SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Braun food processor FX 3030 with the 2-bowl system meets highest
demands for kneading, mixing, blending, chopping, slicing, shredding and grating,
both simply and quickly.
To obtain best results, two dierent working bowls are available: a large food
processor bowl 7 and a small chopper bowl 10.
Thus, for chopping, puréeing or mixing you can choose between the large and the
small working bowl. Moreover, you can use the small bowl to prepare the food
which then can be further processed in the large bowl (e.g. to chop nuts for a nut
cake dough). Only one bowl can be operated at a time.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Overload Protection:
In order to avoid damages caused by overload, this appliance is equipped
with an automatic security switch which shuts o the current supply if
necessary. In such case, turn the motor switch 3 back to «O» and wait
approx. 15 minutes to allow the motor to cool o before switching on the
appliance again.
Pulse Mode P
The pulse 4 mode is for example useful for the following applications:
• Chopping delicate and so food, e.g., eggs, onions or parsley.
• Carefully folding our into dough or batter to maintain the creaminess.
• Adding whipped eggs or cream to more solid food.
The pulse mode is activated by turning the motor switch to the le. The
switch does not catch at this setting. Hold the switch in pulse position or
turn it to pulse position repeatedly.
Before activating the pulse mode, set the desired speed with the speed
regulator 5. When releasing the pulse mode, the appliance is switched o.
Recommended Speed Ranges for Individual Attachments
Set the speed range by means of the variable speed regulator 5. It is
recommended to rst select the speed and then switch on the appliance
in order to work with the desired speed right from the beginning.

ATTACHING THE WORKING BOWLS
Working With Second Bowl System
1. Only one working bowl can be operated at a time.
2. The working bowl which is not used must be in the upper position or
additionally, can be turned in the «click» direction where it is locked
in place. When the arrow markings are aligned, the bowl can be taken
o.
3. For safety reasons, always put the protective cover onto the free drive
sha aer a bowl has been taken o.
Double safety feature
The appliance can only be switched on when the desired working bowl
with lid is properly engaged. If the lid is opened during operation, the
motor switches o automatically. As in this case the motor switch 3 is still
on «I», turn it back to «O» to avoid switching on the motor accidentally.
The food processor bowl is
operated on the large drive place
of the motor block
The chopper bowl is operated on
the small drive place. With the
motor switched o, place the
respective bowl onto its drive
place matching the arrow on the
bowl with the arrow on the motor
block (See g A).
Then turn the bowl in the
«function» direction until the
lower xed stop is reached. The
bowl on the other drive place
must be in the lied position.
If the other drive place is free, put
on the protective cover m.
Put the attachment needed
(see instructions for each of the
attachments) onto the drive sha
of the bowl and push it down as
