• Do not move appliance whilst in operation.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacities stated in the recommended usage chart.
• Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 seconds when processing dough without a rest period. Processing continuously for longer periods can damage your appliance.
• Always remove the knife blade before pouring contents from the bowl.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the processor bowl whilst connected to the power supply. If food needs to be pushed down use a suitable utensil such as a spatula.
• Always switch off the appliance and disconnect from the supply if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
• CAUTION: Before removing the lid from the bowl wait until the attachment/blades have completely stopped.
• Never use your fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the pusher supplied.
• Do not use excessive force to push food down the feed tube – you could damage your appliance.
• Do not use the lid lock to operate the processor, always use the on/off speed control.
• Do not operate the processor with both the knife blade and disc fitted. Use only one attachment at a time.
• This appliance will be damaged and may cause injury if the interlock mechanism is subjected to excessive force.
• Never use an unauthorised attachment.
• 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.

• Misuse of your processor, blender or mill can result in injury.

Express Serve

• Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep fingers out of the food outlet opening.
• Do not operate without the slinger plate fitted. If the slinger plate is not fitted food will clog under the plate and not exit the food outlet, resulting in damage to your attachment.
• If the food is not exiting the food outlet, switch off and check that food is not clogging under the disc and the slinger plate is fitted. Clear any trapped food before continuing to process.
• Do not run the Express Serve attachment continuously for longer than 2 minutes. Leave to cool for 2 minutes in between each 2 minute operation.

Cleaning

• Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
• Wipe the power unit with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area is clear of food debris.
• Do not immerse the power unit in water.
• Handle the blade and cutting discs with care - they are extremely sharp.

Before plugging in

• Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one shown on the underside of your appliance.

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 and 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.
• Note: 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 (see Service).
• 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 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

• Remove the plastic blade covers from the knife blade. Take care the blades are very sharp. These covers should be discarded as they are to protect the blade during manufacture and transit only.
• Wash the parts (see ‘Cleaning’).
• Ensure the cord is fully unwound before using the appliance.

To Use Your Food Processor

Main bowl

• Refer to Illustrations A - H
• Important: Your processor is not suitable for crushing or grinding coffee beans, or converting granulated sugar to caster sugar.
• When adding almond essence or flavouring to mixtures avoid contact with the plastic as this may result in permanent marking.

Hints & tips

• Use the pulse (P) for short bursts. The pulse will operate for as long as the control is held in position.
• Some foods may discolour the plastic. This is perfectly normal and will not harm the plastic or affect the flavour of your food. Rub with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to remove the discolouration.

Knife Blade

• Bread Dough - Place the dry ingredients in the bowl first and then add the liquid. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed.
• Use the handle on the lid to support if the appliance starts to move on the worktop.
• For coarser textures use the pulse control.
• Take care not to over-process.
• When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm cubes.
• Prune Marinade: 300g Honey, 50g Prunes and 50ml Water. Store in fridge overnight. Process for 4 seconds using Pulse.

Express Serve/Disc

• Refer to Illustrations I - P
• Use fresh ingredients.
• Do not cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.
• There will always be a small amount of unprocessed food on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

Cord Adjustment

• Refer to Illustration Q
• Wrap the cord around the base of the processor to the desired length and clip the cord together using the cord clip.

Storage

• Refer to Illustration R
• After use the knife blade and disc can be stored together in the bowl.
• Do not operate the processor with both the knife blade and disc fitted. Use only one attachment at a time.
