Kambrook Recommends Safety First
IMPORTANT: Please retain your instruction book for future use.
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention placed on the following important operating instructions.
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook Essentials 500 Watt Blender
• Carefully read all instructions before operating the Kambrook Essentials Blender for the first time and save for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels before using the blender for the first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and safely discard the protective cover fitted to the power plug of this appliance.
• Do not place the blender near the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water and other substances. Vibration during operation may cause the appliance to move.
• Do not use the blender on a sink drain board.
• Do not place the blender on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven.
• Handle the blender and attachments with care – remember the blades are razor-sharp and should be kept out of the reach of children.
• Always ensure the blender is completely assembled before operating. The blender will not operate unless properly assembled.
• Do not use attachments other than those provided with the blender.
• Do not attempt to operate the blender by any method other than those described in this booklet.
• Always secure the blade assembly onto the blender jug before attaching to the motor base.
• Ensure the Speed Control dial is in the ‘OFF’ position and the blender is switched off at the power outlet and the power cord is unplugged before attaching the blender jug.
• Always operate the blender with the blender jug lid in position.

Using Your Essentials 500 Watt Blender
Before First Use
Before using your Kambrook Essentials Blender for the first time, remove all packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the appliance is switched off at the power outlet and power cord is unplugged.
Wash the lid, inner cap and blender jug in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly (refer to care and cleaning instructions).
The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Assembling/Operating Your Kambrook Blender
1. Place the power cord through the cord slot and place the motor base on a flat, dry surface. Ensure that the blender is switched off at the power outlet and the power plug is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Place the blender jug onto the motor base. Ensure that the blender jug is securely positioned.
3. Add food or liquid to the blender jug. Place the lid on the blender, and push down to seal. Insert the inner cap into the hole of the blender jug lid.
4. Plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch on at the power point.
5. Turn the speed control dial clockwise for the speeds ‘LOW’ and ‘HIGH’ setting and anticlockwise for ‘PULSE’ setting. The speed can be changed at any time during the blending process. Ideally, start blending on ‘LOW’ speed and then increase to a ‘HIGH’ speed if necessary to
blend until desired consistency is reached. For ingredients that require a short burst of power, use the pulse speed. This is ideal for thick liquids or nuts.
6. To stop the blending at any time, turn the speed control dial to ‘OFF’.
7. After use, ensure the blender is switched off by turning the speed control dial to the ‘OFF’ position, then switch off at the power outlet and remove the power cord. Allow the blender to cool before storing.
NOTE: During the blending process, ingredients may stick to the sides of the blender jug. To push the food back on the blades, turn the speed control dial to ‘OFF’ and switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the power cord. Remove the lid and use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug. Replace lid before recommencing blending.
NOTE: If the blades become stuck, immediately select the speed control dial to ‘OFF’ and switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the power cord. Remove the jug from the blender base and remove the lid. Use a plastic spatula to dislodge the food or liquid from the blades. Replace lid before recommencing blending.

Hints and Tips
• Ensure the maximum level on the blender jug is not exceeded. Ensure the lid fits securely and the inner cap is on.
• Use ‘LOW’ speed for dressings, marinades and foods that require blending until just combined.
• Use ‘HIGH’ speed for pureeing smoothie or cocktail making.
• Use ‘PULSE’ for mixtures that require short bursts of power such as thick liquids or chopping nuts.
• Ensure all removable parts have been thoroughly washed and dried before assembly.
• Ensure the blender is correctly assembled before operating.
• Ensure the blender is used on a clean and dry surface.
• Place liquids into the blender jug before solid ingredients except where specified in recipes.
• Cut all food into small cubes (approx 2–3 cm square) to achieve an even result.
• If mixing hard and soft foods together, begin with the hard foods and then add soft foods. Continue blending until you have reached the desired consistency and even texture.
• To add ingredients during blending, remove the inner cap on the lid and drop solid ingredients or pour liquids through the lid opening. Use a container with a pouring lip, such as a measuring cup, when adding liquids.
• Place one hand on top of the blender lid and hold it down when blending large quantities of thin liquids. This will prevent the lid from popping off due to excessive pressure.
NOTE: Do not blend dry, thick or heavy mixtures for more than 1 minute without switching off the blender and stirring the ingredients with a plastic spatula, and then continuing blending.
• For simple blending tasks, for example, mayonnaise, salad dressings, do not operate for longer than 1 minute at one single time.
• Do not use the blender to store food.
• Do not use the blender to beat egg whites as it will not incorporate air.
• Do not use the blender to mash potatoes.
• Do not use the blender to knead dough or other heavy mixtures.
• Do not place large pieces of solid or frozen foods into the blender jug. Always break pieces before blending.
• Do not remove the blender jug or lid while the blender is operating. Always switch off at the power outlet and unplug at the power point before removing the blender jug.
• Do not overfill by exceeding the maximum mark on the blender jug. Some mixtures increase in volume during blending.
• Do not overload the blender with more than specified amounts. Overloading could cause the motor to stall.
CAUTION: Do not process boiling liquids or hot ingredients. Allow hot ingredients to cool before placing them into the blender jug.

CAUTION:
It is not recommended to blend with an ingredient volume capacity of less than 1 cup (250ml). Always place one hand firmly on top of the closed blender lid to enhance the stability of the blender during operation.
Care and Cleaning
Ensure the blender has stopped operation by turning the speed control dial to “OFF”.
Switch off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord.
Lift the blender jug upwards from the motor base to remove.
Ensure all liquids have been removed from the blender jug.
Wash the blender jug, lid, and inner cap in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Blades must be handled carefully as they are sharp!
NOTE: Do not place any part of the blender in the dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not immerse the motor base, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid.
Cleaning the Motor Body
The motor body can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths which can damage the surface). Dry and polish with a soft, lint free cloth.
Storage
Before storing, thoroughly wash and dry all removable parts.
Assemble the blender and store on the kitchen bench or in an easy to access cupboard.
