BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST cont’d

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

• Read all instructions before operating.

• To protect against electrical shock, do not

immerse cord, plug or blender body in
water or any other liquid.

• Always use the appliance on a dry,

level surface.

• Always switch the appliance to OFF,

and then remove the plug from the outlet
when the appliance is not being used and
before cleaning.

• Avoid contacting moving parts.

• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

• To reduce the risk of injury, never place

cutter-assembly blades on the base
without the pitcher properly attached.

• Always operate the blender with the cover

in place.

• The use of attachments, which are not

recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may cause a risk of injury
to persons, fire or electric shock.

• Do not remove blender pitcher from the

motor base while blender is in operation.

• Do not place hands in the pitcher unless the

unit is disconnected from the power outlet.
Disconnect blender from the power outlet
before removing the pitcher from the base.

• Keep hands or utensils out of the blender

pitcher while the blender is operating to
reduce the risk of severe injury to persons
or damage to the blender. A plastic or
rubber spatula may be used but only
when the blender is not running and has
been unplugged.

• Do not use this blender for anything other

than food or beverage preparation.

• Do not blend a dry, thick or heavy mixture

for more than 60 seconds without turning
the blender off and then stirring the
ingredients before continuing to blend.

• When blending hot liquids, remove the

center piece measuring cup of two-piece
pitcher lid.

• Make sure the motor and blade have

completely stopped before disassembling.

• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and

actual appliance for any damage. If found
damaged in anyway, immediately cease use
of the appliance and call Breville Customer
Service on 1-866-BREVILLE.

• The appliance is not intended for use

by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended

when in use. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of

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

• Do not place this appliance on or near a

hot gas or electric burner, or where it
could touch a heated oven.

• This appliance is for household use only. Do

not use this appliance for anything other
than its intended use. Do not use outdoors.

• Always assemble the pitcher and blade

assembly first, before attaching to motor
assembly. Never place blade assembly on
motor base without pitcher.

Your Breville appliance
comes with the unique
“As sist Plug™”,
conveniently designed with
a finger hole in the power
plug, for easy and safe
removal from the outlet.
For safety reasons it is
recommended you plug
your Breville appliance
directly into the power
outlet. DO not use in
conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord.

IMPORTANT: TO CRUSH ICE

Place 1 cup of ice cubes into the pitcher.
Replace lid and push the PULSE button in
short bursts until a snowy textured ice is
achieved. This will take approximately 15
seconds. When crushing ice, place your

hand on the pitcher lid.

ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT

Your blender has a short cord as a safety
precaution to prevent personal injury or
property damage resulting from pulling,
tripping or becoming entangled with the
cord. Do not allow children to be near or use
this appliance without close adult
supervision. If you must use a longer cordset
or an extension cord when using the
appliance, the cord must be arranged so it
will not drape or hang over the edge of a
countertop, tabletop or surface area where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
To prevent electric shock, personal injury or
fire, the electrical rating of the extension
cord you use must be the same or more than
the wattage of the appliance (wattage is
marked on the underside of the appliance).

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE BLENDER cont’d

TIPS ON HOW TO BEST USE YOUR BREVILLE BLENDER

Step 4.

Add food or liquid into the pitcher and
place the lid firmly into position on the top
of the pitcher.

Step 5.

Then, plug into a 120V power outlet and
switch on.

Step 6.

Set the speed by lifting the speed control
switch to desired setting 1 or 2. The speed
can be changed at any time during the
blending process.

When starting to blend,
firmly hold the blender lid
into place. (see fig 5)

fig 5

NEVER PLACE ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOOD AND LIQUIDS IN THE
BLENDER WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING.

8

ALWAYS HOLD THE LID DOWN WHEN STARTING TO BLEND.

For ingredients that require short bursts of
power, push the PULSE button. This is ideal
for crushing ice and processing nuts.

Step 7.

During the blending process, you may find
that ingredients stick to the sides of the
blender pitcher. To push the food back onto
the blades, first switch the unit to the OFF
position and then unplug from the outlet. Use
a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of
the pitcher before recommencing blending.

If any moisture or liquid
appears on top of the motor
base, wipe immediately
with paper towelling.

DO

• Speed 1 is best for dressings, marinades

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

• Use the PULSE button for emulsions

such as mayonnaise.

• Speed 2 is best for pureeing or

making cocktails.

• Use PULSE for foods that only require short

bursts of power such as processing herbs,
nuts and small vegetables. The PULSE
setting is recommended for crushing ice.

