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.
• Always ensure the appliance
is properly assembled as per
instruction before use. Using
the appliance without being
properly assembled may cause
product malfunction, product
damage or pose safety risk
including personal injury.
• 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.

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 fibres
into very fine particles. Use the tamper if
ingredients become wedged.
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.
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.
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.
10
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 tamper accessory 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 provided to scrape down the sides
of the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid spills on top of the
motor 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).
• 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 flavour. 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
Motor doesn’t start or
blade doesn’t rotate
•
Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.
•
Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
•
Check the ON | OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.
Food is unevenly
chopped
•
Use the Tamper when blending to help move the ingredients around.
•
Reduce the speed so the blades have more chance of grabbing the food
•
This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time.
Try a smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary.
•
The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller pieces.
For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than 2cm.
Food is chopped too
fine or is watery
•
Try blending for shorter period of time or slower speeds.
•
Use the ICE CRUSH | PULSE function for better control.
Food sticks to
blade and jug
•
The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or using a slower
speed for blending.
Food stuck under blades
•
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.
Blender overloaded
•
This blender has a motor protection feature to protect against over heating
and/or over current use. When activated OVERLOAD PROTECTION will
flash on the LCD and the blender will be inoperable.
•
If activated, turn the blender off by pressing the ON | OFF button on the
control panel, switch of at the wall and unplug the blender. Wait a few minutes
then re-plug and power ON the blender.
•
If OVERLOAD PROTECTION is still flashing, repeat and leave the blender
to cool down for at least 20–30 minutes. Once OVERLOAD PROTECTION
has disappeared from the screen the blender is ready to be used again.
•
We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into
smaller pieces.
14
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.
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. Do not place anything on top. To allow air
to circulate, keep the lid off.
Care & Cleaning
Jug and Lid
To avoid food drying on blades, jug and lid,
follow the below steps as soon as possible
after use:
• Rinse most of the ingredients off the
jug and lid.
• Add 1L 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.
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, tamper and lid can be
washed in the dishwasher on a standard
wash cycle. Jug can be placed on the bottom
shelf, however the tamper should be on the
top shelf only.
