Hints And Tips - Breville VBL139 Instructions For Use Manual

CLEANING
THE BLADES HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES. TAKE CARE
WHEN HANDLING OR CLEANING THEM.
• All components of the accessory pack are dishwasher safe,
except for the food processor blade housing
• To clean the blade housing, half fill the food processor bowl
with warm soapy water, then fit the chopping blade and blade
housing to the bowl. Fit the food processor onto the motor
unit as described in the section How to use the compact food
processor. Press and hold the blend button on the motor unit for
10–20 seconds. Wipe the upper surface of the blade housing to
remove excess water, and dry thoroughly.
• To remove stubborn food deposits on the chopping blade and
whipping disc, carefully use a cleaning brush.
STORAGE
Store your accessory pack in its packing or in a clean, dry
place. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before storing and

HINTS AND TIPS

• You may notice lingering food smells after processing strong
smelling ingredients. Put 200ml warm water and a couple
of lemon slices into the food processor bowl. Blend for 10
seconds, discard the contents and rinse with clean water. Dry
and store with the bowl loosely fitted to allow air to circulate.
• You can use your food processor for blending homemade soup.
Ensure soup is cool before blending, and do not exceed the
450ml capacity.
• Blending homemade baby food to purées is easy using the food
processor. Simply blend to your desired consistency.
• Certain hard foods are tough to blend (carrots, hard cheeses,
chocolate, rosemary leaves, etc). We recommend that you chop
these foods into small pieces before blending.
• Some food, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the food
processor bowl. To remove stains, make a paste of 2 tbsp
baking powder and 1 tbsp warm water. Apply the paste to the
stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse with warm, soapy water and
dry.

• When processing onions, best results are obtained by
positioning the onion quarters evenly in the food processor
bowl, a gentle shake will ensure they drop onto the blade.
• To save time, why not process a whole bulb of garlic at a time?
This can easily be stored for up to a week in a closed container
in your refrigerator. Simply peel each clove and process all
together for few seconds.
• Try blending whole peeled garlic cloves and a handful of
parsley together, mash into some softened butter with a touch
of seasoning. Spread generously onto some ciabatta bread
before baking.
• Quick and easy dessert ideas: blitz some fresh berries in the
food processor and add a touch of icing sugar to sweeten; make
some crêpes and whipped cream with the whipping disc and top
with some chopped nuts.
