ABOUT YOUR KITCHEN MACHINE
Congratulations on having selected one of the Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machines. A series of kitchen machines that we and—thankfully—cooking professionals the world over, feel are the best compact household-type kitchen machines available.
As you read through these instructions, please pay particular attention to the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Specific safeguards for the attachments, as well as warnings and cautions, are provided in each section describing the operation of that particular attachment.
Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machine
The Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machine is available in 4 models:

Unpacking
Carefully remove the power unit from its packaging and place it on the counter so it is ready to use. As you remove the accessories from the carton, check them against Figure 1 to ensure that all the standard parts are present.
Electrical Specifications
Check to make sure that the voltage on which your kitchen machine is to operate is the same as specified on the rating plate. Standard North American models have an electrical power rating of 400or 450-watt maximum power rating with the accessory attachment that draws the most power (some accessory attachments may draw less power).
Before Using for the First Time
Before using any of the attachments for the first time it is recommended they be washed, rinsed well and dried. Of the attachments supplied, with the systems in this manual, all parts, except the blender’s blade/base assembly, are dishwasher safe:
>The blender’s blade/base assembly should be washed under running water and dried.
Note: It is recommended that the blender’s blade/base assembly never be left to stand in water or soap solution to prevent the bearing lubricant from being washed out.

Getting to Know Your Bosch Kitchen Machine
The Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machines are comprised of various attachments, depending on the system purchased (see above). In addition to the attachments listed on the previous pages that are available with the standard systems, Bosch offers many special accessories.
Special Accessories
To allow you to get the most service from your Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machine, Bosch engineers have designed a line of special accessories to expand the usefulness of your machine. In addition to the attachments that come with the various Compact Series Kitchen Machines, there are optional accessories that can be ordered separately. These accessories include a food and meat grinder, grain mills, citrus juicer and ice cream maker, plus additional attachments that can be used with the meat grinder: fancy cookie attachment, fruit pulper and grater attachment. See SPECIAL ACCESSORIES at the back of this booklet, page 23. Or, to view all currently available accessories, visit our Web site at

Work on expanding the usefulness of the Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machine is a continuing process. If there is some type of accessory in which you are interested in that you cannot find at the back of the book or on our Web site, please either write us at:

Power Unit Features
Motor
The MUM 4405 and MUM 4420 have a 400watt motor while the MUM 4620 and MUM 4635 have a 450-watt motor, the most powerful motor offered with any compact household kitchen machine.
All MUM Compact Series power units have the following features, refer to figure 2:
Electronic speed control
Six-position rotary switch is located at the side of the multifunction arm of the power unit: 4 speeds plus a locking park position “P” and a stop position “O/Off,” see figure 2a.
Three accessory drives
Three drives:
•A high-speed drive used for blender and other attachments requiring highshaft speed
•A mid-speed drive used for continuous shredder attachment and other attachments requiring mid-range shaft speeds
and
•A high torque drive used for whisks, dough hook and meat grinder attachment and other attachments requiring more torque.
Each of these drives is controlled by the 4- speed electronic control providing 12 distinct shaft speeds optimizing the motor speed for different loads encountered by different attachments.
Ergonomic multifunction arm
Four locking positions place attachments in most ergonomic position for their use.
Park position “P”
Six-position rotary switch, located at side of the multifunction arm of the power unit, has “P” position used to “park” the drive unit. The drives must be placed in the park position prior to changing position of ergonomic multifunction arm. If drives are
6
not in proper position for rotating the arm turning the rotary switch to the “P” position will cause motor to reposition drives. If motor does not reposition drives when turned to the “P” position, the drives are already in position for arm to be rotated.
Motor drive covers
Two covers are provided to cover high -speed and mid-speed drive when they are not in use, see figure 2c.
Convenient cord storage
The MUM 4405 and MUM 4420 have convenient cord storage located on the back
of the power unit, where the cord may be wound around the holder, see 2d.
The MUM 4620 and the MUM 4635 have internal cord storage. To store the cord or reduce the length of the cord with these two units, simply pull on the cord and let the cord be retracted into the base of the machine, see figure 2.
Four rubber feet
Four rubber feet will provide the stability, while also serving to isolate the power unit from the hard surface to minimize noise and vibration.

Getting Started
The operation of your Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machine is summarized below.
Specific instructions for using each of the attachments, provided with the kitchen machine systems covered by this manual, follow the summarized instructions. Please read the specific instructions thoroughly before using that attachment, paying particular attention to the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and WARNINGS provided.
1.Place power unit on suitable work surface.
Before using the machine with any of the attachments, the power unit should be placed on a suitable work surface. The surface should be sturdy, smooth and clean; make sure that there is no flour or oil on the surface. A clean smooth surface will provide the best footing and will limit slipping and/or “walking.”
2.Plug power unit into power supply.
Pull the electrical cord or unwind the electrical cord to appropriate length. Make sure power unit is turned to Off “O/Off” and plug it into a convenient nearby receptacle. Turn rotary knob to park “P” position to make sure the drives are in proper position to rotate arm and/or install attachment. If motor does not reposition drives when turned to “P” position, the drives were already in position for arm to be rotated.
WARNING
1.Do not twist or attempt to push in the electrical cord. If the cord becomes jammed, pull out the cord to its full length and then allow it to slowly retract.
2.If the power should be interrupted, the power unit will remain on and will restart when power is restored.
3.Remove drive cover.
Remove drive cover from drive to be used, if necessary, see figure 2c.
4.Select attachment to be used.
Select attachment you wish to use. Reposition the ergonomic multifunction arm, if necessary (see figure 4a & 4b), and place attachment on power unit.
The Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machine uses its attachments in 6 modes. The various modes used (the drive and position of the arm) are shown in table 1.
