  Important – Plug and Fuse Information

• The wires in the cord are coloured as follows: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.

• If the plug supplied with your appliance has a fuse fitted it is rated 10A or 13A. If the fuse fails it must be replaced with one of the same rating.

• If the plug or cord requires replacing a new cord set should be fitted by an Authorised Braun Repairer.

Note:

• For non-rewireable plugs the fuse cover MUST be refitted when replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost then the plug must not be used until a replacement can be obtained. The correct fuse cover is identified by colour and a replacement may be obtained from your Braun Authorised Repairer (see Service).
• If a non-rewireable plug is cut off it must be DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock hazard may arise if an unwanted non-rewireable plug is inadvertently inserted into a 13A socket outlet.
• This appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

1. Fit the sealing ring into the blade assembly – ensuring the seal is located correctly in the grooved area.
   •  Leaking will occur if the seal is damaged or incorrectly fitted.

2. Hold the underside of the blade assembly and insert the blades into the goblet – turn anticlockwise until it is secure. Refer to the graphics on the underside of the blade assembly as follows:
   – Unlocked position
   – Locked position

3. Put your ingredients into the goblet.

Hints and Tips
•  When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender. Remove the filler cap. Then, with the appliance running, add the oil slowly through the hole in the lid.
•  Thick mixtures, e.g. pâtés and dips, may need scraping down. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid.
•  The processing of spices is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts.
•  To blend dry ingredients – cut into pieces, remove the filler cap, then with the appliance running, drop the pieces down one by one. Keep your hand over the opening. For best results empty regularly.
14 Knife Blade
Follow the instructions under ‘to use your food processor’.
Hints and Tips

• For coarser textures use the pulse control.
• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm.
• Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running.
• Take care not to over-process.
• When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm cubes.

15 Dough Tool
Use for yeasted dough mixes.
Hints and Tips

• Do not process for longer than 60 seconds.
• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed.
• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

16 Emulsifying Tool
Follow the instructions under ‘to use your food processor’.
Use for light mixtures only e.g. cream, mayonnaise.
Hints and Tips

• Ensure the bowl and tool are clean and free from grease before use.

• Do not cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full.This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.
• When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
• There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.
