Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the motor base

•Wipe the motor base with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly.

•Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the motor base as they may scratch the surface.

Cleaning the blender jug, lid, inner lid, and blade assembly

•Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Use a kitchen bottle brush to dislodge stubborn food. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

The blender jug can be washed on a normal cycle in the dishwasher. Remove the lid and blade assembly before placing the blender jug in the dishwasher upside down. If not placed upside down the dishwasher heating element may damage the jug base.

Removing stubborn or strong food stains and odours

Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain on the blender jug and lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry throughly.

Storage

Store your Breville ikon™ Blender upright with the blender jug, lid and inner lid assembled and inserted on the motor base or beside it. Do not place anything on top.

THE BLENDING BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH FINGERS AND HANDS. USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING AND STORING.
