Before you start assembling and using the Food Processor, familiarise yourself with
each part and its purpose.
Included are two different blades, a chopping blade and dough blade.
The chopping blade is perfect for
chopping or pureeing ingredients ranging
from vegetables to meats.
The dough blade can be used to knead
small amounts of dough and process dry
ingredients. Being plastic it can handle
more delicate ingredients.
Remove any packaging material and promotional labels before using your Food
Processor for the first time. Wash the 3.5L bowl, lid, processing discs, blades & spatula
in warm soapy water before first use. Thoroughly dry, then assemble as shown on pages
10 and 11. Position your Food Processor on a firm, level table or bench.

The following items are also necessary for the proper use of the Food Processor.
An integral part of using your Food Processor effectively is the correct mounting of
the included blades.
Additional Items

The spindle is used for
holding the blades or
processing discs securely in
place.
The disc adaptor is used to
secure the processing discs
in place.
The spatula has been
provided for removing
ingredients from the Food
Processor.
1. Locate the slots on the chopping or dough blade. (fig 1)
2. Locate the two corresponding ridges on the spindle. (fig 2)
3. Feed the spindle up through the blade, ensuring the ridges are aligned properly with
two of the slots. (fig 3)
4. Once fed through all the way, you must twist the spindle approximately 20 degrees
anti clockwise to lock it in. (fig 4)
WARNING: Take care when handling the blades as they are sharp and could cause injury,
always hold the blade by the plastic centre.

Hints and Tips
Chopping
Processing foods that are roughly equal in size will achieve more consistent results.
Using the Feed Tube
For even results when slicing, shredding or grating you must take care when packing
the feed chute. Cut ingredients down to size so they fill the feed chute, this will ensure
ingredients do not shake around while the processing disc is spinning. Always use the
plunger to push ingredients down.
Soups
If you are processing soups, always allow ingredients to cool to room temperature before
processing.
Mincing
Meat should be cut down into 2-3cm cubes to ensure best results for mincing. It is
recommended to use the pulse function when mincing so the meat is not over processed.
Vegetables & Fruit
When processing vegetables or fruit, remove any pips, skins, cores and chop into quarters
or eighths if applicable to achieve best results.
Dry Ingredients
For best results when using dry ingredients such as flour, add to the bowl before adding
liquid ingredients. You can add the liquids through the feed chute while the food processor
is running, ensure the plunger is replaced immediately after adding.
NOTE: Do not use excessive force to push the ingredients down as this may cause
damage to the food processor.
NOTE: When processing wet and dry ingredients you may need to regularly stop the food
processor, and scrape down the sides of the bowl using the spatula included.

Cleaning & Storage
When finished with the food processor, ensure you unplug from the power point, and
clean thoroughly. To clean the base, use a clean moist cloth only, and make sure to dry it
afterwards.
To clean the bowl and lid, use warm soapy water with a sponge only. Using a scourer or
abrasive liquid could cause damage to the plastic in the bowl.
The blades, processing discs, disc adapter and spindle are all dishwasher safe.
NOTE: It is not recommended to put the metal chopping blade or discs into the
dishwasher, as the chemicals may blunt the edges.
