Tips on how to best use your Breville ikon 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 (4-5 – Liquify and Puree) for
pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
•Use ‘PULSE’ for foods that only require short bursts
of power such as chopping nuts.
•Use ‘ICE CRUSH’ for ice crushing.The maximum
amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any
one time is 1 standard ice tray or 9 oz.
•Use ‘SMOOTHIE’ for drink making using both liquid
and solid ingredients
•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 ikon Blender before blending.After
the blending process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 11/2cups of
ingredients through the opening in the lid if
desired.
•Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Breville
ikon Blender is 1/4to 1/2full.
•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 ikon 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.
•To create even,powdery snow for flavored ice
drinks, use large dry ice that has come straight
from the freezer,then simply blend on 'SNOW'.

Don’t

•Do not operate a heavy mixture for more than 30
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 ikon Blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.
•Do not operate the Breville ikon 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 ikon 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 ikon 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 ikon Blender with more
than the specified quantity of ingredients as doing
so could cause the motor to stall.Turn the Breville
ikon 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 ikon Blender; allow to cool before placing
into the blender pitcher.
