BEFORE FIRST USE
• Before using your food processor for the rst
time, remove any packaging material and
promotional labels.Ensure the POWER button
is OFF and the food processor is unplugged.
• Be careful when handling the blades and discs
as they are extremely sharp.
• Wash the processing bowl, processing lid and
all attachments in warm soapy water with a soft
cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. All attachments
except the geared spindle and large food pusher
may be washed in the dishwasher.
• When rst using your food processor, you
may notice an odour coming from the motor.
This is normal and will dissipate with use.
• Always use the food processor on a dry,
level work surface.
ASSEMBLY
Motor Base and Bowl
1. Position the processing bowl onto the motor
base with the handle in line with the ALIGN
HANDLE graphic on the motor base.
2. Turn the bowl clockwise until the handle locks
to the front.The processing bowl should now
be securely locked into position.The food
processor will not operate unless the bowl
is locked into position correctly.

Spindles and Discs
1. Before placing the lid onto the processing
bowl, choose your spindle and position it over
the coupling in the centre of the processing
bowl.Then position your chosen attachment
over the spindle. Please note that the Quad®
Blade and Dough Blade do not require
a spindle for processing.
2. The disc spindle is required when using
the following discs: adjustable slicer, reversible
shredder, julienne, french fries cutter and the
peeler. Do not use the geared spindle for those
attachments. Failing to use the disc spindle will
damage the parts, and incorrect use this way
may cause the parts to fuse together.

3. The geared spindle is required when using
the dicing kit.To dice vegetables or fruit insert
the geared spindle into the bowl rst, followed
by the dicing grid, ensuring to align with the
4 tabs in the bowl, then insert the dicing disc.
Make sure you follow the right order.
If you intend to dice larger quantities
(more than 5 cups) please insert the dicing
distributor after placing your geared spindle
into the bowl.The dicing distributor will help to
distribute diced food evenly across the bowl.
Do not use your dicing kit with the disc
spindle. Always use the geared spindle.

Mini Processing Bowl
The mini processing bowl ts inside
the main bowl.
Do not use any spindle, or the processing
discs. Use only the mini processing blade in
the mini bowl. Please note that the mini blade
cannot be used in the main processing bowl.
Lid
Place lid onto the processing bowl so that the
ALIGN / LOCK graphics on the lid and handle
align.To LOCK the lid, hold the chute and turn
clockwise so that the handle parts align.
Locking the lid correctly will engage the
interlocking safety catch on the handle,
and allow the motor to run.

13
EN
OPERATION
Getting started
The food processor will only operate when
the processing bowl, lid and large pusher are
correctly assembled.This engages the safety
interlock, and allows the motor to run.
The chute has a CHUTE FILL MAX graphic
to indicate the maximum volume of food that
can be placed in the chute for the pusher to
activate the safety locking catch.
Control buttons
The momentary PULSE button is ideal for
processing foods that need sudden bursts
of power. It also encourages ingredients
to move around the bowl. PULSE is also
best when processing foods that only
require processing for a short period of time.
After Processing
After processing, wait until the blades/discs
have stopped moving before unlocking the
lid. To ensure safe handling, turn o at the
POWER button and unplug at the power
outlet before handling the blades.
When removing blades/discs, lift the part
by carefully gripping the plastic hub in
the centre.
DICING WITH THE DICING KIT
The dicing kit dices raw and cooked food
into cubes of the size of 12 x 12mm.
Always remember to place the geared
spindle, dicing grid and dicing disc into
the food processor before adding the food.
Do not dice more than 10 cups (2.4l) in your
food processor at a time. Exceeding this
capacity could lead to the product jamming
in the disc. It will also make the cleaning
process of the dicing grid challenging.
Clean dicing grid each time after dicing
10 cups.
Vegetables and fruits
The dicing kit can process raw and cooked
vegetables and also fruits. To improve dicing
results for harder vegetables like carrots and
pumpkin, par-cooking is recommended. Only
par-cook vegetables that need to be cooked
afterwards.
For best results when dicing with raw, hard
vegetables feed carrots length-ways through
the small feed chute, and feed pumpkin through
the medium feed chute. Feeding this produce
through the large feed chute may lead to
jamming of the disc.
DO NOT DICE SWEET POTATO
(Yam/Kumara).
Due to its dry, brous texture dicing sweet
potato is not recommended with the
Dicing Kit. Sweet Potato places high load
on the Dicing Kit which causes high friction
and potential damage to the Bowl Lid.
Use the START / PAUSE button for control
when dicing food.
PEELING WITH THE PEELER
Potato peeling made easy
Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes.
The Sage peeler will peel potatoes in batches
of 6–7, depending on the size. Peeling is very
fast, and may nish quicker than expected.
Keep your eye on progress, and it should be
done in 25–30 seconds.
Size matters
The best size potatoes to use are around
70mm x 70mm, which is about the size
of this illustration. Choose potatoes that
are round, rather than elongated.
Use whole potatoes, as cutting potatoes
into half or quarters creates square edges
that won’t peel eciently. Using rounder
potatoes will reduce the amount of waste.
Loading the potatoes
Position 6–7 potatoes evenly on top of the
peeler. Potatoes should have enough room
to freely roll and rumble. If potatoes are too
tightly packed, the peeling won’t be as eective.
Keep in mind that the peeling works best with
a complete batch, and peeling just a couple
of potatoes won’t be as ecient. Lock lid
in place before starting, and never insert
potatoes through the chute.
Functions

