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.

Before Using for the First Time

1. 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.

Hints and Tips

• When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender. Remove the filler cap. Then, with the appliance running, add the oil slowly through the hole in the lid.

• The processing of spices is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts.
• To blend dry ingredients - cut into pieces, remove the filler cap, then with the appliance running, drop the pieces down one by one. Keep your hand over the opening. For best results empty regularly.

11 Knife Blade

Follow the instructions under ‘to use your food processor’.

Hints and Tips

• For coarser textures use the pulse control.
• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm.
• Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running.
• Take care not to over-process.
• When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm cubes.
• For best results when processing sticky fruit/ingredients such as dates, use 'Pulse' first to break down the ingredients and then continue processing on maximum speed.

12 Dough Tool

Use for yeasted dough mixes. Follow the instructions under 'to use your food processor'.

Hints and Tips

• Do not process for longer than 60 seconds.
• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed.
• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

13 Emulsifying Disc

Follow the instructions under 'to use your food processor'.

Hints and Tips

• Ensure the bowl and tool are clean and free from grease before use.
• Mayonnaise - Place the egg and seasonings into the bowl and mix for a few seconds. With the machine running gradually add the oil down the feed tube in a steady stream.

14 & 15 Discs

To Use The Cutting Discs

1. Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Holding by the centre grip, place the disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost.
3. Fit the lid.
4. Put the food in the feed tube.
5. Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher ⌕ - never put your fingers in the feed tube.

Hints and Tips

• 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.
• When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
• There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

16 Citrus Juicer (if supplied)

• a Cone
• b Sieve

To use the citrus juicer

1. Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Fit the sieve into the bowl - ensuring the sieve handle is locked into position directly over the bowl handle.
3. Place the cone over the drive shaft turning until it drops all the way down.
4. Cut the fruit in half. Then switch on and press the fruit onto the cone.

• The citrus juicer will not operate if the sieve is not locked correctly.

Hints and Tips

• For best results store and juice the fruit at room temperature and hand roll on a worktop before juicing.
• To help with juice extraction move the fruit from side to side when juicing.
• When juicing large quantities, empty the sieve regularly to prevent the build up of pulp and seeds.

17 Mini Chopper/Mill (if supplied)

• a Jar
• b Sealing ring
• c Blade assembly

1. Put the ingredients into the jar.
2. Fit the sealing ring into the blade assembly.

5. Place the mill onto the power unit, align the ⑥ on the mill with the ⑥ on the power unit and turn clockwise to lock.
6. Select Maximum speed or use the pulse (P).

Hints and Tips

• Baby food/purée - allow cooked food to cool down to room temperature before processing in the mill.

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. Select maximum speed or use the pulse (P).

Hints and Tips

• For optimum performance when processing spices do not process more than 50g at a time.
• 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.
• Do not process dried turmeric root in the mill as it is too hard and may damage the blades.
• Cut ginger and coconut into small pieces before processing.
• For best results the main bowl is recommended when chopping herbs.

Care and Cleaning

• Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
• Handle the blade and cutting discs with care - they are extremely sharp.
• 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.

Power Unit

• Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area ⑧ is clear of food debris.
• Do not immerse the power unit in water.
• Store excess cord in the storage area at the back of the power unit ⑨.
