knife blade/ dough
tool
The knife blade is the most versatile of all
the attachments. The length of the
processing time will determine the texture
achieved. For coarser textures use the
pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry
making, chopping raw and cooked meat,
vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing
soups and to also make crumbs from
biscuits and bread. It can also be used
for yeasted dough mixes if the dough tool
is not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.
hints
knife blade
lCut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes
approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.
lBiscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed
tube whilst the machine is running.
lWhen making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into
2cm/3/4in.cubes.
lTake care not to over-process.
dough tool
lPlace the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the
feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth
elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 - 90 secs.
lRe-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
unstable.



 twin beater geared whisk
Use for light mixtures only eg egg whites,
cream, evaporated milk and for whisking
eggs and sugar for fatless sponges.
Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will
damage it.
using the whisk
1Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Push each beater securely into the drive
head .
3 Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it
drops over the drive shaft.
4 Add the ingredients.
5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre
of the lid.
6 Switch on.
hints
lBest results are obtained when the eggs are at room
temperature.
lEnsure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease
before whisking.
 maxi-blend canopy
When blending liquids, use the maxi-
blend canopy with the knife blade. It
allows you to increase the liquid
processing capacity from 800mls to 1
litre, prevents leaking and improves the
chopping performance of the blade.
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Fit the knife blade.
3 Add ingredients to be processed.
4 Fit the canopy over the top of the blade
ensuring it sits
on the ledge inside the bowl . Do not push down on the
canopy, hold by the centre grip.
5 Fit the lid and switch on.
slicing/shredding discs
reversible slicing/shredding discs
- thick , thin
Use the shredding side for cheese,
carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar
texture.
Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots,
potatoes, cabbage, cucumber,
courgette, beetroot and onions.
fine (Julienne style)
chipper disc
Use to cut: potatoes for Julienne style
French fries; firm ingredients for salads,
garnishes, casseroles and stir fries (eg
carrot, swede, courgette, cucumber).
rasping disc
Grates Parmesan cheese and potatoes for German potato
dumplings.
to use the cutting discs
1Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Holding by the centre grip , place the
disc onto the drive shaft with the
appropriate side uppermost .
3 Fit the lid.
4Choose which size feed tube you
want to use. The pusher contains a
smaller feed tube for processing
individual items or thin ingredients.
To use the small feed tube - first put
the large pusher inside the feed tube.
To use the large feed tube - use both
pushers together.
5 Put the food in the feed tube.
6 Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put
your fingers in the feed tube.
hints
lUse fresh ingredients
lDon’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube
fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during
processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.
lWhen using the chipper disc, place ingredients horizontally.
lWhen slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out
shorter than food placed horizontally .
lThere will always be a small amount of waste on the plate or in
the bowl after processing.

hints
lHerbs are best milled when clean and dry.
care & cleaning
lAlways switch off and unplug before cleaning.
lHandle the blades and cutting discs with care - they are
extremely sharp.
