Tips on how to best use your Breville
Hemisphere Blender
Do
• Use Low speeds (1-3 - Snow, Mix and Blend) for
drink or cocktail making and emulsions such as
mayonnaise, dressings, marinades and foods that
require mixing until just combined, such as batters.
• Use High speeds (Liquify and Smoothie) for
pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
• Use ‘AUTO PULSE’ for foods that only require
short bursts of power such as ice crushing or
chopping nuts.
• Use Speed 1 / Snow or AUTO PULSE for ice
crushed creations. The maximum amount of ice
cubes the blender can blend at any one time is 1
standard ice try or 9 oz.
• Make sure all foods are cut into cubes (approx. 1
inch squares) where appropriate to achieve an
even result.
• Do not put more than 2 cups of warm ingredients
into the Breville Hemisphere Blender before
blending. After the blending process has begun and
the blades are turning you may slowly add another
1
1 / 2 cups of ingredients through the opening in the
lid if desired.
• Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if the Breville
Hemisphere Blender is
1 / 4 to 1 / 2 full.
• When using several ingredients, place liquid
ingredients in the blender pitcher before solid
ingredients, unless specified in the recipe.
• When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be
necessary to stop the Breville Hemisphere Blender
and scrape down the sides of the blender pitcher
with a plastic or rubber spatula, once or twice
during blending. Do not use metal utensils as they
may damage the blades or blender pitcher.
Don’t
• Do not operate a heavy mixture for more than 10
seconds. For normal blending tasks, for example,
mayonnaise, dressings etc., do not operate for
longer than 1 minute at a time without turning off
the Breville Hemisphere Blender and stirring the
ingredients, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the Breville Hemisphere Blender
without having the blender lid in position. To add
additional ingredients while blending, remove the
inner lid and place ingredients through the opening
in the lid.
• Do not fill the blender pitcher above the 'MAX' line.
When the blender pitcher is filled at or near the
'MAX' line, place one hand on the blender lid to
avoid displacement of the lid during operation.
• Do not place any objects, other than food or
liquid, into the Breville Hemisphere Blender while
the motor is running.
• Do not use the blender pitcher to store food.
• The blender will not knead dough or
mash potatoes.
• Do not remove the blender pitcher while the Breville
Hemisphere Blender is operating. Always make
sure the blender is off by pressing the ‘Power’
button, turn off the power at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
• Do not overload the Breville Hemisphere Blender
with more than the specified quantity of ingredients
as doing so could cause the motor to stall. Turn the
Breville Hemisphere Blender off by pressing the
‘Power’ button on the control panel, turn off the
power at the power outlet and unplug the cord.
Remove a portion of the mixture from the blender
pitcher before continuing.
• Do not place hot or boiling ingredients into the
Breville Hemisphere Blender; allow to cool before
placing into the blender pitcher.
