Operating your Breville Powermax
Tips on how to best use your Breville Powermax
Before first use
Remove all promotional labels and wash the blender jug in warm, soapy water.
Dry thoroughly.
1.Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface and ensure that the Powermax is unplugged and the speed control dial is set to the OFF position.
2.Place jug on motor base.
3.Add food or liquid into the blender jug and place the lid (with removable inner lid locked into place) firmly on top of the jug and turn clockwise until it locks into position.
4.Plug into a 230/240v power outlet and switch ‘ON’.
5.Turn the speed control dial to the required speed (1 or 2) to commence blending. The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process.
For ingredients that require short bursts of power, use the PULSE setting, ideal for grinding chocolate, crushing ice, grinding herbs and nuts.
The maximum liquid capacity is 1.25 litres. Do not add liquids past this measurement indicated on the side of the blender jug.
Note
6.To add liquid ingredients through the inner lid, such as oil, during blending, turn the inner lid
7.During the blending process, you may find that ingredients stick to the sides of the blender jug. To push the food back onto the blades, turn the speed selector dial to the OFF position and switch off at the power outlet. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug before recommencing blending.
If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base, wipe immediately with paper towelling.
Note
Do
• | Speed 1 (low speed) is best for emulsions such as |
| mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods which |
| require mixing until just combined, such as batters. |
• | Speed 2 (high speed) is best for pureeing, |
| crumbing, thickening, creaming and grinding. |
• | Use Pulse for foods that only require short bursts of |
| power such as herbs, nuts and ice. |
• Ensure all parts have been thoroughly washed and | |
| dried before assembly. |
• | Ensure the blender is correctly assembled before |
| operating (see page 5). |
• | Ensure base of jug is thoroughly dry before placing |
| onto blender base before use. |
• | Ensure the blender is placed on a clean, dry surface |
| to operate. |
• | Liquids should be placed into blender before solid |
| ingredients, except where specified in recipes. |
• | All foods should be cut into cubes (approx. |
| square) to achieve an even result. |
• | When required use a plastic or rubber spatula to |
| wipe food down sides of jug when blender is in the |
| OFF position and has been switched off at power |
| outlet. Ensure blades have stopped rotating. |
| Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the |
| blades or jug. |
• | Ensure lid is locked on jug firmly and the inner lid |
| is in position before operating blender. Do not |
| operate blender without the lid on. To add |
| additional ingredients whilst blending remove inner |
| lid and place ingredients through the opening in |
| the middle of the lid. |
• | When crushing ice, add 1 cup of water as this will |
| aid in the ice crushing process. Continue pulsing |
| until the ice is completely crushed and has a snow |
Don’t
•Do not blend dry, thick or heavy mixture for more than 60 seconds without turning off the blender and stirring the ingredients, then continue blending. For normal blending tasks, eg. Mayonnaise, dressings etc., do not operate for longer than 3 minutes at one time.
•Do not place any objects, other than food, into the jug whilst the motor is running.
•Do not use the jug to store food.
•As air does not circulate when blending, the blender will not beat egg whites, knead dough or mash potatoes.
•Never remove the jug while the blender is operating. Always switch off at the power outlet before removing jug.
•Overloading the blender with more than the specified quantity could cause the motor to stall, turn the blender OFF, unplug from power outlet and remove a portion of the mixture before continuing.
•Do not exceed the maximum liquid level of 1.25 litres.
•Do not process boiling liquids or hot ingredients, let them cool before placing into the jug.
NEVER PLACE ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOOD AND LIQUIDS IN THE POWERMAX WHILST THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. NEVER REMOVE THE BLENDER JUG FROM THE MOTOR BASE UNLESS THE BLENDER IS SWITCHED TO OFF AND THE BLADES HAVE STOPPED. OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE COUPLING MAY OCCUR.
