MANUAL SPEED SELECTION
ON | OFFThe ON | OFF button powers the unit intoREADY mode.
ELECTRONIC SPE
There are 5 electronic speed buttons from MIX through to LIQUIFY. MIX combines more delicate foods with a folding motion, and is good for combining wet and dry ingredients.LIQUIFY is the fastest setting, and is ideal for breaking down ingredients to make cocktails and other finely blended mixtures.Select the required speed (1 to 5) by pressing the corresponding speed button. The blender will start to operate and the selected speed button will illuminate. The ON | OFF button will illuminate and cease to flash.The LCD timer screen will start counting up in one second increments until 120 seconds is reached.
NOTE:
Operate the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required – do not over blend. When 120 seconds is reached, the blender will automatically stop blending and the selected speed button illumination will go out.The ON | OFF button will illuminate and flash. After a few seconds the LCD timer screen will revert to ‘00’.
- The Breville Blender will automatically stop blending after 120 seconds. This is a safety feature and restricts wear on the motor.
- The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process. Each time a new speed is selected its button will illuminate and the previous speed button illumination will go out. The number of seconds on the LCD timer screen will continue to count upwards to 120 seconds unless interrupted.
Count-up timer
The blender timer counts up in seconds as it blends on one of the 5 electronic speeds from MIX to LIQUIFY. When using the timer this way, the blender will stop after 2 minutes.
PRESET PROGRAMS
Your Breville Blender features three additional functions, ‘AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH’, ‘GREEN SMOOTHIE’ and ‘SMOOTHIE’. These three pre-programmed cycles automatically adjust the blending time and speeds to optimise blending results. The maximum amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any one time is 1 standard ice tray or 250g. Select the required function by pressing the corresponding function button. The blender will start to operate and the selected function button will illuminate. The ON | OFF button will illuminate and stop flashing. The LCD timer screen will start counting down in one second increments until ‘00’ is displayed.
GREEN SMOOTHIE (60 SECONDS)
Optimised to break down whole hard ingredients like fruits, leafy greens and seeds, and allows them to blend together with other soft and liquid ingredients.
SMOOTHIE (60 SECONDS)
This program has been optimised to combine and aerate frozen and liquid ingredients together. The SMOOTHIE function has a unique processing technique that blends the denser ingredients at lower speed, then increases in speed as ingredients thicken. This will happen several times while blending smoothies. The programming also circulates the ingredients for maximum aeration and creamy texture.
AUTO PULSE/ ICE CRUSH (60 seconds)
Optimized to crush ice, and also ideal for processing other foods that need sudden bursts of power. It also encourages ingredients to move around the jug by manually controlling pulse cycles.
Count-down timer
The blender timer counts down in seconds as it blends in the pre-set programs.
AUTO CLEAN
Use to remove most of the ingredients off the blender walls and blades. Add 2 cups warm soapy water, and press the clean button. For harder to clean, sticky or thick ingredients, add ½ teaspoon of dish liquid detergent for extra cleaning power. For best results, clean the blender jug this way immediately after use.
NOTE: Pressing a button will activate the program – press again to deactivate.NOTE: If the blender is running and a different button is pressed, the speed will automatically switch to that program without stopping.WARNING: Never place anything other than food and liquids in the blender while the motor is running.NOTE: Use the AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH button when the food that is being processed is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.At the end of use, always ensure the blender is turned off by pressing the ON | OFF button on the control panel. Then unplug the cord.Ensure the motor and blades have completely stopped before attempting to move the appliance, or when the Breville Blender is not in use and before disassembling, cleaning and storing.
Hints & Tips
- If the volume (while blending) is below the maximum line, the inner measuring cap can be removed and oils/liquids can be added while blender is in use.
- Run the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required – do not over blend ingredients.
- Use the AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH button when food is too thick or coarse to circulatewithin the blender jug.
- Do not exceed the maximum mark when adding foods and liquids into the blender.
- Ingredients may stick to the sides of theblender jug. To push food back onto the blades, turn the blender off and unplug at the wall. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug, and continue blending.
- If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending, turn the blender off and unplug at the wall. Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
- When the blender has been running for 120 seconds, it will automatically turn off. This is a safety feature to protect the motor.
- A speed can be selected at any time, even while the blender is running.Press the new speed, and the blender will change operation immediately. The motor will still automatically turn off at 120 seconds total time running time.
- The maximum amount of ice cubes that the blender can process is 250g (approx. 1 standard ice tray).
Do’s
Use a combination of the blending speeds and AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH function to suit the foods being processed.Use the SMOOTHIE function to blend fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick smoothies, whips and milkshakes. Use the AUTO PULSE/ICE CRUSH function for foods that only require short bursts of power, such as chopping nuts and crushing ice.When blending drinks with ice cubes or frozen fruit, use the AUTO PULSE/ ICE CRUSH function.Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
Don’ts
Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage the blades or blender jug. Do not blend a heavy mixture for more than 10 seconds. For normal blending tasks, do not blend longer than 1 minute at a time. If you need to blend longer, turn off the blender and stir ingredients before starting again. This rest will help protect the motor from wear and tear.The blender will not knead dough, or mash potatoes. When blending warm ingredients, do not put more than 2 cups at a time in. Once blending has started, you can add another cup slowly by removing the inner lid and pouring through the hole.Do not blend hot or boiling ingredients. Allow food to cool down to a warm state before placing in the blender. This is to safeguard against sudden bursts of steam that are caused by blending hot ingredients, and it also protects the jug from possible damage.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM: EASY SOLUTION
Motor doesn’t start or blade doesn’t rotate:
- Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.
- Check the ON | OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.
- Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
Food is unevenly chopped:
- This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time.Try a smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary.
- The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller pieces. For best results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than 2cm.
Food is chopped too fine or is watery:
- Try blending for shorter period of time. Use the AUTO PULSE/ ICE CRUSH function for better control.
Food sticks to blade and jug:
- The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or using a slower speed for blending.
Blender overloaded (all lights flashing):
- This blender has overload protection to prevent damage to the motor. OVERLOAD PROTECTION will flash on the LCD. Unplug and allow the blender to cool down for 30 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use the blender as usual again.
- We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into smaller batches.
Care & Cleaning
Jug and lid
In order to keep your Jug clean and avoid food drying on the blades and jug, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use:
- Rinse most of the ingredients off the jug and lid.
- Add 500ml of warm water and press the AUTO CLEAN button. If thick or sticky ingredients require extra cleaning power add a few drops of dish liquid detergent.
- Rinse the jug and lid again and/or wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.
- It is most effective to clean the jug immediately after use.
WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your jug if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your blender jug immediately after processing citrus rind.
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
Dishwasher
The blender jug and lid can be washed in the dishwasher on a standard wash cycle. The jug can be placed on the bottom shelf, however the lid and inner measuring cap should be washed on the top shelf only. Be aware that washing parts on a regular base in the dishwasher can shorten the life of them due to prolonged exposure to harsh detergents, hot water and pressure.
Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain on the blender jug and lid. To remove, soak blender jug and lid for 5 minutes in warm soapy water. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Store jug with the lid off.
Storage
Store your blender upright with the blender jug assembled on the motor base, or beside it. Do not place anything on top. To allow air to circulate, keep the lid off.
