CARE AND CLEANING
1. Do not immerse the motor base in water
or any other liquid.
2. For speedy cleaning, when blending a
variety of foods in the Blender, half fill
the Blender with lukewarm water and a
small amount of detergent. Operate
briefly, rinse thoroughly and drain.
3. Clean thoroughly before storing. Unscrew
blade assembly and remove gasket and
blade assembly. (Refer to page 5 for
disassembling Glass Pitcher). Wash in
warm soapy water. Ensure gasket and
blade assembly are completely dry
before reassembling.
4. Wipe the motor base with a slightly damp
cloth. Do not immerse in water.
When grinding larger
spices such as nutmeg,
begin by using "pulse" and
speed "1" (low) to break
into smaller pieces, then
continue grinding using
speed "3" (high ).
If any moisture or liquid
appears on top of motor
base, wipe immediately
with paper towels.

QUANTITIES AND HANDY HINTS
Do not put more than 2 cups (500ml) of
warm ingredients into the Blender before
you begin blending. After the blending
process has begun and the blades are
turning you may slowly add another 1
1
⁄
cups
2
(375ml) of ingredients through the opening
in the lid if you desire, then replace lid.
Thick mixtures such as pates, puree more
efficiently if the Blender is
1
⁄
to
1
⁄
full.

2
For dry mixtures, use enough to just
cover the blades.
When using several ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the Glass Pitcher first.
When blending thick or dry mixtures it
may be necessary to stop the Blender and
scrape down the sides of the Glass Pitcher,
once or twice, during blending.
Your Blender is not designed to grind meat
or extract juice from fruit and vegetables.
SUGGESTED USES FOR YOUR BREVILLE BLENDER
Bread Crumbs:
Remove the crusts from the bread and tear
into pieces. Blend enough pieces at one time
to cover the blades. Up to 5 slices at one
time can be crumbed. Stale bread will
produce the best results.
Cracker Crumbs:
Break crackers into pieces. Blend enough
pieces at one time to cover the blades.
Chopped Nuts:
Blend
3
⁄
cup of nuts at a time. Use the
4
"PULSE" setting as this will give more
even chopping.
Drinks:
The Blender makes superb drinks. Fill the
container to at least
1
⁄
full, remember to
4
leave room to allow froth to form as the
drink is aerated.
Ground Coffee:
Coffee beans can be ground finely enough
for a percolator or for infusion, but not
finely enough for drip coffee maker or
espresso machine. Blend
1
⁄
cup (40g) beans
2
at a time.
Ice:
To crush ice, place 1 cup (125g) ice cubes
with
1
⁄
cup (60ml) water into the Glass
4
Pitcher, set speed to setting 3 and process
for approximately 15 seconds using the
"PULSE" setting. Up to 24 ice cubes can be
crushed at one time.
Soups, Sauces, Purees:
The most efficient amount to blend will
depend on the food/recipe used. However
generally, the more liquid used, the more
can be processed at one time. For drier
mixtures such as cooked vegetables without
added liquid, begin with enough food to
cover the blades and scrape sides regularly.
Whipped Cream:
Place 1
1
⁄
cup (375ml) cream with sugar
2
and vanilla into the Glass Pitcher. Blend
until thickened.
Mayonnaise:
Place egg yolks, mustard and vinegar in the
Glass Pitcher. Using speed "1" (low), blend
for 5 seconds. While Blender is running,
pour oil in a slow, steady stream through
hole in inverted inner lid (see page 4). Blend
until mixture is thick.
Batters:
Place liquid ingredients and then dry
ingredients into the Glass Pitcher. Using
speed "1-2" (depending on batter type) blend
until dry ingredients are moistened.
Pureed Vegetables:
Place chopped, warm cooked vegetables, up
to 1kg (2lbs) at a time with 1 cup (250ml) of
water into the Glass Pitcher. Using speed "3"
(high), blend until smooth.
