Before plugging in

Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one shown on the underside of your appliance.

Important – Plug and Fuse Information

The wires in the cord are coloured as follows:
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live.
If the plug supplied with your appliance has a fuse fitted, it is rated 7A or 10A. If the fuse fails, it must be replaced with one of the same rating.

Note

For a non-rewireable plug, the fuse cover MUST be refitted when replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost, then the plug must not be used until a replacement can be obtained. The correct fuse cover is identified by colour, and a replacement may be obtained from your Kenwood Authorised Repairer (see Service).
If a non-rewireable plug is cut off, it must be DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock hazard may arise if an unwanted non-rewireable plug is inadvertently inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
This appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

The processing of spices is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts.
When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender. Remove the filler cap. Then, with the appliance running, add the oil slowly through the hole in the lid.
Thick mixtures, e.g. pâtés and dips, may need scraping down. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid.

Mill Recommended Usage

Do not operate your appliance for longer than the times specified below without a rest period. Processing continuously for longer periods can damage your appliance.

Hints and Tips

For optimum performance when processing spices, we recommend that you do not process more than 40g at a time in the mill.
Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices, so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
To release the maximum flavour and essential oils, whole spices are best roasted before milling.
Baby food/purees – allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before processing in the mill.
