Abstract
The invention relates to a kitchen appliance (1), in particular a mixer having a base device (2) and a vessel (3), which can be arranged thereon, wherein the kitchen appliance (1) has a positioning device (8) for positioning a first partial area (6) of the kitchen appliance (1) relative to a second partial area (7) of the kitchen appliance (1). For an advantageous monitoring of a positioning, it is proposed for an optical measuring device comprising a light emitter (9) and a light receiver (10) to be assigned to the positioning device (8), which are arranged on the first partial area (6) and/or on the second partial area (7) in such a manner that the light intensity measured by the light receiver (10) varies as a function of the positioning of the first partial area (6) relative to the second partial area (7).
