h nts
●When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil
into the liquidiser. Then with the machine running, pour the oil into
the filler cap and let it run through.
●Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If
it’s difficult to process, add more liquid.
●When crushing ice use the pulse in short bursts.
mportant
●Allow all l qu ds to cool to room temperature before
plac ng them n the l qu d ser.
●To ensure the long life of your liquidiser, never run it for longer
than 60 seconds. Switch off as soon as you’ve got the right
consistency.
●Don’t process spices - they may damage the plastic.
●The machine won’t work if the liquidiser is fitted incorrectly.
●Don’t put dry ingredients into the liquidiser before switching on. If
necessary, cut them into pieces; remove the filler cap; then with
the machine running, drop them through one by one.

using the attachments
see chart for speed of each attachment.
knife blade
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.
h nts
kn fe blade
●Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes
approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.
●Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed
tube whilst the machine is running.
●When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into
2cm/3/4in.cubes.
●Take care not to over-process.
dough
●Place 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 secs.
●Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
unstable.

 emulsifying tool / whisk
Use for egg whites and cream only.
h nts
●Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room
temperature.
●Ensure the bowl and whisk are clean and free from grease before
whisking.
 slicing/shredding discs
To use the discs.
revers ble sl c ng/shredd ng d scs - th ck
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.
safety
●Never remove the l d unt l the cutt ng d sc has
completely stopped.
●Handle the cutt ng d scs w th care - they are
extremely sharp
to use the cutting discs
1 Fit 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.
4 Put the food in the feed tube.
5 Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put
your f ngers n the feed tube.
h nts
●Use fresh ingredients
●Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full.
This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.
●Food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed
horizontal.
●There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in
the bowl after processing.
care & cleaning
●Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
●Handle the blades and cutting discs with care - they are
extremely sharp.
●Some foods may discolour the plastic. This is perfectly normal
and won’t harm the plastic or affect the flavour of your food. Rub
with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to remove the discolouration.
power un t
●Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area
is clear of food debris.
●Store excess cord in the storage area at the back of the machine .
l qu d ser
1 Empty the jug before unscrewing it from the blade unit.
2 Wash the jug by hand.
3 Remove and wash the sealing ring.
4 Don’t touch the sharp blades - brush them clean using hot
soapy water, then rinse thoroughly under the tap. Don’t
mmerse the blade un t n water.
5 Leave to dry upside down.
bowl/l d and attachments
●Wash by hand, then dry.
●Alternatively they can be washed on the top rack of your
dishwasher. A short low temperature program is recommended.
