Congratulations on buying a Kenwood. With such a wide range of attachments available, it is more than just a mixer. It is a state-of-the-art Stand Mixer. We hope you will enjoy it. Robust. Reliable. Versatile. Kenwood.

Safety

• Read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference.
• Remove all packaging and any labels.
• If the plug or cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by Kenwood or an authorised Kenwood repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
• Turn the speed control to 'O' OFF position and unplug before fitting or removing tools/ attachments, after use and before cleaning.
• Keep body parts, hair and jewellery and loose clothing away from moving parts and fitted attachments.
• Never leave the Stand Mixer unattended when it is operating.
• Never use a damaged appliance. Get it checked or repaired: see 'Service and Customer Care' section.
• Never operate the Stand Mixer with the head in the raised position.
• Never put your fingers into the hinge mechanism.
• Never let the cord hang down where a child could grab it.
• Never let the power unit, cord or plug get wet.
• Never use an unauthorised attachment or more than one attachment at once.
• Never exceed the quantities stated in the maximum capacity chart
• When using an attachment, read and follow the safety instructions that are supplied with it.
• Take care when lifting this appliance as it is heavy. Ensure the head is correctly latched in the down position and that the bowl, tools, outlet covers and cord are secure before lifting.
• Take care when removing bowl tools after extended use as they may get hot.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not move or raise the mixer head with an attachment fitted as the Stand Mixer could become unstable.
• When moving the appliance always pick up by the pedestal base and mixer head. Do not lift or carry the appliance by the bowl handle.
• Do not operate your appliance near the edge or overhanging the work surface or apply force to an attachment when fitted, as this may cause the unit to become unstable and tip over, which may result in injury.
• The short power-supply cord is used to reduce risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
3. The extension cord should be an earthed-type 3-wire cord. The electrical rating of the appliance is listed on the bottom of the unit.

• Appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved.
• Misuse of your appliance can result in injury.
• This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• The maximum rating is based on the mini chopper/ mill attachment that draws the greatest load. Other attachments may draw less power.

  Splashguard only suitable for use with the 5L bowl

Plug and Fuse Information

• The wires in the cord are coloured as follows:
  Green and Yellow = Earth
  Blue = Neutral
  Brown = Live
• If the plug supplied with your appliance has a fuse fitted it is rated either 10A or 13A. If the fuse fails it must be replaced with one of the same rating.

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.

Note:
Slow Speed Outlet Attachments
The slow speed outlet on your Stand Mixer model features the Twist Connection System. It is designed to accept Twist Connection System attachments.
When purchasing new attachments for the slow speed outlet you should check compatibility with your Stand Mixer. All Twist Connection System attachments can be identified by the product code which starts with KAX and also by the Twist logo which is visible on packaging.

Hints

• The fold function can be used for folding light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses, fruit fools, Genoese sponges and soufflés, and to slowly incorporate flour and fruit into cake mixtures. The mixer will operate at a constant slow speed.

Ensure that no bowl tools are fitted or stored in the bowl when using other outlets.

To Use The Weighing Function

Refer to Illustrations J – L

1. Fit the bowl.
2. Press the on/zero button, the display screen will flash ---- followed by 0.
3. Press the (kg/lb) button to select either grams or ounces. The display will default to kg/g when first switched on.
   * The unit weighs in 1g increments and teaspoon/tablespoon measures are recommended for weighing small quantities.
   * To zero press the on/zero button once.
4. Weigh the required ingredients straight into the bowl. Note: Always place the appliance on a dry, flat, stable surface prior to weighing. Do not apply pressure to the mixer or bowl whilst weighing as this will affect the accuracy of the scales. The weighing function can be used with the mixer head in either the down or up position.

Count up timer

• During operation the display screen will automatically operate as a count up timer.
• The timer will count up to 30 minutes and will pause (for up to 30 secs) when ever the speed control is turned to the 'O' position.
• To reset the timer to zero when the machine is running press the ON/ ZERO button.

	Dough Tool For yeasted dough mixes
	Hints and Tips Use the largest bowl supplied with your machine for kneading dough. KVC85 - 5L Bowl KVL85 - 7L Bowl Never exceed the maximum capacities and speeds stated – you may overload the machine. If you hear the machine labouring, switch off, remove half the dough and do each half separately. The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first. Yeast Dried Yeast (the type that needs reconstituting): pour the warm water into the bowl. Then add the yeast and sugar and leave to stand for 10 minutes until frothy. Fresh yeast: crumble into the flour Other types of yeast: follow the manufacturer's instructions. Put the dough into a greased polythene bag or a bowl covered with a tea towel. Then leave somewhere warm until doubled in size.

Tool Adjustment

Refer to Illustrations O

K-beater & Whisk

The tools are set to the correct height for the bowl supplied in the factory and should not require adjustment. However, if you wish to adjust the tool use a suitable sized spanner:

• TYPE KVC85 = 15mm
• TYPE KVL85 = 19mm

Then follow the instructions below:

1. Unplug the appliance.
2. Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
3. Lower the mixer head. If the clearance needs to be adjusted, raise the mixer head and remove the tool. Ideally the whisk and K-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl.
4. Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft. To lower the tool closer to the bottom of the bowl, turn the shaft anti-clockwise. To raise the tool away from the bottom of the bowl turn the shaft clockwise.
5. Re-tighten the nut.
6. Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. (Check its position see points above).
7. Repeat the above steps as necessary until the tool is set correctly. Once this is acheived tighten the nut securely.

• Note:
  Spanner shown is for illustration purpose only.

Dough Tool

This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.

To Fit and Remove Head Cover
