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 4­speed 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

gasket and locking ring.
1. Before using the blender for the first time, it is recommended that the blender jar cover, closure/funnel and blade/base assembly, gasket and locking ring be washed. All components, except the blade/base assembly, are dishwasher safe. Remove the blade/base assembly from the blender:
The MUM 4635 UC, MUM 4620 UC and the MUM 4420 UC Bosch Compact Series Kitchen Machines include the MUZ 4 MX2 blender accessory. The blender accessory consists of, figure 5:
First remove the locking ring, as shown in figure 6a and 6b. Then turn the blender over so that the base is facing upward, as shown in figure 7, and remove the blade assembly by turning
13
the blade assembly counterclockwise until it stops and then lift up see figures 7c and 7e.
Figure 6.
CAUTION
Blade/base assembly is very sharp.
Handle with care.
Wash the blade/base assembly under running water. Do not place the blade/ base assembly in the dishwasher or allow it to stand in water. This will tend to wash out the lubricant. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and dry before using.
2. To assemble or reassemble blade/base assembly into the blender, reverse the steps that were used in the above to remove it.
3. The blender is used in mode 3, see table 1. To place the blender on the
power unit the arm must be rotated to the down position. Depress the release button, see 4a, and lower the arm so that the arm is vertical and the high­speed drive is straight up.
If you have not already done so, remove the motor drive cover from the high-speed drive and place the blender on the high-speed drive and turn counterclockwise to lock the blender in place.
Figure 7.
If the blade assembly is too tight to turn by hand, the locking ring may be used to loosen the blade assembly, as shown in figure 7d. After loosening, turn the blade assembly counter­clockwise until it stops and then lift up. The gasket may be removed for cleaning, as shown in figure 7f.
Placing Blender into Operation
Make sure that the power unit’s rotary switch is in the off position, “O/Off.” Pull the electrical cord or unwind it to the necessary length and then plug into the wall outlet. The blender is now ready for operation.
Normally when blending, the blender jar should be filled with the entire amount of material to be blended, if possible, before switching the appliance to On. The cover and cover closure should always be in place after filling the blender jar and before switching the power unit to On. Any subsequent additions to the blended material should be made through the cover opening, see figure 8. For solids and/or granular material, remove the cover closure/ funnel to add the material, as shown in figure 8a. For liquids, the closure/funnel may be left in place and the liquids can be added by pouring them into the closure/ funnel, see figure 8b.

Figure 8.
When the blender is being used on dry materials, such as nuts or bread, the best results will be obtained when the blender jar is filled with approximately 1/2 cup of material to be blended. If the blender does not start (even after trying the highest speed), the blade has become blocked by the contents. The power unit should be:
Example of Use of Blender
To familiarize you with the operation of the blender, a sample recipe for mayonnaise is provided below:
Mayonnaise Recipe
1 whole egg
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice or light
vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2/3 cup of vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients, except final 2/3’s cup of oil, for a few seconds at speed 1, then quickly pour the oil in through the opening in the cover in a uniformly thick stream, as shown in figure 8b. Operate the blender at speeds 1 or 4 until mixture is thick and smooth (approximately 1020 seconds). Makes 1 1/4 cups.
Tips: The blender should be operated with careful consideration as to what is required and/or desired. The speed at which the blender is operated and the length of operation for a given job will depend upon the degree of fineness desired or the amount being blended.
1. Switched to off, “O/Off,” and unplugged.
2. The mixture should be removed and the contents at the bottom of the jar loosened.
Removing Contents
Before beginning to remove the contents from the blender, make sure that the power unit has been turned to off position “O/Off.” Remove the blender from the power unit by turning the blender clockwise while lifting. With the blender removed from the power unit, the contents of the blender may now be poured into a suitable container or bowl, as desired. Replace the cover on the high­speed drive.
Care and Cleaning of Blender All components of the blender, except the blade/base assembly, are dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the blade/base assembly be cleaned only under flowing water rather than in the dishwasher. Soap and detergent will tend to wash out the bearing lubricant of the blade/base assembly. Do not use scouring cleaners on any of the blender parts.
The power unit of the kitchen machine should be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth only. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning products to clean this appliance. Never immerse the power unit in water.

Learning how to feed food properly into the feed funnel is the most important factor for proper slicing and grating:

1. For long slices or long shreds, place food into the feeding funnel lengthwise.
2. For short or circular slices, place food in the feeding tube on end. For example, If you wish to have circular slices of zucchini or carrots:
• cut to length not to extend above the
top of the feeding tube.
• place the cut zucchini or carrots in
the feeding tube on end until the feeding tube is packed.
To slice a single narrow item, a carrot for example:
• place the carrot in the feeding funnel opposite the cutting edge of the disc.
The wall of the feeding funnel will then serve to hold the piece vertical.
When using the continuous shredder, be sure to watch the level in the bowl and stop the slicing, shredding or grating before the level of the material being sliced, shredded or grated blocks the discharge tube.
Slicing and shredding tips:
1. Shopping for fruits and vegetables that will fit into the feeding funnel will simplify food preparation.
4. Do not overcook potatoes that are to be sliced. Also it is recommended that you let them cool first. Potatoes must be cool and firm to obtain the regular slices.
If the slicer/shredder does not start (even after trying the highest speed) the disc has become blocked by the contents. The power unit should be:
1. Switched to Off position, “O/Off,” and unplugged.
2. The continuous shredder should be removed from the power unit, the cover removed and the items causing the blockage removed.
Removing Contents
Before beginning to remove the contents from the bowl, make sure that the power unit has been turned to the Off position, “O/Off.” The continuous shredder may be removed from the power unit by turning the shredder clockwise while lifting. With the continuous shredder removed from the power unit, depress the release button and move the arm upward until the bowl can be removed. The contents of the bowl may now be poured into a suitable container or bowl, as desired.
2. Foods that are to be used together may be sliced together. This can be used to your advantage. For example, green onions and celery are often used together, but feeding the green onions into the feeding funnel alone is difficult. Try slicing the green onions at the same time as the celery by interspersing them in the feeding funnel with the celery.
3. Use the slicing disc to shred lettuce.
Care and Cleaning of Continuous Shredder
All components of the continuous shredder are dishwasher safe. Do not use scouring cleaners on any of the continuous shredder parts.
The power unit of the kitchen machine should be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth only. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning products to clean this appliance. Never immerse the power unit in water.
