Operating Your Kambrook Power Drive
Stick Mixer continued

To Attach the Stainless Steel
Blending Shaft

Hold the shaft with the blades down,
and
top end of the blending shaft with the
corresponding indicator symbol on
the end of the motor body. Screw the
motor body in a clockwise direction
until the
motor body is aligned with the
indicator symbol on the blending
shaft (See Fig 1).

Always ensure the blending shaft
is dry, and no water is left inside,
before reattaching.

To Use the Hand Blender

Ensure the blender is completely
and properly assembled as detailed
above.

1. Place food to be processed into

2. For food preparation tips and

the indicator symbol on the

indicator symbol on the

the jug provided (or a sufficiently
large mixing bowl or saucepan).
The jug provided should be only ½
full or less when blending liquids or
when making a puree of fruit and/
or vegetables (See Fig 2).

recipes refer to page 14 and the
recipe section.

3. Insert the plug into a

230V or 240V power outlet
and turn the power on.

4. By turning the Variable Speed

Control dial on top of the motor
body, select a speed between
MIN and 5.

5. Place the blending shaft as

deeply as possible into the jug,
press and hold the ‘VARIABLE’
button to turn the blender on. The
button must be kept depressed
for the required duration of
operation.

6. If extra turbo power is required

when blending, press the ‘BOOST’
button.

7. Work through the ingredients in

the jug with a gentle raising and
lowering motion.

8. Switch off the motor by releasing

the ‘VARIABLE’ or ‘BOOST’ button.

9. Ensure the motor has completely

stopped before lifting the blender
out of the jug.

10. When processing has finished,

switch off at the power outlet and
remove the power plug.

Fig. 2

NOTE: When pressing and

holding the ‘VARIABLE’ button
the blender will operate at the
speed selected by the Variable
Speed Control. When using the
‘BOOST’ button the blender will
always operate at maximum
speed operation. The ‘BOOST’
button can be used at any time.

To Detach the Stainless Steel
Blending Shaft

Ensure the Stick Mixer is turned off,
the power is switched off at the
power outlet and the appliance is
unplugged.

Hold the motor body with one hand,
(Fig 3) whilst holding the blending
shaft in the other hand and turn
the blending shaft in a clockwise
direction. Pull the motor body away
from the blending shaft to detach.

Fig. 3

NOTE: The Stick Mixer has a

Variable Speed Control. To
decrease speed turn the dial
anti-clockwise and to increase
speed turn the dial clockwise
(See Fig 4).

The Stick Mixer motor will only
operate while the ‘VARIABLE’ or
‘BOOST’ button remain depressed –
this is a safety feature.

Fig. 4

Recommendations when
Using the Stick Mixer as a
Hand Blender

• The Stick Mixer blends foods and

liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy
to over-process. Remember when
using the blending shaft, to stop
the Stick Mixer and check food
throughout the operation.

• The stainless steel blending

shaft on the Stick Mixer allows
for hot food to be processed
directly in the saucepan. This
makes blending soups and
sauces very easy.

• For safety reasons move the

saucepan away from the heat
before processing.

• Ensure the body of the appliance

and power cord are kept away
from any heat source.

• When pureeing and blending,

cut food into uniform sizes.
This will ensure smooth and
consistent results.

• Warm all liquids to be added to

soups and purees, this will ensure
even blending.

9

Operating Your Kambrook Power Drive
Stick Mixer continued

• Place the jug on a damp cloth
during blending. This will keep the
jug stable.

• Do not operate the appliance
continuously for more than 1
minute. Allow the motor to rest for
1 minute between each use.

If food becomes lodged around
the processing blade or in the
blade guard, follow the following
safety instructions:

1. Release the ‘VARIABLE’ or ‘BOOST’
button, switch the power off at
the power outlet and unplug the
cord.

2. Use a spatula to carefully dislodge
the food. Do not use fingers as the
blades are sharp.

3. After the food has been removed
and blades are clear, plug the
appliance back into the power
supply, switch the power on and
continue blending.

To Attach the Chopping
Blade, Chopping Bowl
and Lid

Remove blending shaft from motor
body as per Page 9.

NOTE: The chopping blade is
extremely sharp and should
be handled only by the upper
plastic section.

Place the blade onto the metal pivot
pin in the base of the chopper bowl
(See Fig 5). Place the food inside the
chopper bowl. Do not exceed the
maximum (MAX) marking.

10

Fig. 5

Place the lid onto the chopper bowl
and turn the lid in clockwise direction
until the lid clicks and locks onto the
chopper bowl (See Fig 6).

Fig. 6

Align the top end of the chopping
bowl lid with the corresponding end
of the motor body and press down
(See Fig 7).

Ensure chopper bowl lid is dry with no
water left inside before reattaching.

Fig. 7

NOTE: Always place the

chopping blade on its pivot
pin on the bottom of the bowl
BEFORE placing any stuff in
the bowl. Do not lift the blade
before the chopping operation
is finished.

To Use the Chopping Bowl

For food preparation tips and
recipes refer to page 14 and the
recipes section.

Ensure the chopper is completely and
properly assembled as detailed on
the previous page.

1. Insert the plug into a
230V or 240V power outlet
and turn the power on.

2. Select a speed between MIN
and 5 on the Variable Speed
Control Dial.

3. Press the ‘VARIABLE’ button to turn
the appliance on and start the
chopping blade.

4. Press and hold the ‘BOOST’ button
if extra power is required when
processing or chopping.

5. When processing has finished
switch off the motor by releasing
the ‘VARIABLE’ or ‘BOOST’ button,
switch off at the power outlet and
remove the power plug.

6. Detach the chopping bowl and
lid (refer to instructions to right).
Remove the lid from the chopper
bowl. Carefully remove the
chopping blade and use a spatula
to scrape off any attached food
back into chopping bowl. Use a
spatula to remove food from the
chopping bowl.

Operating Your Kambrook Power Drive
Stick Mixer continued

To Detach the Chopping
Bowl and Lid

WARNING: Ensure the
‘VARIABLE’ or ‘BOOST’
button is released, power
is turned off at the power
point and the appliance
is unplugged.

Hold the motor body with one hand,
whilst holding the chopping bowl lid
in the other hand and turn the motor
body in an anti-clockwise direction.
(See Fig 9).

Fig. 9

Recommendations when
Using the Stick Mixer with the
Chopping Bowl

• Do not operate your Stick Mixer
when the chopping bowl is empty.

• It is recommended during
processing to hold the motor body
with one hand and the chopping
bowl and lid with the other.

• When processing, cut food into
uniform sizes to ensure quicker,
even and more consistent results.

• DO NOT process hard foods such
as coffee, cereals or chocolate in
lumps, as damage to the blade
may result.

• DO NOT process boiling or hot
foods in the chopping bowl.

• NEVER remove the blade from
the bowl before food processing
is completed.

• The Stick Mixer blends foods and
liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy
to over process. Remember to
check food throughout
the operation.

Pull the motor body away from the
chopping bowl lid to detach.

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

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
‘BOOST’ 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.