14
The best size potato
for the peeling disc is
around 70mm x 70mm.
Choose potatoes that are
round, rather than elongated.
Peeling other produce
The peeler disc can peel potatoes very well
but it can also be used to peel other rm,
round produce such as beetroot.
It can also peel carrots and sweet potatoes.
Depending on the size, we recommend cutting
carrots and sweet potatoes in 2–3 pieces before
placing them into the bowl.
CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD®BLADE
The micro-serrated Quad blade chops raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, from
coarsely chopped to minced.The blades process
very eciently, and may take less time than
expected to process many large tasks.
Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats
Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes.
Process no more than 7 cups at a time using
the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until chopped to desired size or consistency.
Raw meat, chicken and sh
Trim excess fat and sinew, and cut food into
2.5cm cubes. Ensure all bones are removed.
Chill well in freezer until rm as this will help
to cut through the food more easily. Process
no more than 4 cups (600g) of raw meat at a time.
At this capacity the motor should run for no more
than 30 seconds at a time. Use a combination of
the START and the PULSE button until chopped
or minced to the desired consistency.
Leafy herbs
Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove
any coarse stems. Process no more than
3 bunches of herbs (approx. 5½ cups) at a time
using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until chopped to the desired consistency.
Use leafy herbs immediately for the most
aromatic results in your recipe.
Nuts
Process no more than 5 cups of shelled
nuts at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals until chopped
to the desired consistency.
Nut butters
Process no more than 5 cups of shelled
roasted nuts at a time using the START button
until chopped to the desired consistency.
Soft breadcrumbs
Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread
will stick to blades). Process no more than
6–8 slices at a time with the processing bowl,
using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals
until crumbed to desired consistency.
Dried breadcrumbs
Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until
golden and crisp. Do not over brown. Process
no more than 6–8 slices at a time with the
processing bowl, using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals.
Biscuit crumbs
Break biscuits into quarters, and weigh
a maximum of 500g (2 standard packets).
Process using the PULSE button at
1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency. Sweet or savoury biscuit
crumbs can be used as an alternative to pastry
for sweet or savoury pies.
Do not process very hard biscuits (for example
gingernut biscuits) as this may damage
the blades.
Dried fruit
For dates and other larger dried fruits, remove
pits and cut into quarters before processing.
Process no more than 1 cup at a time.
Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick
to the blades during processing.
We recommend putting dried fruit in the freezer
for about 10 minutes before processing.
Process no more than 2 cups (1 cup for
large fruits) at a time using the PULSE button
at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the
desired consistency.

