USING YOUR KAMBROOK STICK MIX

Remove any packaging and promotional labels.

Wash the blending shaft and accessories in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly making sure there are no remains of water that can run into the motor section.

WARNING Do not immerse the motor unit, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

CAUTION The processing blades in the stick mix shaft and chopping bowl are extremely sharp, handle with care.

To remove the mixing 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).

To attach the mixing 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 anti-clockwise direction (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 mixing container or a sufficiently large mixing bowl to avoid splashing.

Insert the plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then turn the power on at the power outlet.

Insert the mixing shaft deeply into the mixing container 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).

Switch off the unit and then lift the stick mix out of the mixing container.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.

Never blend hot ingredients!

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 mixing container less than

quantities at a time.
