WARNING: THE BLADES OF THIS FOOD PROCESSOR ARE EXTREMELY SHARP! DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADES.

IMPORTANT: Your appliance is fitted with a safety features that will not allow it to function unless the processor bowl is fitted correctly. DO NOT attempt to override this feature.

Using the appliance

1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet and the speed selector is on the “OFF” position.
2. Always ensure that you use the processor on a stable, dry clean surface.

Using the Processor bowl. See Fig.1

1. Place the drive shaft on the motor unit, then fit the processor bowl over the top, lining up the handle with unlocked symbol.
2. Twist the handle anti clock wise to lock the bowl into place.

NOTE: Depending on the task required fit either the stainless steel blade or the stainless steel cutting disk.

Using the processor bowl with the Stainless steel blade. See Fig.1 and Fig.1a

The stainless steel blade is very versatile and can be used for chopping meat and vegetables, making salsa, stuffings, pates etc. The length of the processing will determine the fineness of the chopping and the texture achieved. Place the cutting blade into the centre of the bowl over the top of the drive shaft. Add the desired ingredients into the bowl.

NOTE: Do not over fill, if a large quantity is required it is better to do it in batches.

1. Fit the lid with the locking tab just to the left of the handle and turn anti-clockwise to lock into place – ensuring that the top of the drive shaft locates into the centre of the lid. The processor is now ready to use.

Tips for Stainless Steel blade

1. For best results cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into similar sized pieces (approx 2-3 cm) before processing.
2. Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed chute whilst the machine is running.
3. When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2 cm cubes.
4. You can always pour additional liquid through the feed chute whilst the machine is running to adjust the consistency of the mixture.
5. Always take care not to over process the ingredients, keep checking the mixture you can always process for longer if required.

Using the processor bowl with the stainless steel cutting disk. See Fig.1 and Fig.1b

The stainless steel cutting disc will allow you to slice and grate or shred. The disc has two cutting sides one for slicing and one for grating and shredding, Place the disc with the function you require uppermost e.g. if you want to slice a carrot have the slicing blade facing upwards. Fit the lid and using the pusher gently push the desired food stuff gently on to the blade do not force.

1. Place the cutting disc on to the top of the drive shaft, with the cutting blade you require uppermost.
   NOTE : the cutting disc cannot be fitted with the blade in place.

2. Fit the lid with the locking tab just to the left of the handle and turn anticlockwise to lock into place – ensuring that the top of the drive shaft locates into the centre of the lid. The processor is now ready to use.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate continuously for more then 3 minutes, allow the machine to cool before re-using.

Tips

1. Use Fresh Ingredients for best results
2. Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube as this prevents food from slipping sideways. Your processor has a large and small feed tube, use the feed chute that best fits the food you are cutting.
3. When using the slicer disc the size of the slice will depend on how you place the food in the feeder tube and which tube you use. Food placed to fill the feed tube will result in larger slices.
4. There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

Using the Blender

1. Your blender has a removable blade for easy cleaning (see section Cleaning and Maintenance), Ensure the blade assembly is securely in place with the sealing ring properly fitted. To remove or replace the blade assembly twist in the direction of the arrows.
2. Place the jug onto the main unit lining up the arrow on the jug with the unlock symbol on the main unit and turn anti-clockwise to lock into place.
3. Add ingredients. Fit the lid securely, the blender is now ready to use.

Tips

1. When blending thick mixtures, e.g pates and dips they may need scraping down , if they are difficult to process add more liquid.
2. You can always remove the filler cap and add extra liquid as the machine is running to achieve the desired consistancy.
3. When crushing ice add 15ml (1 tbsp) water to approx every 6 ice cubes and pulse using the turbo button.

IMPORTANT: Always cool hot liquids before blending.

NOTE: If blending warm liquids remove the filler cap and start at a low speed increasing to high speed if required. the pulse setting is not recommended for warm liquids. do not blend warm liquids over the 1l level, and always take care to avoid contact with any steam.

Using The Control Settings

Pulse setting

The pulse setting is for when you want short sharp bursts of power and as soon as you release the button it will stop. This is ideal if you want to roughly chop something like tomatoes or peppers and you require control so that you don’t end up with a pulp or finer mixture than required.

Setting 1 and 2

Settings 1 and 2 will operate continuously until you return the switch to the off position. Setting 2 being the faster and more powerful setting. When processing some ingredients you may want to use setting 1 and increase the power to setting 2 as and when required to give a boost to the process.

WARNING: ALWAYS ENSURE THE POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER OUTLET AND THE SPEED SELECTOR IS IN THE “0” OFF POSITION BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING ANY OF THE ATTACHMENTS.
