Operating Time; Charging Base - Breville BCS500XL Mode D'emploi

Operating your Breville Cordless Hand Blender
Overload and low voltage protection
The Cordless Hand Blender is fitted with an
automatic cut-out that will operate if the appliance is
overloaded. This is to protect the motor and battery
from excessive heat build up. The cut-out is only
momentary, and the appliance can then be
re-started. If this automatic cut-out occurs, reduce
the volume of food being mixed and process in
smaller amounts.
The Cordless Hand Blender is fitted with a second
automatic cut-out that operates when the battery
starts to become flat. This protection is necessary
because applying high loads to flat rechargeable cells
reduces their life. If your appliance cuts out without
being overloaded, return it to the charging base until
sufficiently recharged.

Operating time

The actual operating time of the appliance will
vary significantly with the types and quantities of
food being processed, but is typically over 10
minutes with a new, fully charged battery under
average conditions.
Battery charging procedures
1. Plug the charger plug attached to the charging
base into a 110/120 volt power outlet.
2. Place the Cordless Hand Blender motor body into
the charging base, making sure that it firmly sits
in the charging base and the red charging light
illuminates. Your Cordless Hand Blender will
begin charging. When the battery is fully charged
the charging light will change to green.
3. To maintain the charge in the motor body, keep
the charging base plugged into a standard power
outlet. When charging, the charger plug may be
warm to the touch – this is normal. It is
impossible to overcharge the battery because the
Cordless Hand Blender is designed with
overcharge protection circuitry.

Charging base

The charging base recharges the Cordless Hand
Blender and stores the smoothie attachment and
excess cord from the charging base (see Fig. 1). The
charging base can be mounted on the wall (see Fig.
2) or placed on a horizontal surface such as a
counter or shelf.
Fig 2
The Cordless Hand Blender is equipped with a
compact charger plug. It takes up a minimum of
space around the power cord. When plugged in, the
charger plug will always remain warm, even after the
charge light changes from red to green.
The charging base stores the excess cord from the
charging base. Simply pull the excessive cord until
the desired length is achieved. The excess cord
can be wrapped inside the cavity under the
charging base.
If you choose to wall mount the charging base,
please follow these steps:
1. Select a convenient position within 3ft (1m)
of an electrical outlet. If the charging base is to
be mounted closer to an outlet, wrap any excess
cord in the cavity under the charging base.
2. Place the wall mount against the wall in the
desired position to mark the drill holes for the
screws (see Fig. 3).

3. Drill a 0.2 inch (5mm) diameter hole through the
center of each drill hole mark. Push a plastic wall
anchor into each drilled hole.
4. Insert a screw into each drilled hole and turn
until the screw heads are 0.1 inch (3mm) above
the wall surface.
5. Slide the wall mount onto the screws and attach
the charging base to the wall mount.
The Cordless Hand Blender features a unique safety
switch to ensure the appliance does not operate
accidentally. To activate the Cordless Hand Blender,
