The rated power is based on the Compact Chopper/Mill attachment. Other attachments may draw less power.
Should excessive vibration occur when using an attachment, either reduce the speed or stop the machine and remove some of the contents.
Attachments will be damaged and may cause injury if the interlock mechanism is subjected to excessive force.
DO NOT process hot ingredients.
SCALD RISK: Hot ingredients must be allowed to cool to room temperature before placing in the food processor bowl, mill, goblet or before blending.

Blender attachment

Never fit the blade unit to the power unit without the blender goblet fitted.
AT282 Important – The skirt on the bottom of the goblet is fitted during manufacture and no attempt should be made to remove it.
Only operate the blender with the lid in place.
Only use the goblet with the blade assembly supplied.
Never run the blender empty.
Smoothie recipes – never blend frozen ingredients that have formed a solid mass during freezing; break it up before adding to the goblet.
Do not process spices such as cloves, dill and cumin seeds as they may damage the plastic parts.
Do not use the blender as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after use.
Never blend more than the maximum marked on the goblet – less for frothy liquids such as milk shakes.

Food Processor

The knife blade and discs are extremely sharp, handle with care. Always hold by the finger grip at the top, away from the cutting edge, both when handling and cleaning.
When slicing/grating do not let the bowl fill up as far as the cutting disc: empty it regularly.
Do not exceed the ‘MAX’ capacity level on the bowl.
Always remove the knife blade before pouring contents from the bowl.
Never use your fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the pusher supplied.
Before removing the lid from the food processor bowl switch off and wait until the blade or discs have completely stopped.
Do not use the lid to operate the food processor, always use the speed control.

Food Mincer

Always ensure bones and rind etc. are removed from the meat before mincing.
When mincing nuts, only feed a few down at a time and allow the scroll to pick them up before adding any more.
Always use the mincer pusher supplied. Never put your fingers or utensils in the feed tube.
Warning – the cutting blade is sharp, handle with care both in use and when cleaning.
Ensure the attachment is secured in position before switching on.
Do not wash any part in the dishwasher. Never use a soda solution.
Wipe the screens with vegetable oil, then wrap in greaseproof paper to prevent discolouring/rusting.

Juice Extractor

To Use Your Bowl and Tools

Refer to Illustrations –

Press down on the head release lever and gently raise the mixer head.
Fit the bowl – turn clockwise to lock.
Push the selected tool into the tool socket – you will hear a ‘click’ when fitted securely.

To prevent food ingress – always ensure the guard is fitted onto the shaft of the dough hook before inserting into the outlet.

Press down on the head release lever and lower the head gently down. Plug into the power supply.
Slide the splashguard onto the bowl to fit.

During mixing, ingredients can be added directly to the bowl via the chute.

Turn the speed control to the desired setting, Use pulse (P) for short bursts of speed.

After processing turn the speed control to ‘O’ and unplug from the power supply. Raise the mixer head and whilst holding it steady, pull the tool from the outlet.

Hints and Tips
Beater

When creaming fat and sugar for cake mixes, always use the fat at room temperature or soften it first.
Switch off and scrape the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
Use cold ingredients for pastry unless your recipe states otherwise.

Dough hook

The ingredients mix best if you put the liquid in first.
At intervals stop the machine and scrape the mixture off the dough hook.

Flour

Different batches of flour vary in the amount of liquid required.
The stickiness of the dough has a direct effect on the load on the machine. Keep the machine under observation whilst the dough is mixing.

Whisk
Important

Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures e.g. creaming fat and sugar as you will damage it.
Best results achieved when eggs are at room temperature.
Before whisking egg whites, make sure there is no grease or egg yolk on the whisk or the bowl.
Mayonnaise – for best results scrape down the bowl after the addition of the oil and run for a further 10 secs at max speed.
Batter Mixes – add the flour to the bowl first, then liquid and mix on minimum speed to incorporate the ingredients.

Electronic Speed Sensor Control

Your mixer is fitted with an electronic speed sensor control that is designed to maintain the speed under different load conditions, such as when kneading bread dough or when eggs are added to a cake mix.
You may therefore hear some variation in speed during the operation as the mixer adjusts to the load and speed selected – this is normal.

Points to note:

Never exceed the maximum capacities stated – you may overload the machine.
Some movement of the mixer head is normal when mixing heavy loads such as bread dough.
If the mixer head is raised during operation, the machine will continue to operate. Always switch off before raising the head.
The machine will not operate unless all the outlet covers are correctly fitted.
If you hear the machine labouring either switch off and remove some of the mixture or increase the speed.
Your mixer has been fitted with a ‘soft start’ feature to minimise spillage. However if the machine is switched on with a heavy mixture in the bowl such as bread dough, you may notice that the mixer takes a few seconds to reach the selected speed.
Always remove attachments fitted to the outlets before raising the mixer head.

Using the Drive Outlets

High Speed Outlet ④ attachments

To use the large feed tube – use both pushers together.

Do not let the bowl fill up as far as the cutting disc: empty it regularly.
Do not exceed the ‘MAX’ capacity level on the bowl.

Hints and Tips

When using the reversible discs ensure that the required cutting side is uppermost.
Use fresh ingredients.
Do not cut food up too small. To stop food slipping over during processing fill the width of the large feed tube or use the small feed tube.
When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
After use there will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in with the food.

Switch off and empty the pulp and juice containers regularly during use.

Hints and Tips

Citrus Fruit – For best result use the Citrus juicer which is available separately.
Insert soft food slowly to get the most juice.
Remove stones (plums, peaches, cherries etc).
Remove tough skins (melons, pineapples, cucumbers, etc).
Soft-skinned and other foods just need washing (apples, pears, carrots, spinach, grapes, strawberries, celery etc).

Health recommendations

To retain the vitamins drink the juice as soon as possible.
If you need to store the juice for a few hours put it in the fridge and add a few drops of lemon juice to keep it fresh.
Do not drink more than three 230ml (8 fl.oz.) glasses of juice a day unless you’re used to it.
Dilute juice for children with an equal amount of water.
Juice from dark green (broccoli, spinach etc.) or dark red (beetroot, red cabbage etc.) vegetables is extremely strong, so always dilute it.
Fruit juice is high in fructose (fruit sugar), so people with diabetes or low blood sugar should avoid drinking too much.

To dismantle the Juicer
