BEFORE STARTING
Unpacking
Carefully remove the power unit from its 
packaging and place it on the counter so 
it is ready to use. As you remove the 
accessories from the carton, check them 
against Figure 1 to ensure that all the 
standard parts are present.
Electrical specifications
Check to make sure that the voltage on 
which your kitchen machine is to operate 
is the same as specified on the rating 
plate. 
Standard North American models have 
an electrical power rating of 450-watt 
maximum power rating with the 
accessory attachment that draws the 
most power (some accessory 
attachments may draw less power).
Cleaning before using for the 
first time
Before using any of the attachments for 
the first time it is recommended they be 
washed, rinsed well and dried. Of the 
attachments supplied, with the systems 
in this manual, all parts, except the power 
unit, are dishwasher safe:
The power unit and drive cover 
should be wiped with a damp cloth. 
If required, use a little detergent. 
Then dry the power unit.
Reference values for the 
operating speed
These instructions for use contain 
a sticker with reference values for the 
operating speed of the appliance when 
using the tools or accessories. 
We recommend attaching this sticker to 
the appliance.
,WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.

GETTING STARTED
Place power unit on suitable work 
surface.
Before using the machine with any of 
the attachments, the power unit 
should be placed on a suitable work 
surface. 
The surface should be sturdy, smooth 
and clean; make sure that there is no 
flour or oil on the surface. A clean, 
smooth surface will provide the best 
footing for the suction cup feet on the 
power unit and will limit slipping and/
or “walking”.
The installation location should be 
near the receptacle.

length. 
Select attachment you wish to use.
