Read the instructions, keep them safe, pass them on if you pass the processor on.
Remove all packaging, but keep it in case you ever need to return the processor.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This processor must only be used by or under the direct supervision of a responsible
adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2 Don’t put the processor in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 The tab on the lid locks the switch, to prevent the motor from running unless the lid
is fitted. This is a safety feature – don’t try to overcome it.
4 Don’t remove the lid till the blade has stopped moving.
5 Don’t handle the blade. There’s plenty of plastic – handle that instead.
6 Take care when emptying the bowl and cleaning the blade.
7 Unplug before fitting or removing accessories, dismantling, or cleaning.
8 Don’t leave the processor unattended while plugged in.
9 Don’t use it continuously. Use it in bursts, and let it cool down for a minute after half
a dozen bursts.
10 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
11 Don’t use the processor for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
12 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
13 Keep the processor and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
14 Don’t use the processor if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
15 If the cable is damaged, return the processor, to avoid hazard.
household use only
before using for the first time
1 Clean all the removable parts, to remove any manufacturing dust, etc. (see “care
and maintenance” opposite).
preparation
2 Sit the processor on a stable, level surface – don’t plug it in yet.
3 Lower the bowl over the spindle.
4 Locate the tabs under the bowl in the slots in the base.
5 Turn the bowl about 15mm (just over half an inch) clockwise to lock it in place.
6 Hold the blade unit by the plastic part, lower it over the spindle, then rotate it till it
drops to the floor of the bowl.
the bowl
7 Don’t fill with anything hotter than you can comfortably handle – i.e. anything
above 40°C.
8 Don’t fill with hard foods – i.e. anything you can’t cut easily with a kitchen knife.
9 Don’t process big bits – max 12mm (half inch) cubes.
10 Don’t fill the bowl more than half full.
11 Don’t process liquids or foods with a high liquid content – the motor may overheat.
12 Don’t process raw meat.
13 Don’t try to chip ice.

processing
14 Put the food in the bowl.
15 Put the lid on the bowl.
16 Turn the lid clockwise to slide the tab on the lid
into the groove in the body.
17 Keep turning till it won’t go any further – this
unlocks the switch.
18 Press the switch to start the motor – release the
switch to stop.
19 The processor isn’t designed for continuous use.
20 Use it in bursts of a few seconds – let it rest for a
minute after half a dozen bursts.
21 You’ll find that most food won’t need more than
a few bursts of processing.
22 For best results:
a) process for a few seconds
b) check to see the results
c) repeat till you achieve the result you require
emptying
23 Unplug the processor.
24 Turn the lid anti-clockwise till the tab at the back of the lid comes out of the groove
in the body, then lift it off.
25 Hold the plastic end of the blade unit and lift it out.
26 The bowl has a bayonet fitting. Turn it about 15mm (just over half an inch) anti-
clockwise to release it, then lift it gently off the processor.
batches
27 This processor is designed to process small quantities of food. Larger quantities may
be processed in batches, but it shouldn’t be used instead of a full size processor. Do
this and you’ll break it.
28 If you regularly need to do several batches, you should think about getting a full size
processor.
care and maintenance
1 Unplug the processor.
2 Take care with the blade unit – it’s very sharp.
3 Don’t handle the blade. There’s plenty of plastic – handle that instead.
4 Wipe the outer surfaces of the processor with a damp cloth.
5 Wash the removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse well, and dry.
6 Clean the inside of the blade unit with a thin bottle-brush.
7 Don’t wash any part of the processor in a dishwasher.
8 The extreme environment inside the dishwasher can affect the surface finishes.
9 Don’t put the processor in water or any other liquid.
10 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

connection
The product doesn’t need an earth. It has a 13A BS1362 fuse in a 13A
BS1363 plug. To replace the plug, fit the blue wire to N, and the brown wire
to L. Fit the cord grip. If in doubt, call an electrician. Don’t use a non-
rewireable/moulded plug unless the fuse cover is in place. If you remove
the plug, dispose of it.
