Using the attachments

Refer to the 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 making crumbs from biscuits and bread.

hints

  • Cut food such as meat, bread, and 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 such as egg whites, cream, evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges.

Using the whisk

  1. Fit the bowl onto the power unit, and add the detachable drive shaft.
  2. Push each beater 7 securely into the drive head.
  3. Fit the whisk by carefully turning it until it drops over the drive shaft.

  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. creaming fat and sugar

  • For best results, fat should be allowed to soften at room temperature (20°C) before creaming. DO NOT use fat straight from the fridge as this will damage the whisk.

  • 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.

  2. Holding by the centre grip, place the disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost bl.

  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 ingredients.
    To use the small feed tube – first put the large pusher inside the feed tube.
    To use the large feed tube – use both pushers together.

  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 fully. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively, use the small feed tube.
    • When using the Julienne or French fry disc, place ingredients horizontally.
    • When slicing or grating: food placed upright bm comes out shorter than food placed horizontally bn.
    • There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

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).
  • The maximum capacity that can be processed at one time is 800g 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.
