Always unplug the appliance before putting your hands or utensils in the goblet.

Always take care when handling the blade assembly and avoid touching the cutting edge of the blades when cleaning.

Only operate the blender with the lid in place.

Only use the goblet with the blade assembly supplied.

SCALD RISK: Hot ingredients should be al- lowed to cool to room temperature before blending.

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is operating.

When removing the blender or mill from the power unit:

wait until the blades have completely stopped;

don’t accidentally unscrew the goblet or mill jar/lid from the blade assembly.

Never blend more than the maximum capacity stated in the recommended usage chart.

To ensure long life of your blender or mill, do not run it continuously for longer than 60 seconds.

Smoothie recipes - never blend frozen ingredients that have formed a solid mass during freezing, break it up before adding to the goblet.

Do not process hard spices such as Nutmeg or Turmeric root as they may damage the blade.

Do not use the blender as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after use.

Always use the blender on a secure, dry level surface.

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 attachment that draws the greatest load. Other attachments may draw less power.

INSTRUCTIONS To minimise the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid to prevent possible burns. The following precautions must be observed:

CAUTION: Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid and steam being forced suddenly past the lid or filler cap

We recommend that hot ingredients are allowed to cool before blending.

NEVER exceed 1200ml / 5 cups capacity if processing hot liquids, such as soups (refer to the markings on the goblet).

ALWAYS commence blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. NEVER blend hot liquids by using the pulse setting.G Liquids which tend to foam such as milk, should be limited to a maximum capacity of 1000ml/4 cups.

Take care when handling the blender as the goblet and its contents will be very hot.

Take particular care when removing the lid. The lid is designed to be a tight fit to prevent leakage. If necessary protect your hands with a cloth or oven gloves when handling.

Ensure the goblet is securely attached to the base and when removing from the appliance, guide the base and ensure it is removed together with the goblet.

Ensure that the lid and filler cap are securely in place before every blending operation.

Always ensure that the vents in the filler cap are clear before every blending operation

When fitting the lid to the goblet always ensure that the lid and goblet rim are clean and dry to ensure a good seal and prevent spillage.

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

To blend dry ingredients - cut into pieces, remove the filler cap, then with the machine running, drop the pieces down one by one. Keep your hand over the opening. For best results empty regularly.

The processing of spices is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts.

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.

Thick mixtures, e.g. pâtés and dips, may need scraping down. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid. 7Recommended Usage Chart (Programme buttons)

For optimum performance when processing spices we recommend that you do not process more than 50g at a time in the mill.

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.

Baby food/purees - allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before processing in the mill. care and cleaning
