Operating Your Kambrook Essentials
Stick Mix continued
To Remove The Blending
Shaft
First switch off the power at the power
outlet and then unplug. Unscrew
the shaft from the motor unit by
turning the shaft in a clockwise
direction (Fig 1).
Fig. 1
To Attach The Blending Shaft
Align the mark on shaft with the
mark on the motor body and screw
the shaft into the motor unit by turning
the shaft in an anti-clockwise direction
(Fig 2).
Fig. 2
Make sure the mark on the shaft is
aligned with the
mark on the motor
body and that a ‘click’ is felt.
Ensure shaft is dry with no water left
inside before re-attaching.
Using The Stick Mix
Place foodstuffs to be processed into
the Blending Jug or a sufficiently large
mixing bowl to avoid splashing.
Insert the plug into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then turn the power
on at the power outlet.
Insert the Blending Shaft deeply
into the Blending Jug and press the
required speed control switch to the
low speed to turn the blender on.
High speed can be selected during
the processing task.
To efficiently process the foodstuff use
a gentle raising and lowering motion
(Fig 3).
Fig. 3
Switch off the unit and then lift the
stick mix out of the Blending Jug. To
avoid splashing allow the blades to
stop rotating before lifting the unit out
of the container.
The Essentials Stick Mix motor will only
stay on while the speed control switch
is depressed – this is a safety feature.
While blending always hold the
container with the other hand.
WARNING: Never blend
hot ingredients!
9
IMPORTANT: It is
advisable to use the
stick mix in short bursts,
‘pulse’ action. Do
not use the stick mix
continuously for more
than one minute. If
used for a continual
minute, allow the unit
to cool down for
5 minutes before
resuming operation.
Dislodging Food From The
Mixing Blade
Release the speed control switch.
Switch off at the power outlet and
then unplug.
Use a spatula to carefully dislodge the
food. Do not use fingers as the blades
are sharp.
After the food has been removed,
plug the unit back into the power
supply and then turn the power on
and continue processing.
Recommendations For The
Stick Mix
The Kambrook Stick Mix processes
quickly, therefore it is easy to over
process food. Remember to stop the
Stick Mix and check food regularly.
Always remove saucepan from
heat and allow to cool to room
temperature before blending.
When pureeing and blending, cut
food into uniform sizes, this will ensure
even and consistent results.
Hard food stuffs such as coffee beans,
ice cubes, cereals and chocolate in
lumps should not be processed with
this appliance, as these may damage
the blades.
To reduce spills, always use the
Blending Jug less than ½ full or
process small quantities at a time.
Using The Chopper
Attachment
Remove any packaging and
promotional labels before first use.
Remove and wash chopping blade
and chopper bowl in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: The chopping
blade is extremely sharp;
handle only by the upper
plastic section.
To Attach The Chopper Bowl
Remove Blending Shaft from the
motor unit.
The chopping blade is extremely
sharp and you should grip it only by
the upper plastic section. Place the
blade on the drive shaft inside the
chopper bowl (Fig 4).
Fig. 4
Place the foodstuff inside the chopper
bowl no higher than halfway.

Operating Your Kambrook Essentials
Stick Mix continued
NOTE: Always place blade in
bowl before adding the food to
be chopped.
Place the lid onto the chopper bowl.
The lid should sit into the designated
keys on the sides of the bowl.
Align the
mark on the motor unit
with the
mark chopper bowl.
Screw the motor unit into the chopper
lid by turning the motor unit in a
clockwise direction until the mark
on the motor unit is aligned with the
mark on the chopper lid (Fig 5).
Fig. 5
Using The Chopper Bowl
Plug into a 230V or 240V power outlet
and switch on at the power outlet.
Depress the desired speed control
switch on the motor unit to
commence processing. The Stick
Mix motor will only operate while
the speed control switch remains
depressed – this is a safety feature.
When you have finished processing
the food, switch off at the power
outlet and remove plug.
Before removing processed food from
the chopper bowl, remove the blade.
Recommendations For The
Chopper Bowl
Do not operate your Stick Mix
chopper when the bowl is empty.
When processing, cut food into
uniform sizes, this will ensure quicker,
consistent results.
For effective processing depress the
speed control switch a few times in
succession, using a ‘pulse’ action.
During processing hold the motor
body with one hand and the chopper
attachment with the other.
Hard food stuffs such as coffee beans,
ice cubes, cereals, large whole spices
and chocolate in lumps should not
be processed with this appliance, as
these may damage the blades.
11
Stick Mixer
Before cleaning, turn the power off
at the power outlet and then remove
the plug. Remove the motor body
from the stainless steel Blending Shaft.
The stainless steel Blending Shaft
should be hand washed in hot soapy
water, rinsed and dried thoroughly
after each use.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or
steel wool.
QUICK WASH: Between each
processing task, with the motor body
attached and turned on at the
power outlet, place the stainless steel
Blending Shaft and blade assembly
only in to a jug of water and press the
‘ON’ button for 5 seconds. This will
remove any food on the blade and
shaft and allow you to continue onto
the next processing task.
Chopping Bowl
Before cleaning, turn the power off at
the power outlet and then remove the
plug. Remove the motor body from the
chopping bowl lid, and then remove
the lid and chopping blade from the
chopping bowl. The chopping bowl,
chopping bowl lid and chopping
blade should be hand washed in
hot soapy water, rinsed and dried
thoroughly after each use. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
Motor body
To remove any food residue wipe
the motor body and cord with a
damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool.
Never immerse the motor body in
water or any other liquid.
NOTE: The detachable blender
shaft is dishwasher safe.
Do not wash any other parts of
the Stick Mixer in the dishwasher.
Blades are extremely sharp,
handle with care.
Storage
Before storage, turn the power off at
the power outlet and then remove
the plug. Ensure the appliance is
clean and completely dry.
