INTEGRATED SAFETY FEATURES PROTECTION AGAINST OVERHEATING:

Overheating protection automatically switches off the motor in the event of overload and only switches it on again after it has cooled down. The mixer motor is equipped with a temperature monitor. If the blades rotate too slowly when the mixer is running, due to too firm food or too little liquid, there is a risk of overheating and the motor will switch off. Remove the plug from the socket and let the device cool down for approx. 2 minutes. 60 minutes in a well-ventilated place. The motor is also safely protected against flowing water.

Auto stop for mixing container

The sensor of the blender jar detects whether it is placed correctly. If the blender jar is not in place or not properly in place, the mixer cannot be switched on. When the appliance is switched on and you remove the blender jar from the motor unit, the appliance switches off immediately. When you put the container back on, the device switches to standby mode. The mixing process only starts when you press the container down or click on the motor unit.

Precautions for safe use of the mixer

Never use the device without the lid. Do not leave your blender unattended when operating. Any repair and servicing, or the replacement of parts must be performed by KeMar or an authorized service representative.

REMARK:
The unit needs to rest for 1 minute after completing one cycle when the unit was running on max working time (as with bisque function); afterward, the unit can run a maximum of one cycle again. So, after running a maximum of 3 cycles, the unit has to stop working until cooled to ambient temperature (about 2-3 minutes cool time). When operating the mixer, small and light objects and food (e.g., sugar, flour, spices, etc.) can be sucked into the engine. Please make sure that these are not in the immediate vicinity when operating the mixer; otherwise, the mixer can be severely damaged. Likewise, the maximum level of the containers must not be exceeded. If you exceed the maximum permitted level, liquid that runs down can be sucked into the engine. This also leads to serious damage!

DANGER OF ROTATING BLADES:
Rotating Blades Can Cause Severe Injury! DO NOT reach into the container while the machine is running.

Before first use

WHY DOES THE ENGINE SMELL WHEN IT COMES INTO OPERATION?

• When using the mixer for the first time, you may notice an “electronic smell.” This is created by residues of the anti-corrosive resin layer between the carbon brushes and the electric motor winding.
• In order for the motor of your blender to remain efficient and long-lasting, it is necessary to apply an anti-corrosion layer to electric motors to ensure trouble-free operation. Electric motors are exposed to different extreme environmental influences depending on the installation location and operating mode. In the case of a stand mixer, this includes, for example, humidity and very high operating temperatures.
• Good corrosion protection is therefore crucial for the quality and service life of the electric motor. All electrically conductive parts, such as the winding, are protected against corrosive influences by the required electrical properties by a resin layer. The same applies to the electrical connection parts and terminals. This measure avoids the formation of rust on the surface of ferrous parts and protects them against the ingress of moisture and water.
• When the blender is started up for the first time, especially under high load, very high operating temperatures occur on the winding and the electric motor at around 24,000 rpm. Especially when the motor is new, there may still be residues of protective resin between the carbon brushes and the motor winding. The resulting heat and the friction of the carbon brushes on the winding create these smells that can be perceived as “electronic smells.” The smell diminishes over time as the protective layer on the carbon brushes is gradually removed when the brush is switched on. Depending on the thickness of the protective layer, it may take a longer time until the odor subsides and no longer occurs. This is not a defect or defect in the device.

Characteristics

• Stand mixer with an anodized surface
• Operating speeds: 22,000-24,000 rpm | 12,000-13,000 rpm at maximum filling – Hardened steel blades
• Both containers are BPA-free
• Blades for different applications
• Sports cap with a drinking attachment for on-the-go use
• Very quiet when mixing
• The mixer’s containers are made of unbreakable bisphenol-A (BPA) free PCT-G plastic. The break resistance pertains to the mixing process, ensuring the container will not break during blending. If the blender container falls from a great height, it may be damaged to the extent that it could break.
• The colorless plastic PCT-G is tasteless, odorless, and very stable. The material does not contain any plasticizers like BPA (bisphenol-A) and is straightforward to clean.
• The plastic used for the two blade attachments is polypropylene (PP), which contains neither plasticizers nor BPA, silicone, or latex—considered problematic. It is free of heavy metals and oils, resistant to discoloration, germ-reducing, and vegan.
• The sports drinking attachment lid is made of ABS plastic, and the storage lid is made of PP.

3. Motor base
4. Small container 350 ml
5. Sports drinking attachment

Description and function of the parts

700 ml CONTAINER:

Fill the 700 ml container only up to the maximum (MAX) filling level. The container is particularly suitable for smoothies, fruit juices, crushing ice, and frozen drinks. After mixing, you can unscrew the sports drinking attachment and take the container with you to sports, school, or work. Make sure not to use the container for mixing without its contents.

