We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the
safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree
of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:
Important safeguards for your Breville ikon™ Blender
•Carefully read all instructions before
operation and save for future reference.
•Remove any packaging material and
promotional stickers before using the Breville
ikon™ Blender for the first time.
•To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug of
this appliance.
•Do not place the Breville ikon™ Blender
near the edge of a bench or table during
operation. Ensure that the surface is level,
clean and free of water, flour, etc. Vibration
during operation may cause the appliance
to move.
•Do not place the Breville ikon™ Blender on
or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where
it could touch a heated oven.
•Always ensure the Breville ikon™ Blender
is properly assembled before use. Refer to
assembly and operation (Page 9).
•Use only the blender jug and lid supplied
with the Breville ikon™ Blender.
•Always ensure the blender lid is
firmly positioned on the blender jug
before operating.
•Always ensure the Breville ikon™ Blender
is turned off by pressing the ‘Power’ button
on the control panel. Then switch the
appliance off at the power outlet and unplug
the cord. Make sure the motor and blades
have completely stopped before attempting
to move the appliance, or when the Breville
ikon™ Blender is not in use and before
disassembling, cleaning and storing.
•Do not operate the appliance continuously
with heavy loads for more than 10 seconds.
Allow the motor to rest for 1 minute between
each use.
•None of the recipes in this instruction book
are considered a heavy load.
•Do not leave the Breville ikon™ Blender
unattended when in use.
•If food becomes lodged around the blending
blade, turn the Breville ikon™ Blender off
by pressing the power button on the control
panel. Then switch the appliance off at the
power outlet and unplug the cord. Make
sure the motor and blades have completely
stopped before removing the jug from the
motor base. Use a spatula to dislodge or
stir the food before continuing. Do not use
fingers as the blades are sharp.
•Keep hands, fingers, hair, clothing as well as
spatulas and other utensils away from the
blender jug during operation. Never place
your fingers, hands or utensils inside the
blender jug without unplugging the appliance
from the power outlet.
•Be careful when handling the blending blade
assembly as the blades are very sharp. Be
careful when emptying the blender jug and
during cleaning. Mishandling of the blades
may cause injury.
•Do not remove the blender jug from the
motor base while in operation.
•Do not use the Breville ikon™ Blender
for anything other than food and/or
beverage preparation.
•Do not operate the Breville ikon™ Blender
without food or liquid in the blender jug.
•Do not process hot or boiling liquids. Allow to
cool before placing into the blender jug.
•Do not subject the blender jug to extremes of
hot or cold, for example, placing a cold jug in
hot water or vice versa.
•Keep the appliance clean. Refer to care and
cleaning (Page 12).
