4. Rotate the speed control dial to the desired speed. Use the speed selector table on page 14 as a guide for juicing different fruit and vegetables.

For your convenience, a juicing speed guide is also printed on the inside of the Pulp Container.

NOTE

The SMOOTHIE, ICE and PULSE settings can only be selected when the appliance is assembled as a blender.

5. Push the START | STOP button. With the motor running and while the

Food Pusher, gently guide food down the Feed Chute. Do not exert excess pressure. To extract the maximum amount of juice, always push the Food

Pusher down slowly.

IMPORTANT:

Do not load the Feed Chute with food until the motor is running.

TIPS

• A small amount of lemon juice can be added to the fruit and/or vegetables to inhibit browning.

• When juicing herbs, sprouts or leafy green vegetables, either wrap them together to form a bundle or juice them in the middle of a combination of ingredients on low speed to obtain the best extraction.

If only juicing herbs or leafy green vegetables, the juice yield will be low due to the nature of centrifugal juicing. It is advised to juice them with a combination of other fruits and vegetables.

• When juicing different ingredients of varying textures, start with the softer textured ingredients on low speed then change to high speed for harder textured ingredients. This assists in extracting the maximum amount of juice by clearing the

Filter Basket between ingredients.

6. As fruits and vegetables are processed, juice will flow into the Juice Jug and the separated pulp will accumulate in the

Pulp Container.

NOTE

The Pulp Container can be emptied during juicing by turning the Juice

Extractor off and then carefully removing the Pulp Container. Replace the empty Pulp Container into position before continuing to juice.

Do not allow the Pulp Container to over-fill as this may affect the operation of the appliance.

15


7. Immediately after each use, use the provided nylon brush to thoroughly clean the fine mesh holes of the Filter

Basket and rinse the remaining removable parts under running water.

For more cleaning information, refer to ‘Cleaning the Juice Extractor’ on page 20.

PROBLEM

Motor appears to stall when juicing

EASy SOLUTION

• The Electronic Protection device will automatically de-activate the motor if the motor is stalled. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and clear the

Feed Chute. Either too much food is being processed at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try trimming food, cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and/or processing a smaller amount per batch. Then reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence normal use (see page 16).

• Ensure the motor is running before loading the Feed

Chute with food.

• Wet pulp can build up under the Juicer Cover if the juicing action is too vigorous. Stop the juicing process and remove the power cord from the wall outlet. Clean the Juicer Cover, Filter Bowl Surround and Filter Basket. Reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence juicing with a slower juicing action by pushing the Food Pusher down more slowly.

• Hard fruits and vegetables will put excess strain onto the motor if a low speed is selected. Refer to the speed selector table on page 14 to determine the recommended speed for the selected fruits and vegetables.

Excess pulp building up in the mesh of the Filter Basket

• Stop the juicing process and remove the power cord from the wall outlet. Clean the Juicer Cover,

Filter Bowl Surround and Filter Basket. Reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence juicing.

10-20 seconds. Remove the Blender

Jug and discard the contents. Rinse the

Blender Jug with warm water until clean.

Dry thoroughly.

OR

• Immediately place these parts in the dishwasher on a normal cycle. Remove the Blade Assembly with the Silicone

Gasket still in place, from the Blender

Jug. Disassemble the Silicone Gasket from the Blade Assembly and place both parts on the top shelf of the dishwasher with the Lid and Inner Lid. The Blender

Jug should be turned upside down (with the jug spout facing downwards) to prevent the dishwasher’s heating element from damaging the Blender Jug base.

WARNING


2. Wipe the Motor base with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners when cleaning the Motor Base as these may scratch the surface. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

BLENdING TIPS

for your Breville Blender

BLENdING TIPS

• Use low speeds (1-3 – MIX, CHOP and BLEND) for emulsions such as mayonnaise, dressings and marinades.

• Use high speeds (4-5 – LIQUIFY and

PUREE) for pureeing soups and aerating liquids.

• Use the SMOOTHIE setting for drink making using both liquid and solid ingredients.

• Use the ICE setting for ice crushing.

Process up to one standard ice cube tray or 12-14 standard ice cubes at one time. The type of ice used will affect the consistency of the crushed ice. To create even, powdery snow for icy drinks and cocktails, use large, solid, dry ice that has come straight from the freezer

(-5.6ºC/22ºF, or below). Small, slightly melted or hollow ice may result in a coarser ice, perfect for use as a base for fresh oysters.

• Use the PULSE setting for foods that only require short bursts of power such as chopping nuts.

• Use the 30ml (1oz) Inner Lid to measure and add ingredients while blending. Remove the Inner Lid and add ingredients while on speeds 1/MIX, 2/

CHOP or 3/BLEND. When operating at higher speeds; with a Blender Jug filled at or near the ‘MAX’ line; or with hot contents - stop the Blender before adding ingredients.

• Make sure all foods are cut into cubes, approx. 2cm (¾ inch squares) to achieve an even result.

• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Blending Jug is 1/4 to 1/2 full.

• When using several ingredients, place liquid ingredients in the Blender Jug before solid ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.

• Do not use the Blender to mix dense, heavy mixtures like dough or mash potatoes. Other, less thick but heavy mixtures may be blended, however depending on the foods being processed, may activate one of the motor protection devices as a safety precaution (see page

36). For this reason, we recommend that heavy mixtures are only blended for 30 second intervals before turning off the

Blender and stirring the ingredients with a plastic spatula. For normal blending tasks, we recommend only blending for up to 1 minute intervals to prevent overprocessing.

