Tips on how to use your Breville ikon™ Blender

Do

•Use Low speeds (1-2 – Mix and Chop) for drink or cocktail making and emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as batters.

•Use High speeds (4-5 – Puree) for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.

•Use ‘PULSE’ for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chopping nuts.

•Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approximately. 2-3cm squares) where appropriate to achieve an even result.

•Do not put more than 2 cups of ingredients into the blender before blending commences. After the blending process has begun and the blades are turning you may slowly add another 1½ cups of ingredients through the inner lid opening if desired.

•Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the blender is ¼ to ½ full.

•When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the blender jug before solid ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.

•When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be necessary to stop the blender and scrape down the sides of the blender jug with a plastic or rubber spatula, once or twice during blending. Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the blades or blender jug.

Don’t

•Do not blend a heavy mixture for more than 10 seconds. For normal blending tasks, for example, mayonnaise, dressings etc., do not operate for longer than 1 minute at one time without turning off the blender and stirring the ingredients, and then continue blending.

•Do not operate the blender without having the blender lid in position. To add additional ingredients whilst blending, remove the inner lid and place ingredients through the opening in the lid. When adding oil or other liquids during operation, slowly pour through the small holes on either side of the inner lid.

•Do not fill the blender jug above the ‘MAX’ line. When the blender jug is filled at or near the ‘MAX’ line, place one hand on the blender lid to avoid displacement of the lid during operation.

•Do not place any objects, other than food or liquid, into the blender whilst the motor is running.

•Do not use the blender to store food.

•The blender will not knead dough or mash potatoes.

•Do not remove the blender jug while the blender is operating. Always make sure the blender is off by pressing the ‘Power’ button, the lights will turn off. Switch off the power at the power outlet and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•Do not overload the blender with more than the specified quantity of ingredients as doing so could cause the motor to stall. Turn the blender off by pressing the ‘Power’ button on the control panel, the lights will turn off. Switch off the power at the power outlet and unplug the cord. Remove a portion of the mixture from the blender jug before continuing.

•Do not place hot or boiling ingredients into the blender; allow to cool before placing into the blender jug.