• Ensure all parts have been thoroughly

washed and dried before assembly.

• Ensure the blender is correctly assembled

before operating (see page 7).

• Ensure the base of the pitcher is

thoroughly dry before placing onto
blender base.

• Ensure the blender is placed on a clean,

dry surface to operate.

• Liquids should be placed into blender

before solid ingredients, except where
specified in recipes.

• All foods should be cut into cubes

approximately 1"-1
achieve an even result.

• When necessary use a plastic or rubber

spatula to wipe food down the sides of the
pitcher only when blender is in the OFF
position and has been unplugged. Ensure
the blades have stopped rotating. Do not
use metal utensils as they may damage
the blades or pitcher.

• Do hold the lid down when starting to blend.

1

⁄2" (2-3cm) square to

DON’T

• Do not blend dry, thick or heavy mixture

for more than 60 seconds without turning
off the blender and then stirring the
ingredients, before recommencing
blending. For normal blending tasks such
as making mayonnaise and dressings do
not operate for longer than 3 minutes at
one time.

• Do not place any objects, other than food

into the pitcher while the motor is running.

• Do not use the pitcher to store food.

• As air does not circulate when blending,

this appliance will not beat egg whites,
knead dough or mash potatoes.

• Do not remove the pitcher while the

blender is in operation. Always unplug the
appliance before removing the pitcher.

• Overloading the blender with more than

the specified quantity as stated in these
instructions could cause the motor to
stall. Turn the blender OFF, unplug the
appliance and remove a portion of the
mixture before continuing.

CARE AND CLEANINGMOTOR PROTECTION BUTTON (RESET BUTTON)

The safety reset button has been added to
the blender to preserve the motor life.

The switch will be activated when the
motor becomes too hot, or the load too
heavy. The unit will cease to operate. The
switch located under the motor base will
need to be reset by depressing the red
button; this can only take place after 10
minutes. The motor will need to rest for 10
minutes before blending can resume.

Reset Button

• To clean the pitcher, particularly when a

variety of food has been used, half fill the
pitcher with luke warm water and a small
amount of dishwashing soap. Switch to
either of the speed control buttons (1 or

2) and operate briefly. Switch the blender
OFF; remove the pitcher from the motor
base. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Remove the lid and inner lid and wash in

warm soapy water.

• Switch the blender OFF and then unplug

the unit. Wipe the motor base with a soft,
damp cloth.

Never immerse the motor
base in water or any
other liquid.

DISASSEMBLING THE BLENDER

CARE AND CLEANING cont’d

SUGGESTED USES FOR YOUR BREVILLE BLENDER

Step 4.

Lift the blade assembly from the locking ring.

Step 5.

Remove rubber gasket from blade assembly.

Clean parts in warm, soapy water and
dry thoroughly.

To reassemble blender place the rubber
gasket onto the blade assembly. Then place
the blade assembly into the locking ring and
screw the blender pitcher in a clockwise
direction firmly into position.

Once the blender pitcher is
firmly screwed into the
locking ring, ensure the
blender is in the unlock
position before placing onto
blender base.

Crush ice:

Place 1 cup of ice cubes into pitcher and
blend using PULSE button until ice is
crushed.

Bread crumbs:

Remove the crusts from the bread and tear
into pieces. Blend enough pieces at one time
to cover the blades. Up to 4 slices at one
time can be crumbed. Stale bread will
produce the best results.

Nuts:

Process 3⁄4cup of nuts at a time. Use the
PULSE button as this will give more even
results.

Drinks:

Fill the container to at least 1⁄4full,
remember to leave room to allow froth to
form as the drink is aerated.

Soups, sauces, purees:

The quantity blended will depend on the
food/recipe used. However generally, the
more liquid used, the more can be processed
at one time.

Whipped cream:

Place 1 1⁄2cups cream with sugar and vanilla
into the pitcher. Blend until thickened.

Biscuit crumbs:

Break crackers into pieces. Blend enough
pieces at one time to cover the blades.

Batters:

Place liquid ingredients, then dry ingredients
into the pitcher. Using speed 1 or 2
(depending on batter type) blend until a
smooth batter is formed.

QUANTITIES AND HANDY HINTS

• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if

the blender is 1⁄4to 1⁄2full.

• When using several ingredients, place

liquid ingredients in the pitcher first.

• When blending thick or dry mixtures it

may be necessary to stop the blender and
scrape down the sides of the pitcher, once
or twice during blending.

• Your blender is not designed to process

meat or extract juice from fruit
and vegetables.
