Breville BLEND-ACTIVE user manual

Yes, you can put ice in a Breville Blend Active. It is powerful enough to crush ice, but it is always recommended to use smaller ice cubes or partially thawed ice to prevent any potential damage to the blender.

The red light blinking on your Breville Blend-Active blender could indicate a few different things. Here are some possible reasons:
1. Overload: If the blender is being used for an extended period or the ingredients are too heavy, the blender can overload, causing the red light to blink. This is a safety feature to prevent the motor from getting damaged. In this case, you should stop using the blender, unplug it, and let it cool down before trying again with smaller batches or lighter ingredients.
2. Poor connection: The red light may blink if the blending cup is not securely attached to the base. Make sure the cup is properly aligned, twisted, and locked into place before starting the blender. If the cup is not attached correctly, the blender won't start, and the red light will blink.
3. Lid or seal issue: If the blender lid or seal is not properly in place, the red light may blink, and the blender won't start. Ensure that the lid is tightly secured and that the seal is intact. Otherwise, the blender's safety mechanism will prevent it from operating.
If none of these reasons seem to apply, consult your Breville blender's user manual or contact Breville's customer support for further assistance.

To clean the Breville Blend Active, you can follow these steps:
1. Unplug the blender from the power source and disassemble the parts. Remove the blending bottle, blending blade, and sealing lid.
2. Rinse the blending bottle, blade assembly, and sealing lid under warm water to remove any leftover residue.
3. Fill the blending bottle halfway with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap.
4. Screw on the sealing lid tightly and place the blending bottle back onto the blender base.
5. Start the blender and let it run for about 20-30 seconds to thoroughly clean the blending bottle and the blade assembly.
6. Turn off and unplug the blender, then carefully disassemble the parts once again.
7. Rinse all the parts under warm water to remove any remaining soap residue.
8. If needed, use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the blending bottle, blade assembly, and sealing lid.
9. Once all parts are cleaned, let them air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
Note: Do not immerse the blender base in water or any other liquid. It can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

The Breville Blend Active comes with 2x 600ml portable bottles. These bottles are compatible with the blender and can be used to blend and drink on the go. Additionally, Breville also offers 300ml and 450ml bottle accessories that are compatible with the Blend Active blender. These smaller bottles are useful for individual portions or for storing smaller quantities of blended ingredients.
