Getting started with your new kitchen appliance is simple. Whether you’ve chosen an air fryer, slow cooker, blender, breadmaker or food processor, a quick set-up will help you get cooking with confidence from day one.

1. Unbox

Carefully remove your product from the packaging and take off any labels, stickers or protective covers before use.

Before switching on your appliance, check that:

• All packaging materials have been removed
• Attachments and accessories are correctly fitted
• Bowls, trays, lids and blades are unpacked and secure
• Cords and removable components are fully unwrapped and ready to use

A quick check now helps make sure your appliance is set up safely and ready for your first recipe.

2. Clean

Before first use, it’s always a good idea to give your appliance a quick clean.

Here are a few simple steps to get started:

• Wash removable trays, bowls, lids and accessories in warm soapy water
• Wipe down the inside and outside of your appliance with a soft damp cloth
• Check food processors and blenders are free from packaging or inserts before use
• Ensure air fryer baskets, slow cooker pots and breadmaker tins are clean and correctly fitted before cooking

Always refer to your product instruction manual for appliance-specific cleaning and care guidance.

3. Enjoy

Now it’s time to get cooking.

From crispy air-fried favourites and homemade soups to fresh bread, smoothies and family dinners, your Russell Hobbs appliance is ready to help you create delicious meals with ease.
