Hints & Tips
Do's
• 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 PULSE button when food is too thick
or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when
adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the
blender 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.
• To stop blending at any time or during
the SMOOTHIE program, press the
CANCEL button.
• When the blender has been running for
60 seconds, it will automatically turn off.
This is a safety feature to protect the motor.
• A speed or function can be selected at any
time, even while the blender is running.
Press the new speed or program, 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).
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 or 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 or PULSE function
for foods that only require short bursts of
power.
Use the ICE CRUSH or 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.
