To ensure safe operation of the KAMBROOK KBL340, please follow these safety guidelines:

Read all instructions carefully before first use and save them for future reference.

Remove and safely discard all packaging materials, promotional labels, and the protective cover on the power plug.

Place the blender on a level, clean, and dry surface, at least 20cm away from walls, curtains, and other heat-sensitive materials.

Handle the blender and its attachments with extreme care as the blades are razor sharp.

Always ensure the blender is completely assembled before operation; it will not work unless properly put together.

Secure the blade assembly onto the blender jug before attaching the jug to the motor base.

Ensure the Speed Control Dial is in the OFF position and the unit is unplugged before attaching or removing the jug.

Always operate the blender with the jug lid securely in position.

Keep fingers, hands, knives, and other utensils away from the moving blades at all times.

Do not operate the blender continuously for longer than 1 minute on any setting. If operated for too long, allow the unit to rest for 30 minutes before restarting.

Do not process boiling liquids or hot ingredients; allow them to cool before placing them into the blender jug.

Never place any part of the blender in a microwave oven or a dishwasher.

Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use and ensure children are supervised if they are near the unit.

The KAMBROOK KBL340 includes the following features:

Powerful 600 watt motor.

Large 1.5 litre glass jug with measurement markings.

2-speed control dial plus a Pulse function.

Dedicated Ice Crush button for preparing icy drinks.

Removable blade holder featuring serrated stainless steel blades and a silicone seal.

Lid with a jug chute and an inner measuring cap that doubles as a tool for removing the blade holder.

Sturdy non-slip feet for stability during operation.

Integrated jug collar located under the glass jug (note that this cannot be removed).

Step 1: Place the motor base on a flat, dry surface. Ensure the Speed Control Dial is in the OFF position and the power cord is unplugged.

Step 2: Lift the blender jug straight up out of the motor base to remove it.

Step 3: Remove the lid and the inner measuring cap from the top of the jug.

Step 4: Turn the jug upside down and place it on a flat, dry surface.

Step 5: Take the inner measuring cap and insert its two tabs into the slots on the removable blade holder.

Step 6: Hold the jug handle with one hand and use your other hand to turn the measuring cap clockwise to the OPEN position.

Step 7: Once the blade holder is loose, tilt it at an angle and lift it up and out of the jug body. Use extreme caution as the blades are sharp.

Step 8: Remove the silicone seal from the blade holder for thorough cleaning.

Step 1: Ensure the motor base is on a flat surface, the Speed Control Dial is set to OFF, and the unit is unplugged.

Step 2: Place the blender jug upside down on a flat surface.

Step 3: Place the silicone seal onto the removable blade holder, ensuring it sits securely under the grooves.

Step 4: Tilt the blade holder at an angle and place it inside the bottom of the jug.

Step 5: Insert the two tabs of the inner measuring cap into the blade holder.

Step 6: Hold the jug handle and turn the measuring cap anti-clockwise to the CLOSE position to secure the blade holder in place.

Step 7: Place the assembled jug into the motor base. The jug is designed to sit inside the base; it does not lock into place.

Step 8: Place the lid on top of the jug and push down to seal. Insert the measuring cap into the lid opening and turn clockwise to lock.

Step 1: Ensure the blender is switched off at the power outlet and unplugged before assembly.

Step 2: Place the assembled jug into the motor base.

Step 3: Add ingredients to the jug. Always place liquids into the jug before solid ingredients unless a recipe specifies otherwise. Food should be cut into 2-3cm cubes for even results.

Step 4: Secure the lid and lock the inner measuring cap in place. Never operate the blender without the lid.

Step 5: Plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V outlet and switch it on.

Step 6: Turn the Speed Control Dial clockwise to LOW or HIGH. It is recommended to start on LOW and increase to HIGH if necessary. The light indicator will illuminate blue during operation.

Step 7: For short bursts of power (ideal for thick liquids or nuts), turn the dial anti-clockwise to the PULSE setting and hold it. Release to stop.

Step 8: After blending, turn the dial to OFF, switch off at the power outlet, and unplug the cord before removing the jug.

Step 1: Place no more than 1 cup of ice cubes into the blender jug and replace the lid tightly.

Step 2: Ensure the Speed Control Dial is set to the OFF position.

Step 3: Place the jug on the motor base and plug the unit in.

Step 4: Press and hold the ICE CRUSH button for approximately 5-10 seconds, then release. Note that pressing this button overrides the Speed Control Dial and operates at a high setting even if the dial is at OFF.

Step 5: Repeat the process until the ice reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6: Switch off at the power point and remove the ice from the jug immediately.

If the blades become stuck during operation, follow these steps immediately:

Turn the Speed Control Dial to the OFF position.

Switch off the power at the outlet and remove the power cord.

Remove the blender jug from the motor base and take off the lid.

Use a plastic spatula to carefully dislodge the food or liquid from the blades. Do not use your fingers.

Replace the lid and reattach the jug before attempting to recommence blending.

Clean the blender after every use by following these instructions:

Ensure the blender has stopped and the dial is at OFF. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Remove the jug from the base and ensure all food or liquid is emptied.

Disassemble the blade holder from the jug as described in the disassembly instructions.

Wash the jug, lid, measuring cap, silicone seal, and removable blade holder in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.

Wipe the motor body with a soft, damp cloth. You may polish it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive agents or cloths.

Important: Do not place any part of the blender in the dishwasher. Do not immerse the motor base, power cord, or power plug in water or any other liquid.

Exceeding the maximum level: Do not fill the jug past the 1500ml mark, as some mixtures increase in volume during blending.

Adding ingredients: To add ingredients while blending, remove the inner measuring cap and drop solids or pour liquids through the lid opening.

Speed selection: Use LOW for dressings and marinades. Use HIGH for pureeing, smoothies, or cocktails. Use PULSE or ICE CRUSH for short bursts like chopping nuts or crushing ice.

Mixing hard and soft foods: Start blending with the hard foods first, then add the softer foods.

Preventing lid popping: When blending large quantities of thin liquids, place one hand on top of the blender lid to hold it down against excessive pressure.

Scraping sides: If ingredients stick to the sides of the jug, turn the unit OFF and unplug it. Remove the lid and use a plastic spatula to scrape the food back onto the blades.

Temperature changes: Do not expose the glass jug to sudden temperature changes, such as immersing a cold jug into hot water.

To avoid damaging the unit or causing injury, do not use the blender for the following:

Do not use the blender to store food.

Do not use the blender to beat egg whites, as it will not incorporate air properly.

Do not use the blender to mash potatoes.

Do not use the blender to knead dough or other heavy mixtures.

Do not place large pieces of solid or frozen foods into the jug; always break them into smaller pieces before blending.

Do not operate the blender without the lid securely in place.

Do not remove the jug or lid while the motor is still running.
