Operating Your Kambrook Essentials Stick Mix

Before First Use

Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels. Wash the Blending
Shaft in warm soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water
remains inside the Blending Shaft to
avoid water running into the motor
body when reattached.

Disassemble and wash chopping
blade, chopper bowl and chopper
bowl lid and jug in warm soapy water,
rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no
water remains on the chopper bowl
lid to avoid water running into the
motor body when reattached.

NOTE: The detachable blender
shaft is dishwasher safe.

Do not wash any other parts of
the Stick Mix in the dishwasher.

The Stick Mix Is A
Versatile Appliance

The Stick Mix motor body can be
attached to:

• The stainless steel Blending Shaft –
for use as a hand blender

• The chopper bowl with chopping
blade and lid – for use as a Mini
Chopper or Food Processor

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

WARNING: All processing
blades are extremely
sharp. Avoid any contact
with hands.

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).

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

Fig. 2

Make sure the mark on the shaft is
aligned with the
body and that a ‘click’ is felt.

Ensure shaft is dry with no water left
inside before re-attaching.

mark on the motor

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!

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.

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).

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.

Fig. 4

Place the foodstuff inside the chopper
bowl no higher than halfway.

mark chopper bowl.

Fig. 5

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.

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.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

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.

Attach the Blending Shaft to the
motor body. Store upright on the
bench or in a convenient cupboard.
