SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR BLENDER

• Wash the blender jug with warm soapy water before first use.
• Use only the blender jug and lid that is supplied with this blender. The use of attachments, including canning jars or accessories not manufactured or specified by Breville may cause the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury.
• Always ensure the blender is assembled properly before using. Lid must be firmly secured to the jug before operation to ensure internal contents do not escape, spray or overflow.
• If the motor is straining under a heavy load, do not operate continuously for more than 10 seconds. Allow the motor to rest for 1 minute between uses on heavy loads. Note that none of the recipes in these instructions are considered a heavy load.
• Do not leave the blender unattended when in use.
• Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades or moving parts.
• Keep hands, fingers, hair and clothing away from the blender during use. Always turn blender off and unplug at the wall before reaching inside.
• Be careful when handling the blender jug as the blades are very sharp. Be careful when emptying the jug and during cleaning. Mishandling of the blades may cause injury.
• Do not remove the jug from the motor base while blender is in use.
• The blender is intended for food or drinks preparation. Do not use for anything other than food or drinks. Do not operate without any ingredients in the blender jug.
• Never attempt to operate with damaged blades, or with utensils, or any foreign objects inside the blender jug.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender, keep hands and utensils out of the jug while blending. The scraper and frozen dessert tamper provided can be used, provided the main lid is in place.
• Never blend boiling hot liquids. Allow temperature to drop before putting into the jug for blending.
• Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender, as it can be ejected out of the jug due to sudden steaming.
• When blending hot liquids ensure inner measuring cap is in place. Cap will protect from splashing of hot liquids during blending and includes vents designed to relieve pressure and avoid steam build up.
• Be careful removing the lid after blending hot liquids, as steam traps can form in the liquid and be ejected out of the jug.
• Do not put the blender jug in extremes of heat or cold, for example placing a cold jug into hot water, or vice versa.
• Before moving the blender,cleaning or putting it away for storage,  always turn blender off and unplug at the wall.

When using the Personal Blender Attachment please note:

Opening a pressurised personal blender cup may lead to ingredients splattering, or may cause burning/scalding if the contents are hot. To minimise the risk of this happening, always follow the instructions below:

• Never blend hot or warm ingredients. Stop the blending process if contents become hot due to blending. Never blend any ingredients for more than 1 minute. Blending for more than 1 minute may cause the ingredients to become hot and steam may cause the cup to become pressurized.
• Never attempt to unscrew the blade from the base of the cup when the cup becomes pressurized due to steam build-up. Allow cup to coo to room temperature before carefully unscrewing the blade.
• Never blend carbonated liquid, detergent, or any ingredient that could expand or generate a gas.
• Never fill the cup beyond the cup’s indicated maximum capacity.
• If leakage occurs during blending, immediately stop blending and unplug the unit from the power point. Check to ensure that the personal blender cup is not filled past the maximum level and that there is no damage to the seal or to the cup. Clean up the leakage with a dry towel and screw the cup firmly to the blending mechanism before resuming blending.

The blender is programmed to allow manual speeds to run for a total of 6 minutes (2.0L Jug) or 30 Seconds (Personal Blending Cup) before automatically stopping.

WARNING: Never blend boiling hot liquids. Allow temperature of ingredients to cool down to room temperature before placing into blender jug.

PRESET PROGRAMS

PULSE | ICE CRUSH:

A program of continuous pulsing designed to chop food into an even consistency or crush ice cubes.

SMOOTHIE:

For dairy-based smoothies. A combination of speeds and pulses designed to combine and aerate ingredients into a smooth and creamy texture.

GREEN SMOOTHIE:

For blending whole fruits/vegetables into a smooth beverage. A combination of high speed profiles breaks down tough fibers into very fine particles. Use the tamper if ingredients become wedged.

FROZEN DESSERT:

A high speed program to breakdown frozen fruit/vegetables into a dessert ready to scoop. Use the tamper for best results.

SOUP:

This program is exclusively for creating a Cold to Hot Soup–turning whole ingredients at ambient temperature into a smooth, hot soup. Primarily a high speed program, the program will finish with a slow stir to remove steam bubbles.

NOTE: Raw foods such as meats and seafood need to be cooked prior to using the SOUP program.
WARNING: Do not add hot ingredients when using the SOUP program. 

CLEAN:

Use to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 4 cups of warm soapy water to the blender jug and press the CLEAN button. For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of liquid dish detergent for extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use.

NOTE: If the blender is running and you press a different preset button, it will switch to that program without stopping. If a program is running and you press the same program button again, it will pause that program and timer. To resume press the same program button again. 

