Functions
Pressing the PULSE button will cause the
motor to operate only while the button is held
down. Sequential presses will cause the timer
to count up the collective processing time. This
momentary operation is ideal for foods that
need sudden bursts of power to encourage
ingredients to move or be integrated, or with
food types that only require processing for short
periods.
Use a combination of the PULSE and PLAY
| PAUSE buttons for more control when
processing ingredients.
Timer
During operation the timer will count-up from
zero to display the accumulated processing
time. Continuous operation will stop if the timer
reaches 20 minutes (19:59) and the unit will
return to standby mode.
To control the processing duration – press
the up or down arrows to set the timer for any
recipe that requires a specic length of time
the ingredients should be processed. Each
single press will adjust by 5 seconds, holding
the button will adjust in 10 second or higher
increments.The TIMER icon will be displayed
on the screen.
Press PLAY | PAUSE to initiate processing
and the unit will operate as the displayed time
counts down.The motor will run continuously
until the timer reaches zero. Removing the large
pusher or using the pause function will not
aect the set time during processing. Pressing
POWER or PULSE buttons during operation
will clear the timer and return to standby.After
Processing
Wait until the blades or discs have stopped
moving before unlocking the lid. Ensure that
the unit has been turned o using the POWER
button and unplug at the power outlet before
handling the blades or discs.
When removing the blades or discs, lift the part
by carefully gripping the plastic hub area in the
center.
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 feed chute safety system.
Control Panel
When the machine is connected to the power,
and the POWER button is pressed; the
buttons and screen will illuminate and the food
processor will be ready to operate. Pressing the
POWER button at this stage will turn the unit o.
Pressing the PLAY | PAUSE button will start
the motor to run continuously, and the timer will
count up to show processing time.
Press PLAY | PAUSE again while processing
and the motor will stop. The timer will stop and
both the pause icon and PLAY | PAUSE button
will ash. Press PLAY | PAUSE to continue
processing or press POWER to return to
standby.
Removing the large pusher during processing
will stop the motor.The timer will stop, the
INSERT PUSHER icon will be displayed and the
PLAY | PAUSE button will ash. Ingredients can
be added into the lid chute, and when the large
pusher is re-inserted, the unit will continue to
process.

16
Overload Protection System
The food processor has an overload protection
system to prevent damage to the motor – this
will cause the food processor to go into standby
mode and the OVERLOAD PROTECTION icon
will ash.
Unplug the food processor and allow to cool for
30 minutes.
If the blades or discs stall while processing,
immediately stop the machine, then unplug from
the power outlet before clearing the wedged
ingredients. If this happens more than once,
the bowl may be overloaded.Try processing in
smaller batches.
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. 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.
TIP
The best size potato for the peeling disc is
around 70mm x 70mm. Choose potatoes that
are round, rather than elongated.

French Fries
Disc
French Fry
Cut • Potatoes
• Sweet Potato
• Carrots
• Lay ingredients horizontally in large
feed chute to maximize length.
• For potatoes and softer produce,
use the large feed chute to maximize
length; however, for best results on
harder, brous produce, use the
medium chute for more control.
Dicing kit
(8, 16mm)
Dicing • Raw and cooked
vegetables and fruits
• Use small or medium feed chutes for
harder ingredients such as carrot or
pumpkin.To further improve results you
can also pre cook.
• When dicing tomatoes, avocadoes
rmer fruit will give a better result
• Always use the Dicing Distributor
assembled to the dicing gearbox.This
will keep the area underneath the chute
clear and prevent blockages.
Potato Peeler Peeling • Raw potatoes • For best results, use consistent shaped
potatoes.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Due to the harder and more brous nature;
DO NOT DICE the following:
• Cheese
• Raw sweet potato / kumara.
• Meat including hard deli meats.
• Fruit and vegetables with tough skin
such as pineapple and watermelon.
These should be peeled rst.
IMPORTANT NOTES
For optimal results, position food in the chute
and use the pusher to push food with light
downward force prior to starting the food
processor.
Always use the small or medium size feed chute
for processing hard produce like pumpkin and
sweet potato. Feeding hard produce 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
The wide feed chute is 14cm wide and can t
ingredients up to this size. The food should t
snugly so it is supported in an upright position
in the chute, but not so tight that it could prevent
the food from moving down the chute. Ensure
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 indicator.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down the
chute as this can damage the discs. Apply light,
even pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes
and bananas. Apply medium, even pressure for
rmer foods such as potatoes, cheese, deli meats
and apples.
Mini Bowl
The mini processing bowl is used inside the main
processing bowl. It is for better control when
processing small quantities of food, or herbs.
Use the mini-spindle with the mini bowl and then
add the mini-blade for chopping, mixing and
blending a variety of ingredients. Alternatively, the
‘Adjustable Slicing’, Shredding or French Fries
discs can be used on the mini-spindle to process
smaller quantities into the mini bowl.
Dicing kit
Do not dice raw sweet potato / kumara. Its dry, hard
and brous nature may cause damage to the bowl
and lid due to heavy load.
Do not ll the Bowl with ingredients above the
MAX level on the side of the Bowl.
Do not assemble the cutting disc onto the gearbox
without the grid in place.
Always use the Dicing Distributor on the gearbox.

EN
Care &
Cleaning
Dicing Accessories
Follow the assembly instructions for dicing
cleaner. After dicing use the dicing accessory to
clean out residual food.
Dicing accessories can be washed in the
dishwasher excluding the dicing gearbox.
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 soapy water
with a soft cloth.
Stubborn food stains and odors
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, sh and
some vegetables such as carrots may leave an
odor 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, rinse 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.
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.
WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of
your food processor bowl if being exposed
to it for a longer period. Always clean your
processing bowl immediately after processing
citrus rind.
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.
• Spindle, blades and discs can be washed in the
dishwasher.
Food Pushers
All parts in the pusher stack can be placed in
the dishwasher (top rack).
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.

Troubleshooting
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 pressure, then start the machine.
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.
Unevenly cut french fries • 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 must not exceed maximum recommended quantity
on the recipe.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.
