Operating your Breville ikon™ Blender

Before first use

Before using your Breville ikon™ Blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.

Wash the lid, inner lid, blender jug and blade assembly (refer to Disassembling the blender jug on page 10) in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

When using your Breville ikon™ Blender for the first time, you may notice an odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

The blending blades are extremely sharp. Avoid any contact with fingers and hands.

Assembling and attaching the blender jug

Step 1

Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface such as a bench top. Ensure that the motor base is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged.

Step 2

To assemble the blender jug, replace the silicon seal onto the blade assembly (see page 11). Upturn the blender jug and insert the blade assembly on to the jug base (see Page 11). Twist the Blade Removal System anticlockwise until firmly locked into position.

Step 3

Turn the blender jug upright and insert onto the motor base. The handle of the blender can be positioned to the left or the right of the appliance.

Step 4

Add food or liquid into the blender jug ensuring not to exceed the ‘Max’ mark. Place the blender lid firmly into position on the top of the blender jug. Insert the clear inner lid into the blender and turn clockwise into position (see Fig 1)

Fig 1

When adding oil or other liquids during the operation, turn the clean inner lid to the unlocked position and pour through the small holes on either side of the inner lid (see indents for finger placement Fig. 1) The inner lid can be removed to add ingredients or check the texture of the ingredients.

The Breville ikon™ Blender features a Breville Assist™ Lid. This allows the lid to fit tightly onto the blender jug, avoiding displacement during operation. The ring pull design allows the user to easily remove the lid with a simple leverage action. (See Fig 2)
