knife blade

The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved.
For coarser textures use the pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.

It can also be used for yeasted dough mixes.

hints
knife blade

• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.

• Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the machine is running.

• When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/3/4in.cubes.

• Take care not to over-process.
  dough

• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 secs.

• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

emulsifying tool / whisk

Use for egg whites and cream only.

hints

• Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.
• Ensure the bowl and whisk are clean and free from grease before whisking.

slicing/shredding discs

To use the discs.

reversible slicing/shredding discs – thick

Use the shredding side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.

3. Fit the lid.
4. Put the food in the feed tube.
5. Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher – never put your fingers in the feed tube.

hints

• Use fresh ingredients

• Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full.
  This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.

• Food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontal.

• There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

citrus press

The citrus press will not operate if the sieve is not locked correctly.
