Tips on how to best use your Breville Hemisphere Blender

Suggested uses for your Breville Hemisphere Blender

Do

•Use Low speeds (1-3 - Snow, Mix and Blend) 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 (Liquify and Smoothie) for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.

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

•Use Speed 1 / Snow or AUTO PULSE for ice crushed creations. The maximum amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any one time is 1 standard ice try or 9 oz.

•Make sure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1 inch squares) where appropriate to achieve an even result.

•Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the Breville Hemisphere Blender before blending. After the blending process has begun and the blades are turning you may slowly add another 11/2 cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.

•Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Breville Hemisphere Blender is 1/4 to 1/2 full.

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

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

Don’t

•Do not operate 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 a time without turning off the Breville Hemisphere Blender and stirring the ingredients, and then continue blending.

•Do not operate the Breville Hemisphere Blender without having the blender lid in position. To add additional ingredients while blending, remove the inner lid and place ingredients through the opening in the lid.

•Do not fill the blender pitcher above the 'MAX' line. When the blender pitcher 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 Breville Hemisphere Blender while the motor is running.

•Do not use the blender pitcher to store food.

•The blender will not knead dough or mash potatoes.

•Do not remove the blender pitcher while the Breville Hemisphere Blender is operating. Always make sure the blender is off by pressing the ‘Power’ button, turn off the power at the power outlet and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

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

•Do not place hot or boiling ingredients into the Breville Hemisphere Blender; allow to cool before placing into the blender pitcher.
