To stop blending at any time, press the ‘Stop’ button or the selected function button. The ‘Power’ button can also be pressed, but this will also turn the appliance off and all illuminations will go out.

Step 9

For ingredients that require short bursts of power, select the ‘Pulse’ function. The ‘Pulse’ button will illuminate and remain illuminated while the button is depressed. Press the ‘Pulse’ button in short bursts until blending is complete.

Use the ‘Pulse’ button when the food that is being processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.

Step 10

At the end of use, always ensure the 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. Ensure 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.

During the blending process, ingredients may stick to the side of the blender jug. To push the food back onto the blades, press the ‘Power’ button on the control panel and switch off at the power outlet and remove the power cord. Remove the lid and use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug. Replace the lid before recommencing blending.

If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending, press the ‘Power’ button on the control panel, switch off at the power outlet and remove the power plug. Remove the blender jug. Wipe the motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towelling to absorb the liquid. Check the blending jug is correctly assembled.

Overload protection system

The motor is protected from burning out by an automatic, temperature operated, cut-out switch. If the blender is overloaded or operated continuously for too long, the motor may overheat. If this happens, the safety cut-out switch will prevent the blender from operating. To operate the blender again, you must switch off at the power outlet, unplug and allow to cool for approximately 30 minutes. Once the motor has fully cooled, it is ready for use again.
