timer screen will illuminate and count  
upwards in one second increments during  
pulsing. Press the ‘PULSE’ button in short  
bursts until blending is complete.  
• Never place anything other than  
food and liquids in the blender

HINTS & TIPS  
PROBLEM  
EASy SOLUTION  
Motor doesn’t start or blade  
doesn’t rotate  
Check that the blender jug and lid are securely into  
position.  
Check that the ‘Power’ button and selected function or  
speed setting is illuminated.  
Check that the power plug is securely inserted into the  
power outlet and switched on.  
Food is unevenly chopped  
Either too much food is being blended at one time or  
the pieces are too large. Try cutting food into smaller  
pieces of even size and processing a smaller amount  
per batch.  
For best results, the food should be chopped into pieces  
no larger than 2cm.  
Food is chopped too fine or  
is watery  
Blend for shorter period of time. Use ‘PULSE’ function  
for more control.  
Food sticks to blade and jug  
Blender Overloaded  
The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid  
to the mixture and / or use a slower speed.  
®
The Breville Kinetix Blender features a motor  
protection feature. If the motor is being overloaded the  
motor will stop and the overload warning icon on the  
LCD will start to flash. Once the icon stops flashing the  
blender has now cooled down and you will be able to  
use the blender as per instructions. At this point the  
blender will be in standby mode and you will only need  
to press the function / button that you require to start  
blending again. However if you have turned the blender  
off you will need to switch it back on and only if the  
icon has stop flashing commence blending as usual.  
• We recommend removing a portion of the mixture,  
cutting food into smaller pieces or processing smaller  
amounts per batch.

HINTS & TIPS  
don'ts  
dO’S ANd dON’TS  
do’s  
Do not use metal utensils as they may  
damage the blades or blender jug.  
Use the function 3 - 4 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.  
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 2  
minutes at one time without turning  
off the Breville Blender and stirring the  
ingredients, and then continue blending.  
Use a combination of the  
Blend/Pulse functions to suit the foods  
being processed.  
Do not operate the Breville Blender  
without having the blender lid in position.  
To add additional ingredients during  
blending, remove the inner lid and place  
ingredients through the opening in the lid.  
Use the Smoothie function to blend  
fruits, ice cream and yogurts into thick  
smoothies, whips and milkshakes.  
Do not place any objects, other than food  
or liquid, into the Breville Blender while  
the motor is running.  
Use the Ice Crush function for foods that  
only require short bursts of power such as  
chopping nuts and crushing ice.  
Do not use the blender jug to store food.  
Use the Ice Crush function with short  
bursts of power, when blending drinks  
containing ice cubes or frozen fruit.  
The blender will not knead dough or mash  
potatoes.  
Ensure all foods are cut into cubes  
(approx. 2cm square) where appropriate to  
achieve an even result.  
Do not remove the blender jug while  
the Breville Blender is operating. Always  
make sure the blender is switched off by  
pressing the ‘Power’ button, switch off  
the power at the power outlet and unplug  
the power cord from the power outlet.  
Do not put more than 2 cups of warm  
ingredients into the blender 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.  
Do not overload the Breville Blender  
with more than the specified quantity of  
ingredients as doing so could cause the  
motor to stall. Once the icon stops flashing  
the blender has now cooled down and  
you will be able to use the blender as per  
instructions. At this point the blender  
will be in standby mode and you will only  
need to press the function/button that you  
require to start blending again. However  
if you have turned the blender off you will  
need to switch it back on and only if the  
icon has stop flashing commence blending  
as usual.  
Thick mixtures puree more efficiently if  
the Breville 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 Blender and scrape down  
the sides of the blender jug with a plastic  
or rubber spatula, once or twice during  
blending.  
Do not place hot or boiling ingredients  
into the Breville Blender; allow to cool  
before placing into the blender jug.

CARE & CLEANING

for your Breville Kinetix Control  
 
CARE & CLEANING  
When cleaning the blender jug it is always  
a good idea to clean straight away to avoid  
food sticking to the blades and jug. Placing  
about 200ml of warm soapy water into the  
jug with the lid on and inner lid in place you  
can blend this water for 5-10 seconds on a  
low speed which will help clean the blades  
and jug. Then rinse jug in cold water and dry  
thoroughly.  
dISASSEMBLING yOUR BLENdER  
FOR CLEANING  
Step 1.
