Tips on how to best use your Breville Powermax
7
Do
• Speed 1 (low speed) is best for emulsions such as
mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods which
require mixing until just combined, such as batters.
• Speed 2 (high speed) is best for pureeing,
crumbing, thickening, creaming and grinding.
• Use Pulse for foods that only require short bursts of
power such as herbs, nuts and ice.
• Ensure all parts have been thoroughly washed and
dried before assembly.
• Ensure the blender is correctly assembled before
operating (see page 5).
• Ensure base of jug is thoroughly dry before placing
onto blender base before use.
• Ensure the blender is placed on a clean, dry surface
to operate.
• Liquids should be placed into blender before solid
ingredients, except where specified in recipes.
• All foods should be cut into cubes (approx. 2-3cm
square) to achieve an even result.
• When required use a plastic or rubber spatula to
wipe food down sides of jug when blender is in the
OFF position and has been switched off at power
outlet. Ensure blades have stopped rotating.
Do not use metal utensils as they may damage the
blades or jug.
• Ensure lid is locked on jug firmly and the inner lid
is in position before operating blender. Do not
operate blender without the lid on. To add
additional ingredients whilst blending remove inner
lid and place ingredients through the opening in
the middle of the lid.
• When crushing ice, add 1 cup of water as this will
aid in the ice crushing process. Continue pulsing
until the ice is completely crushed and has a snow
flake texture.
Don’t
• Do not blend dry, thick or heavy mixture for more
than 60 seconds without turning off the blender
and stirring the ingredients, then continue blending.
For normal blending tasks, eg. Mayonnaise,
dressings etc., do not operate for longer than 3
minutes at one time.
• Do not place any objects, other than food, into
the jug whilst the motor is running.
• Do not use the jug to store food.
• As air does not circulate when blending, the
blender will not beat egg whites, knead dough
or mash potatoes.
• Never remove the jug while the blender is
operating. Always switch off at the power outlet
before removing jug.
• Overloading the blender with more than the
specified quantity could cause the motor to stall,
turn the blender OFF, unplug from power outlet and
remove a portion of the mixture before continuing.
• Do not exceed the maximum liquid level of
1.25 litres.
• Do not process boiling liquids or hot ingredients,
let them cool before placing into the jug.
Operating your Breville Powermax
Before first use
Remove all promotional labels and wash the blender
jug in warm, soapy water.
Dry thoroughly.
1. Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface and
ensure that the Powermax is unplugged and the
speed control dial is set to the OFF position.
2. Place jug on motor base.
3. Add food or liquid into the blender jug and place
the lid (with removable inner lid locked into
place) firmly on top of the jug and turn clockwise
until it locks into position.
4. Plug into a 230/240v power outlet and
switch ‘ON’.
5. Turn the speed control dial to the required speed
(1 or 2) to commence blending. The speed can be
changed at any time during the blending process.
For ingredients that require short bursts of power,
use the PULSE setting, ideal for grinding chocolate,
crushing ice, grinding herbs and nuts.
The maximum liquid capacity is 1.25 litres. Do
not add liquids past this measurement indicated
on the side of the blender jug.
Note
6. To add liquid ingredients through the inner lid,
such as oil, during blending, turn the inner lid
anti-clockwise until it has unlocked and then
remove. Once the ingredients have been added,
line up the two locking lugs with the grooves in
the lid. Insert the inner lid and turn it clockwise
until it has locked into place.
7. During the blending process, you may find that
ingredients stick to the sides of the blender jug.
To push the food back onto the blades, turn the
speed selector dial to the OFF position and switch
off at the power outlet. Use a plastic spatula to
scrape down the sides of the jug before
recommencing blending.
If any moisture or liquid appears on top of
the motor base, wipe immediately with
paper towelling.
Note
6
NEVER PLACE ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOOD AND LIQUIDS IN THE POWERMAX WHILST THE
MOTOR IS RUNNING. NEVER REMOVE THE BLENDER JUG FROM THE MOTOR BASE UNLESS THE
BLENDER IS SWITCHED TO OFF AND THE BLADES HAVE STOPPED. OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE
DRIVE COUPLING MAY OCCUR.