PURÉEING WITH THE QUAD®BLADE
The micro-serrated Quad blade purées raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, including
baby food. The blades process very eciently,
and cut the time needed to puree many tasks.
MIXING WITH THE QUAD®BLADE
The Quad blade mixes ingredients for cakes,
batters, and cookie doughs.
The Quad blade can also emulsify egg-based
sauces such as mayonnaise.
Pastry dough
Place our and chilled, cubed butter into the
processing bowl.
Do not process more than 3L cups (500g)
of our using the START / PAUSE button
in intervals until the butter is absorbed into
the our.
Steadily add liquid through the small feed
chute with the motor still running.
Process until the mixture forms a ball.
KNEADING WITH THE
DOUGH BLADE
Always remember to place the dough blade into
the processing bowl before adding the food.The
edges of the plastic dough blade create a softer
action for combining dough ingredients.
The dough blade encourages the gluten strands
to be stretched rather than cut, and should be
used for all yeast doughs, and any other doughs
that require kneading.
Do not process more than 3 cups (500g)
of our or using the START / PAUSE button
in intervals.
Steadily add liquid (including oil, if applicable)
through the small feed chute with the motor still
running. Process until the mixture until it forms
a soft, elastic dough ball.
If processing more than two batches of dough
(500g each), allow the motor base to cool for
an extended period (approx.30 min) before
subsequent kneading to prevent the motor
from overloading.
SLICING, GRATING
AND SHREDDING
IMPORTANT
The spindle must be used with both
the adjustable slicer and the reversible
shredder/grater.
Adjustable slicer
The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even
and consistent thickness. It can be adjusted
to 24 settings, from very ne (0.3mm) to thick
(8.0mm).To adjust the slicing thickness, hold
the adjustable slicing disc by the outer edge
with one hand, keeping hand away from blade,
and turn the adjustment dial on the underside
with the other hand. An arrow graphic indicates
the thickness of the slice you have chosen.
Reversible grater and shredder
This disc has an array of small blades on both
sides of the disc. Align the disc so larger holes
face up for courser textured results, or with the
smaller holes facing up for ner results. The
discs are labelled showing which side faces up.
CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS
For optimal results, position food in the chute
and use the pusher to apply light downward
force prior to starting the food processor.
Always use the small or medium size feed
chute for processing hard produces like
pumpkin and sweet potato. Feeding hard
produces through the large feed chute could
cause damage to the discs.
Smaller ingredients
For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers,
zucchini, etc., use the small or medium feed
chute.This will avoid the ingredient from tipping
over during slicing.
Larger ingredients
Take care not to overll the chute, as the pusher
will not activate the interlock safety catch if the
chute is too full. Do not ll over the MAX CHUTE
FILL graphic.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down
the chute as this can damage the discs.

16
Cheese
Caution should be taken when processing
cheese in a food processor. For soft cheese
such as mozzarella, partially freeze it until rm.
This will help prevent jamming the disc.
Round cheeses such as mozzarella should be
trimmed at one end to encourage them to sit at
in the feed chute with the disc starts.
Hard cheeses such as parmesan must be
checked rst to ensure they are not too
hard (to avoid damaging blade edges).
The cheese should slice easily with a sharp
knife and remove the rind before processing.
Wedged shaped cheeses such as parmesan
can be packed side by side to form
a rectangular shape in the chute.
Chocolate
Break a block of chocolate into small pieces,
and chill until rm. Pack into the small
or medium feed chute, and then shred.
WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the bowl
and lid. When processing citrus rind
clean out bowl and lid immediately
after processing. Do not soak parts
in hot water.

Remove the power cord from the power outlet
after use for safety reasons.
Processing bowl and lid
Due to the interlock components, we do not
recommend immersing the bowl in water for
long periods.
To keep your bowl and lid clean, and to avoid
food drying on, follow these steps as soon
as possible after use:
• Rinse most of the ingredients o the bowl
and lid.
• Hand wash in clean warm, soapy water using
a mild liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.
• The processing bowl and lid may occasionally
be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only),
however washing in the dishwasher is not
recommended on a regular basis, as prolonged
exposure to harsh detergents, hot water and
pressure will damage and shorten the life of the
plastic and the interlock components.
Geared spindle and Food Pushers
• The large food pusher and geared spindle should
only be hand-washed.Do not place them into the
dishwasher.Washing the geared spindle in the
dishwasher will damage the spindle.
WARNING
Do not touch
the blades of the
Dicing Grid. They
are extremely sharp.
Blades and discs
• Blades and discs are razor sharp, do not touch.
Always use a spatula or brush to remove food
or when cleaning blades.
• Disc spindle, blades and discs can be washed
in the dishwasher.
Dicer
Use the dicer cleaning cap to clear out excess
food built up in the dicing grid after EACH USE
or each 10 cups.
• Straight after dicing, remove the dicing disc
from the bowl while leaving the dicing grid inside
the bowl.
• Attach the cleaning cap to the bottom of the
large pusher.
• Align the markings on the cleaning cap with the
markings on the dicing grid, push down to clear
out the food in the grid.
• Repeat four times going around the grid until the
entire grid is cleared.
Care & Cleaning

