OPERATION

Using the Attachments
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 bread.
Tips:
•Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/ 3/4-inch
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/ 3/4-inch cubes.
•Do not to over-process food.
Kneading blade:
1. Place dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquids down the feed tube whilst the
machine is running.
2. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take approximately
30 secs.
3. Always re-knead dough by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

Attaching the Cutting Disc
1. Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the motor base.
2. Holding the centre grip, place the cutting disc onto the drive shaft with the
appropriate side facing upwards.
3. Attach the lid ensuring the top of the drive shaft is inserted into the centre of the lid.
4. Choose 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. Place ingredients in the feed tube.
6. Switch on the food processor and push down evenly using the pusher. Never put
your fingers inside the feed tube.
Tips:
•Use fresh ingredients.
•Do not 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.
•When using the chipper disc, place ingredients horizontally.
•When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed
horizontally.
•There will always be a small amount of waste left on the plate or in the bowl after
processing.
Slicing/Shredding disc:
1. Use the shredding side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.
2. Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, zucchini,
beetroot and onions.
3. Use to cut potatoes for julienne style French fries; firm ingredients for salads,
garnishes, casseroles and stir fries (e.g., carrot, swede, zucchini, cucumber).

•Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
•Always handle 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 flavor of your food. Rub with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to
remove the discoloration.
Motor Base
Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area is clear of food debris.
Blades and Cutting Discs
•Wash by hand using warm, soapy water then dry thoroughly.
•Alternatively, these accessories can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher.
A short low temperature program is recommended.