• Do not operate the Blender without the

Lid in position.

• Do not fill the Blender Jug above the

'MAX' line. When filled at or near the

‘MAX’ line, ensure to place one hand on the Lid to avoid displacement during operation.

• Do not place any objects, other than food or liquid, into the Blender Jug while the motor is running.

• Do not place boiling ingredients into the Blender Jug. Allow ingredients to cool slightly. Select speed 1/MIX initially, then increase to a higher speed if necessary.

• Do not use the Blender Jug to store food.

BLENdER TROUBLEShOOTING

PROBLEM

Blender will not work or suddenly switches off during juicing

EASy SOLUTION

• Check that the power plug is securely inserted into wall outlet.

• Insert the power plug into an independent outlet.

• Insert the power plug into a different outlet.

• Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.

• Ensure the Safety Locking Arm is in the upright position and is securely locked into the two grooves on either side of the Blender Jug base (see page 32).

• The Overload Protection may have automatically de-activated the motor. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and press the OVERLOAD RESET button found on the underside of the Motor Base.

This will reset the Overload Protection, enabling you to reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence normal use (see page 36).

• The Overheat Protection may have automatically de-activated the motor. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes. Insufficient cooling time may result in the motor de-activating again. After sufficient cooling time, reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence normal use (see page 36).

• The Electronic Protection may have automatically de-activated the motor. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Either too much food is being blended at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try removing a portion of the mixture, cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and/ or processing a smaller amount per batch. For best results the food should be chopped into pieces no larger than 2cm (¾ inch). Then reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence normal use

(see page 36).


PROBLEM

Motor appears to stall

Food is unevenly chopped

Food is chopped too fine or is watery

Food sticks to blade

Ice is not chopping to desired consistency

EASy SOLUTION

• One of the protection devices will be activated if the motor stalls from overloading or overheating.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Either too much food is being blended at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try trimming food, cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and/ or processing a smaller amount per batch. You may even need to remove a portion of the mixture from the Blender Jug before reconnecting the power cord to the wall outlet and recommencing normal use (see page 36).

• Either too much food is being chopped at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and/or processing a smaller amount per batch. For best results the food should be chopped into pieces no larger than 2cm

(¾ inch).

• The food has been over-processed. Use the PULSE setting or process for a shorter time.

• Too much food is being blended at one time. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and remove a portion of the mixture with a plastic spatula before recommencing normal use.

• The mixture being blended is very thick. Thick mixtures blend more efficiently if the Blending Jug is 1/4 to 1/2 full. You may need to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and use a plastic spatula to occasionally stir or scrape down the sides of the

Blender Jug.

• Use the ICE setting for ice crushing. Process up to one standard ice cube tray or 12-14 standard ice cubes at one time. The type of ice used will affect the consistency of the crushed ice. To create even, powdery snow for icy drinks and cocktails, use large, solid, dry ice that has come straight from the freezer

(-5.6ºC/22ºF, or below). Small, slightly melted or hollow ice may result in a coarser ice, perfect for use as a base for fresh oysters.

PROBLEM

Blender Jug is leaking

Blender Jug smells

Red light flashing

EASy SOLUTION

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before removing the Blender Jug from the Motor Base.

Check that the Removable Silicone Gasket is securely attached to the Blade Assembly. Then insert the Blade Assembly into the Blender Jug base and turn clockwise until securely locked into position

(see Assembling the Blender, page 31)

• To remove strong odors, for example, from garlic, fish and some vegetables, disassemble the Blender

Jug (see Disassembling the Blender, page 37) and soak the parts for 10 minutes in warm soapy water.

Then wash with a mild detergent and a cleaning brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Always ensure the Blender Jug is thoroughly cleaned immediately after each use (see Cleaning the Blender, page 39).

• The Overheat Protection may have automatically de-activated the motor. If this occurs, the START

| STOP button surround will flash red. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes. Insufficient cooling time may result in the motor de-activating again. After sufficient cooling time, reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence normal use (see page 36).

• The Electronic Protection may have automatically de-activated the motor. If this occurs, the START

| STOP button surround will flash red. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Either too much food is being blended at one time or the pieces are not small enough. Try removing a portion of the mixture, cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and/or processing a smaller amount per batch. For best results the food should be chopped into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (2cm). Then reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and recommence normal use (see page 36).

LAyEREd COCKTAIL

Makes 2 serving

Layering, also known as floating or stacking, uses the different densities of various liquids to create an attractive array of colored layers. Pouring these drinks is easier than you might think: you just need to know the specific gravity of each liquid you’re working with, and pour them in order from heaviest to lightest. Liqueurs with the most dissolved sugar and the least alcohol are densest and are put at the bottom. These include fruit juices and cream liqueurs. Those with the least water and the most alcohol, such as rum with 75% alcohol by volume, are floated on top

vEGETABLE ANd BACON SOUP

Serves 4

The remaining pulp left after juicing fruit or vegetables is mostly fiber and cellulose which, like the juice, contains vital nutrients necessary for the daily diet. However, like the juice, pulp should be used that day to avoid loss of vitamins. Some of the uses of pulp are to thicken casseroles or soups or in the case of fruit, simply placed in a bowl topped with meringue and baked for a simple dessert. Quite apart from the consumption use, pulp is great used in the garden for compost.
