At Breville, we are proud of our innovations. Our Die
Cast Hemisphere Blender appliances are designed to be
the best in their class. When we set out to design our Die
Cast Hemisphere Blender we were determined to design
an exceptional blender, and that meant re-designing the
blender blades, which have seen no major improvements
for over 80 years.

Our inspiration came from the continuous motion and even
particle sizes created by food processors. We completely
redesigned the blender blades to spin in a wide arc running
parallel to the base of the jug which eliminates any dead
zones. This has created huge improvements in efficiency
and performance.

The result is smooth blending, quiet operation and durability.

Enjoy!

such as a bench top. Ensure that the motor
base is switched off at the power outlet and
the power cord is unplugged. Turn the blender
jug upright and insert on to the motor base.

USING THE BLENDER

1. To turn the blender on press the ‘Power’
button on the far left of the control panel.
The ‘Power’ button will illuminate and flash
indicating the blender is powered on.
When the jug is placed on the base all lights
will illuminate signalling the blender is ready
for use.

2. Add food or liquid into the blender jug

ensuring not to exceed the ‘MAX’ mark.

3. Place the blender lid firmly into position on

the top of the blender jug. If not already in
place, insert the clear inner lid into the
blender lid and turn clockwise or
anticlockwise to lock into position (see Fig.5).

The Breville Die Cast Hemisphere Blender
features a patent pending 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.6).

NOTE: When using your Breville Die

Cast Hemisphere Blender for
the first time, you may notice
an odor coming from the
motor. This is normal and will
dissipate with use.

NOTE: When the blender jug is filled

at or near the ‘MAX’ line, place
one hand on the blender lid to
avoid displacement of the lid
during operation.

or Ice/Auto Pulse) by pressing the
corresponding speed button. The blender will
start to operate and only the selected speed
button will illuminate. The ‘Power’ button will
continue to flash.

The speed can be changed at any time during
the blending process. Each time a
new speed is selected its button will illuminate
and the previous speed button illumination will
go out.

5. For ice-crushing or ingredients that require
short bursts of power, select the Ice/Auto
Pulse button. The blender will start to operate
and the Ice/Auto Pulse button will illuminate.
The 'Power' button will continue to flash.

The pre-programmed functions have been
designed to run for a specific time.

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

7. At the end of use, always ensure the Breville
Die Cast Hemisphere Blender is turned off by
pressing the ‘Power’ button on the control

cleaning and storing.

HOW TO USE THE BREVILLE DIE CAST BLENDER

NOTE: Operate the blender only for

the appropriate amount of time
required. The Die Cast
Hemisphere Blender will
automatically stop blending
on the Blend function after
60 seconds (1 minute) and
on the Smoothie and Ice/Auto
Pulse functions to avoid

over processing.

NOTE: The smoothie function has a

unique processing technique
that blends the denser
ingredients at a lower speed,
then increases as ingredients
thicken. This may happen
several times while blending
smoothies.

NOTE: During the blending process,

ingredients may stick to the
sides 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 befor

e

recommencing blending.

DO’S AND DON’TS

DO’S

• Use the Blend function for drink or cocktail

making, emulsions such as mayonnaise,
dressings, marinades and foods that require
mixing until just combined, such as batters,
also for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.

• Use a combination of the Blend and

Ice/Auto Pulse functions to suit the foods
being processed.

• Use the Smoothie function to blend fruits, ice

cream and yoghurts into thick smoothies,
whips and milkshakes.

• Use the Ice/Auto Pulse function for foods that

only require short bursts of power such as
chopping nuts and crushing ice.

• Use the Ice/Auto Pulse function with short

bursts of power, when blending drinks
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.

• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1

inch square) where appropriate to achieve an
even result.

• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm

ingredients into the Breville Die Cast
Hemisphere Blender before blending
commences. After the blending process has
begun and the blades are turning you may
slowly add another 11⁄2cups of ingredients
through the opening in the lid if desired.

• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the

Breville Die Cast Hemisphere Blender is 1⁄4to

1

⁄2full.

• When using several ingredients, place liquid

ingredients in the blender jug before solid
ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.
When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be
necessary to stop the Breville Die Cast
Hemisphere Blender and scrape down the
sides of the blender jug with a plastic or rubber
spatula, once or twice during blending. Do not
use metal utensils as they may damage the
blades or blender.

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 2 minutes at one time
without turning off the Breville Die Cast
Hemisphere Blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.

• Do not operate the Breville Die Cast

Hemisphere Blender without having the blender
lid in position. To add additional ingredients
whilst blending, remove the inner lid and place
ingredients through the opening in the lid.

• Do not place any objects, other than food or

liquid, into the Breville Die Cast Hemisphere
Blender whilst the motor is running.

• Do not use the blender jug to store food.

• The blender will not knead dough or

mash potatoes.

• Do not remove the blender jug while the

Breville Die Cast Hemisphere Blender is
operating. Always make sure the blender is
switched off by pressing the ‘Power’ button,
switch off the power at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

• Do not overload the Breville Die Cast

Hemisphere Blender with more than the
specified quantity of ingredients as doing so
could cause the motor to stall. Turn the
Breville Die Cast Hemisphere Blender off by
pressing the ‘Power’ button on the control
panel, switch off the power at the power outlet
and unplug the cord. Remove a portion of the
mixture from the blender jug before continuing.

• Do not place hot or boiling ingredients into the

Breville Die Cast Hemisphere Blender; allow to
cool before placing into the blender jug.

• Do not place the Breville Die Cast Hemisphere

Blender near the edge of a bench or table
during operation. Ensure that the surface is
level, clean and free of water, flour and other
substances. Vibration during operation
may cause the appliance to move.
