Tips on how to best use your
Breville ikon 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 (4-5 – Liquify and Puree) for
pureeing soups and aerating liquids.
• Use ‘PULSE’ for foods that only require short bursts
of power such as chopping nuts.
• Use ‘ICE CRUSH’ for ice crushing. The maximum
amount of ice cubes the blender can blend at any
one time is 1 standard ice tray or 9 oz.
• Use ‘SMOOTHIE’ for drink making using both liquid
and solid ingredients
• 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 ikon 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
ikon 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 ikon 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.
• To create even, powdery snow for flavored ice
drinks, use large dry ice that has come straight
from the freezer, then simply blend on 'SNOW'.

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 ikon Hemisphere Blender and stirring
the ingredients, and then continue blending.
• Do not operate the Breville ikon 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 ikon 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
ikon 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 ikon Hemisphere
Blender with more than the specified quantity of
ingredients as doing so could cause the motor to
stall. Turn the Breville ikon 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 ikon Hemisphere Blender; allow to cool
before placing into the blender pitcher.
