SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
Your Breville appliance
is fitted with a short power supply cord to reduce personal injury or property
damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with a longer
cord. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or table-top where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over unintentionally and (3) the extension cord must include a
3-prong grounding plug.
BREVILLE ASSIST® PLUG
Your Breville appliance comes with a unique Assist® Plug, conveniently
designed with a finger hole to ease removal from the power outlet. For safety
reasons it is recommended you plug your Breville appliance directly into its
own electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit separate from other appliances.
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance
may not function properly.

Assembly
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Before using your food processor for the first 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 disks 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 may be washed in the dishwasher.
- When first using your food processor, you may notice an odor 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
- Position the processing bowl onto the motor base with the handle in line with the ALIGN HANDLE graphic on the motor base.
- 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 Disks
- Before placing the lid onto the processing bowl, choose the spindle for either the main bowl or mini bowl. Insert the spindle onto the center of the processing bowl.Then carefully attach a disk accessory onto the metal tip of the spindle and secure it in place.
- A spindle is required when using the following disks: adjustable slicer, French fries cutter and reversible shredder.
Mini Processing Bowl
The mini processing bowl fits inside the main bowl.
Use the mini-spindle with the mini-bowl. The mini-blade and disk accessories can be used with the mini-spindle. Please note that the mini blade cannot be used in the main processing bowl and the S-Blade cannot be used in the mini- 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 when the large pusher is in
position, it will allow the motor to run.
Functions
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 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 off.
Pressing the PLAY | PAUSE button will start the motor to run continuously,
and the timerwill count up to show processing time. Note that the motor is
only able to operate when the bowl, lid and large pusher are assembled
correctly.
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 flash. 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 flash. Ingredients can be added into the lid chute, and when the large pusher is re-inserted, the unit will continue to process. 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 specific length of time the ingredients should be processed. Each single press will adjust by 5 seconds, holding the button will adjust in 10 second 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 affect 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 disks have stopped moving before unlocking the lid.
Ensure that the unit has been turned off using the POWER button and unplug at
the power outlet before handling the blades. When removing the blades or
disks, lift the part by carefully gripping the plastic hub area in the center.
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 flash.
Unplug the food processor and allow to cool for 30 minutes. If the blades or disks stall while processing, immediately stop the machine, then unplug from the power outlet before clearing the wedge ingredients. If this happens more than once, the bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in smaller batches.
TIPS
Tips listed below are suggestions only. For more detailed instructions, refer to specific recipes provided online at www.breville.com
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 hardproduce through the large feed chute
could cause damage to the disks.
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 5.5 inches wide and can fit ingredients up to this
size. The food should fit 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 overfill the chute, as the pusher will not activate
the interlock safety catch if the chute is too full. Do not fill over the MAX
indicator.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down the chute as this can damage the
disks. Apply light, even pressure for soft foods such astomatoes and bananas.
Apply medium, even pressure for firmer 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 disks can be used on the mini-spindle to
process smaller quantities into the mini bowl.
Care & Cleaning
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 off 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 disks
- Blades and disks are razor sharp, do not touch. Always use a spatula or brush to remove food or when cleaning blades.
- Spindle, blades and disks 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.
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, fish and some vegetables such as carrots
may leave an odor or stain the bowl or lid. To remove, pour warm soapy water
and fill 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 off.
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 disks in a drawer with other
utensils. Do not place anything else on top of your food processor during
storage.
