High Speed Outlet: This outlet operates attachments
that need high speed such as blending, juicing, high
speed slicing and shredding.
Medium speed outlet: This is for operating the food
processor attachment.
Slow speed outlet: This outlet operates attachments
that need slow speed and power for example,
mincing, pasta making, slow slicing, shredding etc.
See booklet 4for optional “Attachments”
Tool socket: The Cooking Chef has planetary mixing
action. This is where the bowl tool revolves in one
direction and the socket turns it in the opposite
direction. The mixture is therefore picked up from
around the bowl, and brought back to the centre.
This ensures a prefect and homogenous mixing.
Bowl handles: Easy grip heat resistant handles.
Bowl: The bowl has a 6.7 litre fill capability to prepare
large quantities. It has a special base including
aluminium for even heat distribution. The bowl also
includes a sensor to activate an interlock to give the
user full safety assurance.
Induction Cooking: The Cooking Chef uses induction
heating technology which is extremely safe and energy
efficient. It heats up very quickly and the power can be
controlled very precisely, thanks to its electronic twin
probes which are located beneath the bowl.

Solution: Lower the head. Turn the speed control to ‘0’ and start again.
E: 02 – The Bowl
If the bowl of the Cooking Chef is not fitted correctly then E: 02 will appear.

Using the tools:
1 2
For best performance the Power Whisk, K Beater and Stirring Tool should be almost touching the
bottom of the bowl. If necessary the tools can be adjusted. Simply use the spanner provided to adjust
the height of the tool.
Note: The tools need to sit roughly 5mm’s above the bottom of the bowl, ensure that the tools are not
lowered too much as they may scratch the bottom of the bowl.
1 2
Stirring Tool: The Stirring Tool fits onto the machine in a slightly different way compared to the other
tools. Simply line up the slot on the rim of the tool with the metal pin on the underside of the mixer head.
Then, holding the centre paddle of the tool, push the tool into the socket and twist to lock into position.
En
Tip: By using a sheet of paper
you can ensure your whisk is at
the right height.
Place a sheet paper in between
the whisk and bowl. You should
be able to pull the sheet of
paper out with out tearing it.
So the bowl tool sits just above
the bottom of the bowl (but not
touching the bottom).

Splashguard: The Splashguard can be used in 2 different ways. A guard to cover the bowl, using the
feed chute to add ingredients or a lid for use when cooking (similar to a sauce pan lid) to keep any
moisture and steam in the bowl.
Note: When using the Steamer ensure you use the Splashguard and keep the feed chute closed. This
also allows the machine to heat up quicker and generate more steam.
Flexi Beater: Carefully fit the flexible wiper blade onto the tool by locating the base of the wiper blade
into the slot, then feed the sides into the groove.
Note: The wiper blade of the Flexi Beater can be removed for easy cleaning.
