Using

Using the attachments
Refer to recommended speed chart for each attachment.

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, pâté, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.

hints

• 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 appliance is running.
• When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/3/4in.cubes.
• Take care not to over-process.

Dough tool
Use for yeasted dough mixes.

• 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 this will take approx. 60 secs.
• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

dual whisk
Use for light mixtures only e.g. egg whites, cream, evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage it.

using the whisk

1. Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Push each beater 8 securely into the drive head.
3. Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft.
4. Add the ingredients.
5. Fit the lid – ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid.
6. Switch on.

important

• The whisk is not suitable for making all in one cake mixes as these mixes are too heavy and will damage it. Always use the knife blade.

hints

• Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.
• Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease before whisking.
• Heavier ingredients such as flour and dried fruit should be folded in by hand.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity or processing time stated in the recommended speed chart.

Folding tool
Use the folding tool to fold light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses and fruit fools.

1. Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Push the paddle 9 securely into the drive head.
3. Fit the folding tool by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft.
4. Add the ingredients.
5. Fit the lid – ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid .
6. Select low speed (speed 1 -2).

To remove the beater
Detach the beater from the drive head by pressing the release button 10.

Hints

• Do not use Auto or high speed as a low speed is required to optimise the folding performance.
• For best results do not over whisk egg whites or cream – the folding tool will not be able to fold the mixture correctly if the whisked mix is too firm.
• Do not fold the mixture for longer than stated in the recommended speed chart as the air will be knocked out and the mix will be too loose.
• Any unmixed ingredients left on the paddle or sides of the bowl should be carefully folded in using the spatula.

max capacity disc
When blending liquids, use the max capacity disc with the knife blade. It allows you to increase the liquid processing capacity from 1.4 litre to 2 litres, prevents leaking and improves the chopping performance of the blade.

1. Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Fit the knife blade.
3. Add ingredients to be processed.
4. Fit the capacity disc over the top of the blade ensuring it sits on the ledge inside the bowl 11. Do not push down on the capacity disc.
5. Fit the lid and switch on.

slicing/grating discs

slicing discs – 4mm 27, 2mm 28
Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, courgette, beetroot and onions.

2. Holding by the centre grip, place the disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost 12.
3. Fit the lid.
4. Put the food in the feed tube. Choose which size feed tube you want to use. The pusher contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or thin food items. To use the small feed tube – first put the large pusher inside the feed tube. To use the wide feed tube – fit the small pusher into the wide pusher and turn clockwise to lock in place. Do not fill the feed tube above the maximum level as the processor will not operate unless the wide feed tube pusher is fitted correctly.
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. Alternatively use the small feed tube.
• When using the Julienne disc, place ingredients horizontally.
• When slicing or grating: food placed upright 13 comes out shorter than food placed horizontally 14.
• 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.

Mini bowl and knife (if supplied)
Use the mini processor bowl to chop herbs and process small quantities of ingredients e.g. meat, onion, nuts, mayonnaise, vegetables, purées, sauces and baby food.

Do not overfill the bowl.

• The appliance will not work if the compact chopper/grinder is incorrectly fitted.
• Do not process turmeric root in the compact chopper/grinder as it is too hard and may damage the blades.

hints

• For optimum performance when processing spices we recommend that you do not process more than 100g at a time in the compact chopper/grinder.
• Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
• To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
• Cut ginger up into small pieces before processing.
• For best results the mini bowl attachment is recommended when chopping herbs.

4. Cut the fruit in half. Then switch on and press the fruit onto the cone.
   • The citrus juicer will not operate if the sieve is not locked correctly.
   • For best results store and juice the fruit at room temperature and hand roll on a worktop before juicing.
   • To help with juice extraction move the fruit from side to side when juicing.
   • When juicing large quantities, empty the strainer regularly to prevent the build up of pulp and seeds.

To use the juice extractor

1. Fit the drive adaptor onto the power unit 21 – push down lightly to ensure the adaptor is located correctly.
2. Then fit the bowl. Place the handle towards the back and turn clockwise until it locks 22.
3. Place the pulp remover into the filter drum – ensuring the tabs locate with the slots in the bottom of the drum 23.
4. Fit the filter drum 24.
5. Place the attachment lid onto the bowl, turn until it locks and the feed tube sits over the handle 25. Your juice extractor will not operate if the bowl or lid are not fitted correctly into the interlock.
6. Place a suitable glass or jug under the juice outlet.
7. Cut the food to fit the feed tube.
8. Select Auto and push down evenly with the pusher – never put your fingers in the feed tube. Process fully before adding more.
   • After adding the last piece, let the juice extractor run for a further 30 seconds to extract all the juice from the filter drum.

safety

• Do not use the juice extractor if the filter is damaged.
• Only use the pusher supplied. Never put your fingers in the feed tube. Unplug before unblocking the feed tube.
• Before removing the lid, switch off and wait for the filter to stop.

important

• If the juice extractor starts to vibrate, switch off and empty the pulp from the drum. (The juice extractor vibrates if the pulp becomes unevenly distributed).
• Maximum capacity that can be processed at one time is 1Kg of fruit or vegetables (refer to speed chart).
• Some very hard foods may make your juice extractor slow down or stop. If this happens switch off and unblock the filter.
• Switch off and clear the pulp collector regularly during use.

hints

• Before processing remove stones and pips (eg pepper, melon, plum) and tough skins (eg melon, pineapple). You don’t need to peel or core apples and pears.
• Use firm, fresh fruit and vegetables.
• To maximise juice extraction place small quantities at a time in the feed tube and push down slowly.
• Citrus fruit – peel and remove the white pith, otherwise the juice may taste bitter. For best results use the citrus juicer.

Attachment storage box
Your food processor is supplied with a storage box for your bowl attachments and discs.

1. Fit the knife blade and discs into the storage box when not in use 26.
2. The storage box is fitted with a safety lock – close the lid to lock. To open, push the tab in 27 and lift up the lid 28.

Care & Cleaning

• Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
• Handle the blades and cutting discs with care – they are extremely sharp.
