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.

• Do not process hot or boiling liquids.

Allow to cool before placing into the
blender jug.

• Do not subject the blender jug to

extremes of hot or cold, for example,
placing a cold jug in hot water or
vice versa.

the blender again, you must switch off
at the power outlet, unplug and allow to
cool for approximately 30 minutes. Once
the motor has fully cooled, it is ready for
use again.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your blender for the first
time, remove any packaging material and
promotional labels. Ensure the appliance
is switched off at the power outlet and the
power cord is unplugged.

Wash the lid, inner lid, blender jug and
blade assembly in warm, soapy water with
a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The
motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

When using your blender for the first
time, you may notice an odour coming
from the motor. This is normal and
will dissipate with use.

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

ASSEMBLING AND ATTACHING THE
BLENDER JUG

1. Place the motor base on a flat, dry

surface such as a bench top. Ensure
that the motor base is switched off at
the power outlet and the power cord is
unplugged.

2. To assemble the blender jug, replace

the silicon seal onto the blade assembly.
Upturn the blender jug and insert the
blade assembly on to the jug base. Twist
the Blade Removal System anticlockwise
until firmly locked into position.

3. Turn the blender jug upright and insert

onto the motor base. The handle of the
blender can be positioned to the left or
the right of the appliance.

4. 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 lid into the blender and turn
clockwise into position.

NOTE

When adding oil or other liquids
during the operation, turn the clean
inner lid to the unlocked position and
pour through the small holes on either
side of the inner lid. The inner lid
can be removed to add ingredients or
check the texture of the ingredients.

NOTE

The blender features a 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.

the motor may overheat. If this happens,
the safety cut-out switch will prevent the
blender from operating. To operate the
blender again, you must switch off at the
power outlet, unplug and allow to cool for
approximately 30 minutes. Once the motor
has fully cooled, it is ready for use again.
