water or any other liquid.

• Do not allow the cord to
hang over the edge of a
table or counter-top, touch
hot surfaces or become
knotted.

• Children should be
supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the
appliance.

• This appliance is equipped
with a power cord having
a grounding wire with
a grounding plug. The
appliance must be
grounded using a 3-hole
properly grounded outlet.
In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of
electrical shock.

• If the power outlet is
a standard 2-prong
wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility
and obligation to have it

grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.

• Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord
or use an adapter.

SHORT CORD
INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance
is fitted with a short
power supply cord to
reduce personal injury or
property damage resulting
from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a
longer cord.
If an extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or
extension cord should
be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the
appliance, (2) the cord

should be arranged so
that it will not drape over
the countertop or table­top where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped
over unintentionally and
(3) the extension cord
must include a 3-prong
grounding plug.

BREVILLE ASSIST

®

PLUG

Your Breville appliance
comes with a unique
Assist

®

Plug, conveniently
designed with a finger hole
to ease removal from the
power outlet. For safety
reasons it is recommended
you plug your Breville
appliance directly into its
own electrical outlet on a
dedicated circuit separate
from other appliances. If the
electric circuit is overloaded
with other appliances,
your appliance may not
function properly. Use in
conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord is
not recommended.

Functions

MANUAL SPEED SELECTION

ON | OFF

The ON | OFF button powers the unit into
READY mode.

CANCEL button

Cancels any function.

Electronic speed control

There are 5 electronic speed buttons from MIX
through to LIQUIFY.

MIX combines more delicate foods with a
folding motion, and is good for combining wet
and dry ingredients.

LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for
breaking down ingredients to make cocktails
and other finely blended mixtures.

PULSE

The momentary pulse button is ideal for
processing foods that need sudden bursts of
power. It also encourages ingredients to move
around the jug.

Count-up timer

The blender timer counts up in seconds as it
blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from
MIX to LIQUIFY. When using the timer this
way, the blender will stop after 60 seconds, or
you can cancel blending manually.

PRESET PROGRAMS

Smoothie (60 seconds)

This program has been optimised to combine
and aerate frozen and liquid ingredients
together. The SMOOTHIE function has a
unique processing technique that blends
the denser ingredients at lower speed, then
increases in speed as ingredients thicken.
This will happen several times while blending
smoothies. The programming also circulates
the ingredients for maximum aeration and
creamy texture.

Pressing the button will activate the program –
press again to deactivate.

Ice crush (60 seconds)

Optimised to crush ice, and also ideal for
processing other foods that need sudden bursts
of power. This program has an intelligent
sensor to stop the motor when the ice is done.

Count-down timer

The blender timer counts down in seconds as
it blends in the SMOOTHIE or ICE CRUSH
programs.

10

AUTO CLEAN

Use to remove most of the ingredients off the
blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups warm
soapy water, and press the clean button.

For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients,
add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for
extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the
blender jug this way immediately after use.

NOTE

If the blender is running and a different button
is pressed, the speed will automatically switch
to that program without stopping.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Breville Hemisphere™
Control Blender for the first time, remove any
packaging material and promotional labels.
Wash the lid, inner lid, blender jug (refer to
"Care & Cleaning) in warm, soapy water
with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not place parts in the dishwasher (with the
exception of the blender jug).

The blender jug may be washed in the
dishwasher. Ensure the lid has been removed
from the blender jug before placing into the
dishwasher. The motor base can be wiped with
a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

The blending blades are extremely sharp.
Avoid any contact with fingers and hands.

ASSEMBLING AND ATTACHING
THE BLENDER

Step 1

Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such
as a counter-top. Ensure that the motor base
is turned off at the ON | OFF button and the
power cord is unplugged.

Step 2

With the blender jug in the upright position
place it on the motor base. The handle of the
blender can be positioned to the left or right
hand side of the appliance.

Step 3

Add food or liquid into the blender jug
ensuring not to exceed the ‘MAX’ mark.
Place the blender lid firmly into position on
the top of the blender jug. Insert the clear inner
measuring lid into the blender lid and turn
clockwise to lock into position.

11

NOTE

The Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender
features a Breville 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.

Step 4

Plug power cord into a 110/120V power outlet
and turn on.

Step 5

Press the ON | OFF button on the far left of
the control panel to turn the blender on.
The ON | OFF button will illuminate and flash.
The LCD timer screen will illuminate with
‘00’ displayed.

NOTE

• Flashing light indicates ready to operate.

Avoid any contact with moveable parts while
in operation.

• Do not fill the blender jug above the ‘MAX’

line. 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.

Step 6

Select the required speed (1 to 5) by pressing
the corresponding speed button. The blender
will start to operate and the selected speed
button will illuminate. The ON | OFF button
will illuminate and cease to flash.

The CANCEL button will illuminate and flash.
The LCD timer screen will start counting up
in one second increments until 60 seconds is
reached.

NOTE

Operate the blender only for the appropriate
amount of time required – do not over blend.

Step 7

When 60 seconds is reached, the blender
will automatically stop blending and the
selected speed button and CANCEL button
illumination will go out. The ON | OFF button
will illuminate and flash. After a few seconds
the LCD timer screen will revert to ‘00’.

NOTE

• The Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender

will automatically stop blending after
60 seconds. This is a safety feature and
restricts wear on the motor.

• To stop blending at any time, press the

CANCEL button or the selected speed
button. The ON | OFF button can also be
pressed, but this will also turn the appliance
off and all illuminations will go out.

• 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. The number of seconds on the LCD
timer screen will continue to count upwards
to 120 seconds unless interrupted.

Step 8

The Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender
features two additional functions, ‘ICE CRUSH’
and ‘SMOOTHIE’. These two pre-programmed
cycles automatically adjust the blending time
and speeds to optimise blending results.
Select the required function by pressing the
corresponding function button. The blender
will start to operate and the selected function
button will illuminate. The ON | OFF button
will illuminate and stop flashing. The CANCEL
button will illuminate and flash. The LCD timer
screen will start counting down in one second
increments until ‘00’ is displayed.
