To clean the Breville VBL120, disassemble the jug and blades, and wash them with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reassembling. The jug and lid are dishwasher safe, but the blades should be hand washed.
Ensure that the blender is properly plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Check if the jug is correctly positioned on the base and that the lid is securely closed. If the problem persists, inspect the power cord for damage.
Yes, the Breville VBL120 can crush ice. It is recommended to use small ice cubes and blend in short pulses to prevent overloading the motor.
To prevent food from sticking, ensure that there is enough liquid in the jug while blending. Start with the lowest speed setting and gradually increase as needed. Regular cleaning of the blades also helps in reducing sticking.
Unusual noises may be due to an improperly assembled jug or lid. Ensure all parts are securely attached. Check for any obstructions in the blades. If the noise continues, the motor might be overloaded, so reduce the contents and blend in smaller batches.
The maximum capacity for blending liquids in the Breville VBL120 is 1.5 liters. Do not exceed this limit to avoid overflow and ensure optimal blending performance.
To maintain blade sharpness, avoid blending hard substances like bones or uncut frozen ingredients. Regularly cleaning the blades and ensuring they are dry before storage will also help maintain their condition.
The blender may stop if it overheats or is overloaded. Allow the motor to cool down for at least 15 minutes and reduce the quantity or density of the contents before attempting to blend again.
Blades should be replaced if they become dull or damaged. Regular users might consider replacing them every 6 to 12 months, while occasional users may find them lasting longer.
It is not recommended to blend hot liquids directly in the Breville VBL120 as the pressure buildup can cause the lid to dislodge. Allow hot liquids to cool slightly before blending.
