Food Preparation
This appliance is not suitable for chopping hard
items such as ice cubes or frozen produce.
Remove all bones from meat, stones from fruit, etc.
Cut the food into suitable small pieces (25mm, 1”
for hard foods and meat.)
The maximum quantity of food you can process
at any one time should not exceed 700g for soft
items and 600g for nuts and other items.
We suggest you keep the liquid content of food to
be processed to a minimum as excess liquid can
penetrate the motor.

attaching the lid or introduced via the funnel after
assembly.
Items for slicing should be cut into pieces which
can t easily into the feed tube.
It may be necessary with some foods to stop
the unit, and re-distribute the food before
continuing. Always switch the selector to ‘0’ and
unplug the appliance before removing the lid.
Slicing and Grating
Feed the food steadily into the appliance. DO NOT
force the food: allow the blade to do the work. Too
much force will overload the unit and may stall the
motor.
If you are feeding in celery stalks for
example, you may start with the pusher out and
then use the pusher to nish the process.
For larger slices, cut the food so that the pieces
t horizontally into the funnel and then use the
pusher to complete the task.
Using the pusher
Press the pusher in gently but rmly. Do not apply
excessive force especially when grating or slicing
food.
Do not run the appliance continuously for more
than 2 minutes. After extended use allow the
unit to cool for 3 minutes before the next use.

Switch the selector to‘0’(o). Check that the bowl
and lid are securely attached. If not, resecure the
bowl/lid and recommence operations.
If the appliance still will not start:
Unplug the unit and wait for 15 minutes until the
unit has completely cooled down. Reconnect the
power and resume using the appliance.
