SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM
BENCHTOP BLENDER.

of the jug when a sudden steaming is caused.
• Always operate on a flat surface.
• Ensure the control dial is in the ‘off’ position
before plugging into the power outlet.
• Take care when removing the jug from the
base, emptying the bowl/jug or during fitting
and removal of blade system, as blades are
extremely sharp.

Important: Always ensure your blender is
unplugged from the power outlet before
fitting or removing the blade assembly.
Always handle the blade assembly with
caution, as the blades are extremely sharp.
Wash and Dry Parts
Note: Before using your Ice Breaker
Blender, we recommend removing the
six-blade system for thorough cleaning.
Remove carefully the Blade system from
the glass jug by turning it clockwise.
Remove the ingredient cup from the lid.
Wash the blade assembly, ingredient cup,
lid and glass jug in warm soapy water.
Rinse and allow thorough air drying.
Re-assemble the six-blade system in the
glass jug
Place carefully the blade assembly in the
glass jug. Ensure that the blade assembly
is firmly in place by turning it anti-
clockwise.
Do not remove the stainless steel blades
from the blade assembly.
The blender jug will leak if the six-blade
system is not assembled correctly.
Before Using Your Ice Breaker Blender
Note: When removing the blade assembly
from the jug you may need to slightly tilt
the blade so that it slides out easily.
1. Place the blender jug onto the motor
base.
2. Place ingredients into the glass jug. Do
not exceed the maximum indicated level –
1.25L.
3. Position the lid with ingredient cup onto
the blender jug. Ensure the lid is firmly in
place.
4. Using the selector dial, select the desired
blending speed 1, 2 or PULSE. Speeds
1-2 will provide continuous blending until
the dial is turned to the ‘off’ position.
The Blending Guide on page 4 shows the
functions that can be performed and the
suggested speeds to use.
5. After you have completed blending, turn
the control dial to the ‘off’ position.
Using Your Ice Breaker Blender
Note: Do not operate for more than 2
minutes at a time. Further ingredients
can also be added whilst blending by
removing the ingredient cup and pouring
ingredients through the hole in the lid.
Note: Although the lid fits firmly to the
glass jug, we advise when blending
liquid ingredients, to place your hand
on the lid as you initially select the
blending speed/function. As the 550 watt
motor could cause the liquid to surge up
causing leakage. Once you have started
blending you can remove your hand.
Note:
Do not switch ‘ON’ the Ice Breaker
Blender without the lid in position.

• Nothing can beat a blender for making
smooth purees and sauces or for whipping
up frothy drinks - from healthy breakfast
shakes to frozen daiquiris.
• Use your blender for chopping small
amounts of food like nuts, bread crumbs
and whole spices.
• Turn any oil-based salad dressing into a
creamy style dressing by blending it until
slightly thickened.
• Food items for blending should be cut
into cubes (approximately 2-3cm), this will
assist in achieving an even result.
• Ensure the lid is firmly and securely
placed on the jug. Do not operate the
blender without the lid on, if you wish to
add any additional ingredients remove the
ingredient cup and add as necessary.
• Never fill above the maximum level
indicator 1.25L. When blending very liquid
substances do not fill the jug above 1L to
avoid spilling.
• To ensure efficient mixing when blending
dry mixtures, it may be necessary to stop
the blender and push ingredients down the
sides of the jug with a spatula.
• When pureeing fruit or vegetables, cooked
or raw, cut into small pieces to facilitate
blending.
• When making bread crumbs, use 2 to 3 day
old bread, leaving crusts on, to minimise
the possibility of clumping. If only fresh
bread is available, dry it out for a few
minutes in a low heated oven.
• When blending a variety of ingredients
together, blend the liquids first, then add
dry ingredients.
• Always ensure stones are removed from
fruit and bones from meat as these can
harm the blades.
• Don’t allow a used blender to sit for too
long as the food will dry onto the blades,
making it very difficult to clean. If you can’t
clean the blender straight away, pour some
warm water in it and allow to soak.
• Do not process hot/warm liquids in your
blender. Allow to cool to room temperature
before blending.
Handy Blending Hints
Quick Cleaning Method.
Half fill the blender with warm water and a
small amount of detergent. Turn to PULSE
button for 10-20 seconds. Then remove the
jug and rinse it under running water.
For Thorough Cleaning.
Turn the blender jug upside down. Unscrew
the blade assembly from the jug by placing
the open end of the ingredient cap at the
base of the blade assembly. Wash the blender
lid, ingredient cup, blade assembly and
blender jug in warm soapy water.
To Clean The Motor Base.
Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent
and wipe over the motor base.
Care And Cleaning
Caution:
Take care when cleaning the
blades as they are extremely sharp.
Note:
The jug, seal, locking ring, lid and
feeder cap may be washed in a dishwasher.
Note:
Never immerse the motor base in
water.