350 ml CONTAINER:

Only fill the 350 ml container up to the maximum (MAX) filling level. The container is particularly suitable for chopping nuts, spices, garlic, onions, coffee beans, and also whipped cream. After mixing, you can unscrew the lid and place the container in the refrigerator to store the food, for example. Make sure not to use the container for mixing without its contents.
Note : Modern mixing cups are made of PCT-G plastic. With their hard surface, nuts, beans, and grains can leave so-called micro-scratches in the plastic, which can make the blender container appear cloudy over time. This is completely normal and harmless as the plastic deforms inwards.

Cross Blade:
The cross blade is designed for chopping, grating, and mixing foods such as onions, cheese, meat, frozen beverages, smoothies, and fruit juices. Never use the cross blade attachment without liquid, as this can damage the blade.

Note : The blade is made of SUS301, a corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The blade is not suitable for dishwasher cleaning. Clean it immediately after use with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid. Be cautious during cleaning, as there is a risk of injury due to the sharp blades. Make sure that the blade attachment is always securely screwed onto the container before placing it on the motor base.

ENGINE BASE:
The motor base features an anodized surface and provides a secure stand through suction feet. Notably, the motor base lacks an on/off switch. It operates only when a blender jug with a blade attachment is inserted and pushed down. The motor base incorporates a manual reset. In the event of the mixer overheating, it will automatically switch off. Unplug the power cord and wait at least 45 minutes before using the mixer again. It’s crucial to note that for activation, one of the two containers with a blade attachment must always be on the motor base. Without the container in place, the motor base is in standby mode.

How to use

BASIC OPERATION:

1. Place the base station on a level surface and connect it to a power outlet.

2. Pour ingredients into one of the two cups. Fill the cup with liquid to the max line. Screw the blade onto the mug and tighten it by hand to ensure a tight seal.

3. Place the cup on the base station with the blade attachment facing down. Ensure that the three lugs are in the notches below.

4. To initiate the mixing process, press the container down with the blade and turn the container clockwise until it clicks into place.

5. Avoid running the mixer for more than 1 minute at a time to prevent overheating.
   CAUTION: If the mixer does not grind the ingredients, please check the following points:

   • Ensure there is enough water in the container.
   • Verify that the size of the fruit or vegetable is not too large.
   • For better mixing results, start by mixing nut s and other hard ingredients without liquids first. Afterward, add liquid to achieve a perfect mixing result.

6. If the desired consistency of the food to be mixed has not yet been reached, wait for 1 minute and repeat the mixing process up to 3 times in a row until the correct consistency is achieved. If more than three 1-minute blends are required, allow the blender base to cool for 2-3 minutes before starting the next blending process.

7. To stop the blending process, simply turn the container in the other direction (counterclockwise) to disengage the container from the base. Stop applying pressure to the container and wait for the motor to come to a complete standstill. Never remove the containers from the mixer base before the engine has completely stopped. Removing the container while the engine is still running can damage the blade clutch or engine transmission.

8. Unplug the blender from the mains when it is not in use.

Care and cleaning

Disconnect the plug from the mains. Before cleaning the device, allow it to sufficiently cool down after use. Do not pour out the liquid until it has cooled down sufficiently to avoid scalding. Never immerse the device in water as it can be damaged. Clean the parts with a mild detergent and a little warm water. Before using the parts again, please dry them sufficiently. Do not use abrasive sponges or abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the device. Clean the surface of the device with a soft cloth or sponge, a little warm water, and mild washing-up liquid. Do not immerse the motor base in water.

Easy cleaning after mixing

1. Fill the container halfway with warm water and add a few drops of washing-up liquid or, alternatively, 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of liquid bleach to the container.
2. Place the lid firmly on the container.
3. Place the container on the motor base and press the container down until the mixer starts. Let the mixer run for about 30 seconds.
4. Remove the container from the motor base and rinse the container and lid thoroughly with clean water. Dry off all parts.

Dishwasher safe

Blades:
Avoid cleaning the blade attachments in the dishwasher, as the knives cannot be removed from the plastic attachment. Cleaning salts and rinse aid used in dishwashers can damage the blades in the long term. The blades are sensitive to acidic foods and salty dishwasher detergents, which can cause permanent damage. It is recommended to clean the blade attachments by hand using mild detergent and warm water to ensure their longevity and performance.

Containers:
The PCT-G material used in the two containers is a durable and high-quality substance that withstands cleaning at temperatures up to 100°C. However, it is advised to avoid dishwasher cleaning, as it may lead to premature stress cracks. Dishwashing detergent and rinse aid contribute to the gradual degradation of the polymer, resulting in decreased mechanical strength. The use of harsh cleaning agents, especially rinse aid, can significantly reduce the container’s lifespan. It is recommended to clean the containers by hand using a mild detergent under running water, ensuring thorough rinsing to maintain their longevity and performance.

Drinking attachments:
Can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
