To Assemble Your Food Processor Attachment

To Use Your Knife Blade

• Handle the knife blade with care – the blades are extremely sharp. Hold by the finger grip.
• Cut the food up and place into the bowl ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Hints and Tips

• Cut food up before placing into the bowl. Meat, bread, vegetables and other foods of a similar texture should be cut into cubes approximately 2cm/3⁄4 in. Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the machine is operating.
• If you want to blend soups, drain the ingredients and add the solids to the bowl. Process and then add back to the liquid.
• When making pastry, use solid fats cut into 2cm/ ¾ inch cubes straight from the fridge. Mix with the flour until breadcrumb stage is reached. Gradually add sufficient water down the feed tube to form a dough. Switch off as soon as the ingredients are combined.
• Take care not to over process when using the knife blade.
• Use the K-beater in the mixing bowl to mix cakes – you will get better results.

To Use Your Grating and Julienne Discs

• Handle the cutting discs with care – they are extremely sharp. Hold the disc by the finger grip.
• Choose which feed tube you want to use. The pusher contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or thin ingredients

Hints and Tips

• Use fresh ingredients.
• Do not cut food up too small. Fill the width of the large 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 thin ingredients horizontally.
• When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
• After using a cutting disc there will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the food.

To Use Your Adjustable Slicing Disc

• Select the slice thickness by turning the dial from 1 (extra thin) to 5 (extra thick).
• Important: to avoid injury keep hands away from the blade when selecting the slicing thickness.

To Use Your Dicing Attachment

Important

• The dicing position on the adjustable slicing disc is designed only to be used with the dicing attachment.
• The dicing pusher should only be used with the dicing grid. Using it without the dicing grid fitted will result in damage to the bottom of the pusher.
• To avoid injury keep hands away from the blade when selecting the slicing thickness.

Hints and Tips

• For best results, use fresh fruit and vegetables.
• To prevent the food from jamming do not pack the food tightly in the feed tube – ideally the food should be cut no larger than:
• If the food is too hard to push through the grid, cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, then allow to cool in a refrigerator before processing.
• Always remove hard skins, stones, pips and seeds etc., from food before processing.

Note:

• Due to the various sizes and shapes of foods, the diced results will contain some misshapen pieces, this is normal.
• Foods such as cheese, ham, and chorizo will clog in the grid so are not recommended for use with this attachment.

The Dicing Attachment can also be used to produce French fries, crudités and batons. (refer to illustration O)

• Select the slice thickness by turning the dial from 1 (extra thin) to 5 (extra thick).
• Important: to avoid injury keep hands away from the blade when selecting the slicing thickness.
  1. Fit the dicing grid without the adjustable disc.
  2. Then manually push the food through the grid without switching the appliance on.

Note: The food processor attachment must be assembled on your Stand Mixer when making crudités and French Fries.

To Dismantle Your Attachment

Storage bag (if supplied)

• Store your discs and dicing attachment in the storage bag.
• Always ensure that the adjustable slicing disc is turned to the storage positon (O) before placing in the bag or other storage location.
• For safety reasons the knife blade should be stored in the food processor bowl instead of the storage bag when not in use.
