OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE Cordless hand blender

Overload and low voltage protection

The Cordless Hand Blender is fitted with an automatic cut-out that will operate if the appliance is overloaded. This is to protect the motor and battery from excessive heat build up. The cut-out is only momentary, and the appliance can then be re-started. If this automatic cut-out occurs, reduce the volume of food being mixed and process in smaller amounts.

The Cordless Hand Blender is fitted with a second automatic cut-out that operates when the battery starts to become flat. This protection is necessary because applying high loads to flat rechargeable cells reduces their life. If your appliance cuts out without being overloaded, return it to the charging base until sufficiently recharged.

Operating time

The actual operating time of the appliance will vary significantly with the types and quantities of food being processed, but is typically over 10 minutes with a new, fully charged battery under average conditions.

Battery charging procedures

1.Plug the charger plug attached to the charging base into a 110/120 volt power outlet.

2.Place the Cordless Hand Blender motor body into the charging base, making sure that it firmly sits in the charging base and the red charging light illuminates. Your Cordless Hand Blender will begin charging. When the battery is fully charged the charging light will change to green.

3.To maintain the charge in the motor body, keep the charging base plugged into a standard power outlet. When charging, the charger plug may be

warm to the touch – this is normal. It is impossible to overcharge the battery because the Cordless Hand Blender is designed with overcharge protection circuitry.

Charging base

The charging base recharges the Cordless Hand Blender and stores the smoothie attachment and excess cord from the charging base (see Fig. 1). The charging base can be mounted on the wall (see Fig.

2)or placed on a horizontal surface such as a counter or shelf.

The Cordless Hand Blender is equipped with a compact charger plug. It takes up a minimum of space around the power cord. When plugged in, the charger plug will always remain warm, even after the charge light changes from red to green.

The charging base stores the excess cord from the charging base. Simply pull the excessive cord until the desired length is achieved. The excess cord can be wrapped inside the cavity under the charging base.

If you choose to wall mount the charging base, please follow these steps:

1.Select a convenient position within 3ft (1m) of an electrical outlet. If the charging base is to be mounted closer to an outlet, wrap any excess cord in the cavity under the charging base.

2.Place the wall mount against the wall in the desired position to mark the drill holes for the screws (see Fig. 3).

3.Drill a 0.2 inch (5mm) diameter hole through the center of each drill hole mark. Push a plastic wall anchor into each drilled hole.

4.Insert a screw into each drilled hole and turn until the screw heads are 0.1 inch

(3mm) above the wall surface.

5.Slide the wall mount onto the screws and attach the charging base to the wall mount.

The Cordless Hand Blender features a unique safety switch to ensure the appliance does not operate accidentally. To activate the Cordless Hand Blender, follow the sequence below:

1.Depress the Power button for 1 second.

2.Continue holding the Power button , then depress the Speed button
