HINTS & TIPS
Do’s and Don’ts
Do’s
•Use the BLEND function for drink or cocktail making, emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that require mixing until just combined, such as batters, also for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
•Use a combination of the BLEND and ICE CRUSH/PULSE functions to process the foods being blended.
•Use the SMOOTHIE function to blend fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick smoothies, blended drinks, and milkshakes.
•Use the ICE CRUSH/AUTO PULSE function for foods that only require short bursts of power.
•Use the ICE CRUSH/AUTO PULSE function
with short bursts of power, when blending drinks containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.
•Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1 square inch) where appropriate to achieve an even result.
•Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients into the blender jug before blending commences. After the blending process has begun and the blades are turning you may slowly add another 1½ cups of ingredients through the opening in the lid if desired.
•Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender is ¼ to ½ full.
•When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the blender jug before solid ingredients, unless specified in the recipe. When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be necessary to stop the Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender and scrape down the sides of the blender jug with a plastic or rubber spatula, once or twice during blending.
Don'ts
•Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the blades or blender jug.
•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 one time without turning off the Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender and stirring the ingredients, and then continue blending.
•Do not operate the Breville Hemisphere™ Control 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 place any objects, other than food or liquid, into the Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender while the motor is running.
•Do not use the blender jug to store food.
•The blender will not knead dough or mash potatoes.
•Do not remove the blender jug while the Breville Hemisphere™ Control Blender is operating. Always make sure the blender is turned off by pressing the 
button and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