20
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp
cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food
particles from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers
on either the motor base or the jug, as they may
scratch the surface. Use only warm soap water
with a soft cloth.
Stubborn food stains and odours
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, sh and
some vegetables such as carrots may leave
an odour or stain the bowl or lid.
To remove, pour warm soapy water and ll
to the MAX LIQUID mark. Set aside to soak for
5 minutes, without immersing the whole bowl.
Then wash with a mild detergent and warm
water, rise well and dry thoroughly. Store the
bowl with the lid o.
Storage
Place the large food pusher (with medium and
small pushers inserted) into the feed chute
for storage.
Store your food processor upright, with the
bowl and lid resting in position, but not locked.
Locking the bowl and lid can put unnecessary
strain on the safety interlock.
All accessories should be kept in the storage
container and out of the reach of children to
avoid accidental cuts. It is not recommended to
store the discs in a drawer with other utensils.
Do not place anything else on top of your food
processor during storage.

21
EN
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Food is unevenly
processed • Ingredients should be cut evenly into 2.5cm pieces before processing.
• Ingredients should be processed in batches to avoid overloading.
Slices are slanted
or uneven • Place evenly cut food into the feed chute.
• Apply even pressure on the pusher.
Food falls over
in the feed chute • The large feed chute must be packed full for best results.If processing
smaller quantities, place items to the far left in the feed chute, or use
a smaller feed chute, depending on the food size.
French fries cutter • Always clear any blocked potato before processing more potatoes.
Some food remains
on top of the disc
after processing
• It is normal for small pieces to remain after processing.
Motor slows down
when kneading
dough
• Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity.
Remove half and process in two batches.
• Dough may be too dry. If motor speeds up, continue processing.
If not, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the motor speeds
up. Process until dough cleans the side of the processing bowl.
Dough doesn’t
clean inside of the
processing bowl
• Amount of dough may exceed food processor maximum capacity.
Remove half and process in two batches.
• Dough may be too dry.
Dough nub forms on
top of dough blade
and dough does not
become uniformly
kneaded
• Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces
and redistribute them evenly in the processing bowl.
Dough feels tough
after kneading • Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in processing bowl.
Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable. Allowing dough
to rest allows the gluten strands to relax and become more pliable.
Dough is too dry • While machine is running, add water through the small feed chute,
1 tablespoon at a time until dough cleans the inside of the processing bowl.
Dough is too wet • While machine is running, add our through the small feed chute,
1 tablespoon at a time until dough cleans the inside of the processing bowl.
Troubleshooting

22
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
The motor
does not start • There is a safety interlock switch to prevent the motor from starting
if it is not properly assembled. Make sure the processing bowl and
lid are securely locked into position.
• If you are slicing or shredding and the above solution does not work,
make sure that the food contents in the feed chute are cut below the
maximum ll line so that the activation rod can engage the motor.
• Make sure the large food pusher is inserted in the feed chute low
enough to engage safety interlock switch.
• If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and power outlet.
The food processor
shuts o during
operation
• The lid may have become unlocked; check to make sure it is securely
in position.
• If the motor overloads, the ‘OVERLOAD’ icon in the LCD will start
to ash. Switch o by pressing the POWER / OFF button and unplug
the power cord. Allow the food processor to cool for 20–30 minutes
before resuming.
The motor slowed
down during
operation
• This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g. slicing/shredding cheese)
may require the motor to work harder. Reposition the food in the feed
chute and continue processing.
• The maximum load capacity may have been exceeded. Remove
some of the ingredients and continue processing.
The food processor
vibrates/moves
during processing
• Make sure the rubber feet at the bottom of the unit are clean and dry.
Also make sure that the maximum load capacity is not being exceeded.
• This is normal as some heavier loads may require the motor to work harder.
INSERT PUSHER
ashing
• Make sure that food does not exceed the max line in the food chute.
• If pusher is fully inserted and this warning ashes on the screen, check
that the bowl and lid are assembled correctly. Bowl handle should be
facing the front of the unit.
The food processor
stalls when dicing • Stop the machine, very carefully remove the dicing disc.
Using the cleaning cap, clear out the food built up in the
dicing grid and dicing disc.
• Some foods are too hard for the dicer to process, and cause
the motor to stop. Some foods need to be par-cooked, check
the food processing guide.
