum life we recommend hand washing in
the sink.

thoroughly after each use. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool.

QUICK WASH:Between each processing task, with
the motor body attached and turned off, place the
stainless steel blending shaft into a jug of water then
depress the low speed for 5 seconds.This will
remove any food on the blade and blending shaft and
allow you to continue onto the next processing task.

Blades are extremely sharp, handle with care.

Motor body

Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons. Remove the
motor body from the stainless steel blending shaft.

To remove any food residue from the motor body,
wipe with a damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool.Never immerse the motor
body in water or any other liquid.

Smoothie attachment

Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons. Remove the
smoothie attachment from the motor body.

The smoothie attachment should be hand washed in
hot soapy water,rinsed and dried thoroughly after

Chopper bowl

Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the On and Speed buttons. Remove the
motor body from the chopper bowl lid, then remove
the lid and chopper blade from the chopper bowl.

The chopper bowl, chopper bowl lid and chopping
blade should be hand washed in hot soapy water,
rinsed and dried thoroughly after each use. Do not
use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.

Storage

Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
