I can't find the Heat Shield in the box
Cooking Chef may well have been transported with the heat shield already in place. It is sat over the bowl tool outlet and the slow speed hub on the front of the machine. It's easily removed for cleaning and to access the attachment outlet. It isn't required for general baking tasks (unless you are using the splashguard - the two interlock to keep the splashguard in place). To protect your machine from damage, you can't use the cooking functions unless your heat shield is fitted.
