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

Hand Blender allows for hot food to be processed directly in the saucepan.This makes blending soups and sauces very easy.For safety reasons, remove the saucepan away from the heat source before processing. Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is kept away from any heat source.
When pureeing and blending, cut food into
uniform sizes.This will ensure smooth and consistent results.
Warm all liquids to be added to soups and purees,
this will ensure even blending.
Use the storage lid of the mixing jug as a non slip
base for the jug during blending.This will keep the jug stable.
Do not operate the appliance continuously for more
than 60 seconds.Allow the motor to rest for 1 minute between each use.
If food becomes lodged around the blade or in the blade guard, follow these safety instructions:
1. Switch the Cordless Hand Blender off by releasing the Power and Speed buttons.
