Chopper Attachment Specifics

• Don't touch the sharp blades.
• Remove the chopper blade before emptying the bowl.
• Never remove the cover until the chopper blade has completely stopped.
• Always hold the chopper blade by the finger grip away from the cutting blades, both when handling and cleaning.

Important Usage Notes

Key and Parts

Before plugging in, make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one shown on the hand blender.

Important Plug and Fuse Information:

• The wires in the cord are coloured as follows: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
• If the plug supplied with your appliance has a fuse fitted, it is rated either 10A or 13A. If the fuse fails, it must be replaced with one of the same rating.
• If the plug or cord requires replacing, a new cord set should be fitted by an Authorised Kenwood Repairer.
• For non-rewireable plugs, 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.
• If a non-rewireable 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 13A socket outlet.
• This appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

Before using for the first time:

• Throw away the blade cover from the chopper blade as it is there to protect the blade during manufacture and transit only. Take care as the blades are very sharp.
• Wash all parts - see "Care and Cleaning".
