You can use your Smoothie Blender for
making delicious and nutritious cold
drinks. It’s easy to use and the
smoothie drink can be dispensed
directly into a cup or glass. We’ve also
included a stirring device to assist with
the blending.
A selection of recipes can be found at
the back of the instructions, but the
handy markings on the goblet allow
you to mix ingredients of your choice.
Combinations of fruit and yoghurt (both
fresh and frozen), ice cream, ice cubes,
juice and milk can be used.
safety
●Switch off and unplug:
●●before fitting and removing parts
●●after use
●●before cleaning.
●Never let the power unit, cord or
plug get wet.
●Keep hands and utensils, other than
the stirrer out of the goblet when it’s
on the power unit.
●Don’t touch sharp blades.
●Don’t let children or infirm people
use the machine unsupervised.
●Never blend hot liquids.
●Never use a damaged machine. Get
it checked or repaired : see ‘service’.
●Never use an unauthorised
attachment.
●Never leave the machine on
unattended.
●Don’t let children play with the
machine.
●When removing the Smoothie
Blender from the power unit, wait
until the blades have completely
stopped.
●Only use the appliance for its
intended domestic use.
●Only operate the Smoothie Blender
with the lid in place.
●Never use the stirrer unless the lid is
fitted to the goblet.
●The unit may also be used for
making soups. Allow hot liquids to
cool before blending - if you haven’t
fitted the lid securely before
blending, you could get splashed.
carrot and coriander soup
25g butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
600g carrot cut into 2cm cubes
cold chicken stock
10ml ground coriander
salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a pan, add the
onion and garlic and fry until soft.
Place the carrot into the goblet, add
the onion and garlic. Add sufficient
stock to reach the 1.5 litre level
marked on the goblet. Fit the lid and
filler cap. Blend on SMOOTH for 5
seconds for a coarse soup or longer
for a finer result.
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan,
add the coriander and seasoning
and simmer the soup for 30 to 35
minutes or until cooked. Adjust the
seasoning as necessary and add
extra liquid if required.
before plugging in
●Make sure your electricity supply is
the same as the one shown on the
underside of the machine.
Important – UK only
●The wires in the cord are coloured
as follows:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
●The appliance must be protected by
a 13A approved (BS1362) fuse.
Note:
●For non-rewireable plugs 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 pug is inadvertently
inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
●The machine complies with
European Economic Community
Directive 89/336/EEC.

●Use the PULSE button to operate
the power unit in a start stop action
to control the texture of your drink.
Take care as this automatically
selects the higher speed and may
cause the drink to be thrown up the
sides and onto the lid of the goblet.
●After blending, some drinks may not
be completely smooth due to seeds
or the fibrous nature of ingredients.
●Some drinks may separate on
standing, therefore it’s best to drink
them straight away. Separated
drinks should be stirred before
drinking.
important
●Never blend dry ingredients (eg
spices, nuts) or run the Smoothie
Blender empty.
●Don’t use the blender as a storage
container. Keep it empty before and
after use.
●Some liquids increase in volume and
froth during blending eg milk, so do
not overfill and ensure the lid is
correctly fitted.
●To ensure long life of your Smoothie
Blender, never run it continuously for
longer than 60 seconds.
●Never blend food that has formed a
solid mass during freezing, break it
up before adding to the goblet.
cleaning
●Always switch off, unplug and
dismantle before cleaning.
●Never let the power unit, cord or
plug get wet.
●Empty the goblet before unscrewing
it from the blade unit.
●Always wash immediately after use.
Don’t let food dry onto the goblet