Tips

• The inner measuring cap can be removed and oils/liquids or other ingredients added during blending. Extreme care must be taken as depending on the mixture and speeds of operation, splashes can eject from the lid. It is not suggested to remove the inner measuring cap when blending hot liquids.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required – do not over blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button when food is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.
• The scraper and tamper accessories can be used during blending by removing the inner measuring cap. Always make sure the main lid stays firmly in place.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the blender jug. To push food back onto the blades with the main lid on (inner cap removed), use the tamper or scraper provided to scrape down the sides of the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid spills on top of themotor base during  blending, turn the blender off and unplug from the outlet. Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The optimum amount of ice cubes that the blender can process in the jug is 250g (approximately 1 standard ice tray).
• When the blender has been running for 6 minutes in manual mode with the jug or 30 seconds with the personal blender cup, it will automatically turn off. This is a safety feature to protect the motor.
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage the blades or blender jug.
• Dates and other dried fruits may vary in hardness and moisture content. If adding dried fruits to smoothies, use the tamper for the first 15–20 seconds of the SMOOTHIE or GREEN SMOOTHIE setting.
• To make nut milks, add 1–2 cups of raw or soaked/drained nuts. Add 3–4 cups of purified water, and process on MILL for 1 minute. Strain through a nut milk bag (or muslin/cheesecloth) over a large bowl or jug. Close bag and squeeze the pulp in the bag to extract as much milk as you can.
• To soak or not to soak nuts? This is a personal preference and you can make nut milks with unsoaked or soaked almonds. Almonds are a great source of protein however they contain a naturally occurring compound that may prevent our enzymes from digesting the nuts effectively. Try soaking nuts overnight to help break down the compound. Always rinse and drain soaked nuts before use.
• Roasting nuts to make nut butter allows their natural oils to be released during blending, and enriches the flavor. Some nuts, such  as almonds and hazelnuts, have a lower oil content. Add rice bran, macadamia or coconut oil when blending, if needed.
• Freshly milled whole grain flour does not keep as long as commercial flours. This is because the inner layers of the grain contain rich oils, which can become rancid over time with exposure to heat and moisture. Always store your flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Flour can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer in warm/humid climates.
• Corn, soy beans and some other dried legumes and grains vary in their moisture content, and may not circulate properly during milling. Use the scraper spatula or tamper during milling to assist with circulation.
• To remove any food that cannot easily be scraped out from under the blades, replace lid and turn blender back on high speed for 4–5 seconds to spin foods out from under blades.

Troubleshooting

Care & Cleaning

Vessels and lids:

To avoid food drying on blades, vessels and lids, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use:

• Rinse most of the ingredients off the vessels and lids.

2-litre jug

• Add 500mL of warm water and 1–2 drops of detergent and press the CLEAN button.
• Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.

Personal blender attachments

• All personal blender attachments are dishwasher safe on top shelf.
• To help removing food residues from the blades and cup walls you can add 250mL of cold water to the personal blender cup and press CLEAN.
• Rinse the cup with warm water afterwards.
• If not clean yet, hand wash in warm, soapy water using a mild liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.

WARNING: There is a risk of pressurization from hot water and / or detergent. When rinsing the personal blender cup by using the CLEAN cycle never add hot or even warm water, as the steam produced can create dangerous pressurization. Do not add detergent, as the foam produced will expand and may cause pressurization.
WARNING: Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your jug if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your blender jug and personal blender cup immediately after processing citrus rind.

Motor base:

To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Cleaning agents:

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.

Dishwasher:

The blender jug , personal blender cup, personal blender blade system, tamper, scraper and all lids can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle. Jug can be placed on the bottom shelf, however the personal blender cup and lids should be on the top shelf only.

Stubborn food stains and odours:

Strong smelling foods such as garlic and fish, and some vegetables such as carrots, may leave an odour or stain.

2 Litre jug:

To remove, clean the jug and lid using the CLEAN instructions. Add 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda and ½ cup (125mL) vinegar into jug and let the mixture froth for 1 minute. Scrub the jug and lid with the mixture using a soft dishwashing brush. Add 2 cups warm water and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Attach jug to blender base. Secure lid and then press the CLEAN button. Thoroughly rinse the jug, and allow to air dry. Store jug and lid with the lid off to allow air to circulate.

Personal blender cup:

To remove, pour warm soapy water and fill to the MAX mark. Set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use the CLEAN function to remove stubborn stains and odours from your personal blender cup.

Dry milling:

Milling hard ingredients like spices, nuts, sugar, coffee, grains, etc will cause scratching and clouding to the inside surfaces of the jug. Some spices and herbs release aromatic oils that may discolour the jug or leave an aroma. These are cosmetic results from milling these kinds of ingredients, and does not affect the performance of the jug.

Storage:

Store your blender upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Store the personal blender cup with the blade system assembled. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.
