Operating Your Kambrook Stick Mixer

Before First Use

Remove any packaging material and promotional labels.

When unpacking the Stick Mixer, check to see you have received all the required parts before discarding the packaging.

Hold the storage case base with one hand whilst holding the top of the blending jug with the other hand; using your thumb slide the lock mechanism on the storage case base to the right to release the blending jug. Lift the blending jug up and away from the storage case base to remove.

Lift the blending shaft and motor body out from the holes inside the storage case base.

Wash the blending jug with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wash the blending shaft in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water remains inside the blending shaft to avoid water running into the motor body when the motor body and blending shaft are assembled.

NOTE: The detachable blending shaft and blending jug are dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Before placing the blending shaft back onto the motor body after washing, make sure that the blending shaft has been dried thoroughly.

WARNING: Do not immerse the motor unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: The blending blade is extremely sharp. Handle with care and only lift from the shaft.

To Attach the Stainless Steel Blending Shaft to Motor Body

Align the “▼” symbol found on the motor body with the “▲” symbol on the blending shaft then turn the shaft in an anti-clockwise direction. Make sure the “▼” symbol on the motor body is aligned with the “▲” symbol on the shaft and is locked in place and secure.

Ensure the shaft is dry and that there is no water inside before re-attaching to avoid any water getting in the motor body.

Operating Your Kambrook Stick Mixer Continued...

To Use the Stick Mixer

Ensure the Stick Mixer is completely and properly assembled as detailed on page 7.

NOTE: When blending in the blending jug, do not exceed 600ml MAX marking.

1. Place the food to be processed into the blending jug provided (or a sufficiently large mixing bowl or saucepan). The quantity inside the blending jug should not exceed the 600ml marking level specified on the blending jug.
2. Insert the plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet and turn the power on.
3. The Stick Mixer is equipped with a Variable Speed Control Dial located on top of the motor body for more control over processing. Turn the dial to the 'MIN' speed and then, if required, adjust to 'MAX' speed setting depending on what the recipe specifies.
4. With the Variable Speed Control elected, place the blending shaft as deeply as possible into the blending jug and press and hold the 'ON' button. The button must be kept pressed for the duration of operation.

5. With one hand work through the ingredients in the jug with a gentle raising and lowering motion of the Stick Mixer, whilst with the other hand hold onto the blending jug for increased control.

6. Once processing is complete, switch OFF the power by releasing the 'ON' button, switch off at the power outlet and remove the power plug from the outlet.

7. To avoid splashing, when lifting the Stick Mixer out of the blending jug ensure the motor has completely stopped and the blades have stopped rotating. Always ensure the motor has completely stopped before lifting the blending shaft out of the jug.

NOTE: The Stick Mixer has a Variable Speed Control Dial that adjusts speed from 'MIN' to 'MAX' depending on the processing task. Turn dial from a low 'MIN' speed up to high speed of 'MAX' as required (See Fig. 1).

NOTE: When the 'ON' button is pressed, the Stick Mixer will operate at the speed selected by the Variable Speed Control Dial.

NOTE: The Stick Mixer motor will only operate while the 'ON' button remains pressed- this is a safety feature.

To Detach the Stainless Steel Blending Shaft

1. Once processing is complete, switch OFF the motor by releasing the 'ON' button, switch off at the power outlet and remove the power plug from the outlet.
2. Holding the motor body with one hand whilst holding the highest part of the blending shaft with the other hand, turn the blending shaft in a clockwise direction to remove from the motor body.

Dislodging Food from the Blending Blade

If foodstuffs become lodged around the processing blade or in the blade guard, follow the safety instructions outlined below:

1. Release the 'ON' button, switch the power off at the power outlet and unplug the power plug from the outlet.
2. Use a spatula to carefully dislodge the food. DO NOT use fingers as the blades are sharp.
3. After the food has been removed and blades are clear, plug the Stick Mixer back into the power supply, switch the power on and continue blending.

Recommendations when Using the Stick Mixer

• The Stick Mixer blends foods and liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy to over-process. Remember to stop the Stick Mixer and check foodstuffs throughout the operation.
• The stainless steel blending shaft on the Stick Mixer allows for hot food to be processed directly in the saucepan. This makes blending soups and sauces very easy. For safety reasons, move the saucepan away from the heat before processing.
• Ensure the body of the Stick Mixer and power cord are kept away from any heat source.
• When pureeing and blending, cut food into uniform sizes. This will ensure smooth and consistent results.
• Warm all liquids to be added to soups and purees, this will ensure even blending.
• When blending in the blending jug, do not exceed 600ml MAX marking.
• Place the jug on a level surface during blending. This will keep the jug stable.
• DO NOT process hard foodstuffs such as coffee, cereals or chocolate in lumps as these may result in damage to the blades.
