Safety Precautions

• Read instructions carefully and retain for future reference.
• Before first use, remove all packaging and labels, including plastic blade covers. Wash parts as per 'Cleaning' instructions.
• If the plug or cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Kenwood or an authorized repairer to avoid hazards.
• Blades are sharp; handle with care. Always hold the knife blade at the top, away from the cutting edge, when handling, emptying, or cleaning.
• DO NOT process hot ingredients.
• Be cautious when pouring hot liquid into the mini chopper bowl, as it can be ejected due to sudden steaming.
• Always switch off and disconnect the appliance from the power supply before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning if left unattended.
• When processing heavy loads (e.g., meat), do not operate continuously for longer than 15 seconds. Allow to cool for 2 minutes between each 15-second operation.
• Do not exceed maximum capacities stated in the processing guide (refer to illustrations R & S).
• Always wait for the blades to stop completely before removing the power unit from the bowl.
• Always remove the knife blade(s) before emptying or pouring contents from the bowl.
• Never use a damaged appliance. Get it checked or repaired (see 'Service and customer care').
• Never let the power unit, cord, or plug get wet.
• Do not let excess cord hang over the edge of a table or worktop, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not operate the food chopper if the bowl is empty.
• Never operate the food chopper with the bowl filled with liquid.
• Do not use the bowl as a storage container.

• Ensure the cord is fully unfolded from the cord storage compartment before using the appliance.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved.

• Only use the appliance for its intended domestic use. Kenwood will not accept any liability if the appliance is subject to improper use or failure to comply with these instructions.
• The maximum rating is based on the chopper bowl attachment that draws the greatest load. Other attachments may draw less power.

Grinding Mill

Dried turmeric should not be ground alone; it should be processed with a minimum of 25g of ground/whole spices or other additional ingredients.

Never fit the blade assembly to the power unit without the lid fitted.

Never unscrew the lid while the mill is fitted to the power unit.

Do not touch the sharp blades – Keep the blade assembly away from children.

Never remove the mill until the blades have completely stopped.

The appliance will not work if the mill is incorrectly fitted.

Do not process hot ingredients in the mill; allow to cool down to room temperature before processing.

Cleaning

Refer to Illustrations T.

Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.

Do not immerse the power unit in water. Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry.

Handle the blade with care – it is extremely sharp.

Wash the parts by hand, then dry. Alternatively, they can be washed in your dishwasher.

The parts are unsuitable for use in a Steam Steriliser. Instead, use a sterilising solution in accordance with the sterilising solutions manufacturer's instructions.

Before Plugging In

Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one shown on the underside of the power unit.

Important – Plug and Fuse Information

The wires in the cord are coloured as follows: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.

If the plug is cut off, it must be DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock hazard may arise if an unwanted non-rewireable plug is inadvertently inserted into a socket outlet.

If the plug supplied with your appliance has a fuse fitted and the fuse fails, it must be replaced with one of the same rating.

Note:

For non-rewireable Plug Type G, the fuse cover MUST be refitted when replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost, then the plug must not be used until a replacement can be obtained. The correct fuse cover is identified by colour and a replacement may be obtained from your Kenwood Authorised Repairer (see Service).

This appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

• If preparing food for babies or young children, always check that the ingredients are thoroughly processed before feeding.

1. Place the power unit on a clean, flat surface.
2. Fit the chopper bowl onto the power unit, turn clockwise to lock into place.
3. Fit the knife blade into the bowl over the in bowl drive shaft.
4. Cut food into suitable sized pieces and place into the bowl, refer to the recommended usage chart R S.

9. To switch off the unit, press the On/Off button. Unplug after use.
10. Reverse the above procedure to dismantle the unit.

Hints and Tips

• If the chopper labours, remove some of the mixture and continue processing in several batches, otherwise you may strain the motor.
• Chopping hard foods such as coffee beans, spices, chocolate, or ice will wear the knife blades faster.
• Beware of over processing some ingredients. Stop and check the consistency frequently.
• Some spices such as cloves and cumin seeds can have an adverse effect on the plastic of your food chopper.
• To ensure even processing, stop and scrape down the bowl.
• The best results are obtained by cutting food into small pieces and chopping small quantities at a time.
• Herbs will chop better when clean and dry.
• For breadcrumbs, the best results are achieved with stale bread.

To Use Your Grinding Mill

Refer to Illustrations I - M

IMPORTANT

• Dried Turmeric should not be ground by itself; it should be processed with a minimum of 25g of ground/whole spices or other ingredients.
• Dried Turmeric should be broken into 10mm pieces before processing. Processing must follow a minimum of 5-10 pulses before continuous processing is started.

1. Place your ingredients into the blade assembly.
2. Fit the lid and turn clockwise to lock.
3. Place the mill onto the power unit and turn clockwise to lock.
4. Press the On/Off button or use the pulse (P).

Hints and Tips

• Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices, so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
• To release the maximum flavour and essential oils, whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
• Cut ginger and coconut into small pieces before processing.
• For best results, the main bowl is recommended when chopping herbs.
