Instructions for Use

Before First Use
Before using the food processor for the first time, wash all of the accessories except the blade attachments in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe the food processor base unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Never touch the blades; using extreme caution, clean the blades with a brush and dry carefully.

Using the Food Processor
All attachments must be securely fitted before use; do not attempt to remove them until the blades have stopped moving.

STEP 1: Before connecting to the mains power supply, position the food processor base unit onto a flat, stable surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user.
STEP 2: Place the transmission shaft onto the center of the food processor base unit so that the tabs are aligned.
STEP 3: Add the processor bowl onto the food processor base unit so that the transmission shaft goes up through the center of the processor bowl. Align the tabs and rotate the processor bowl in a clockwise direction until it locks into place. The handle should be facing to the right after it is locked.
STEP 4: Select the desired attachment.
For the chopper blade, emulsifier disk and dough blade, place the blade attachment adaptor onto the transmission shaft and then flt the desired attachment.
For the shredding/slicing disc, place the disc directly onto the transmission shaft. Insert the desired disc shredding side up or slicing side up, depending on  the nature of the food to be prepared.
STEP 5: Add the ingredients to the processor bowl.
STEP 6: Position the processor bowl lid onto the processor bowl and secure in place by aligning the tabs and then twisting in a clockwise direction until it locks.
STEP 7: Insert the food pusher into the feeding chute.
STEP 8: Plug in and switch on the food processor at the main power supply.
STEP 9: Holding the processor bowl steady, rotate the control dial in a clockwise direction to the required setting until the food is chopped to the preferred size. Turn the control dial back to ‘O’ and wait for the blades to stop rotating before removing the processor bowl lid.
STEP 10: Additional food may be added to the chopped ingredients by removing the processor bowl lid, adding the ingredients, and then replacing the processor bowl lid before repeating the chopping process. Alternatively, ingredients can be added via the feeding chute and pushed down with the food pusher if required.
STEP 11: To remove the processor bowl from the food processor base unit, remove the processor bowl lid and carefully remove the chopping attachment without touching the blade. Twist the processor bowl in an anticlockwise direction and pull it away from the food processor base unit.

NOTE: Check that the processor bowl lid is securely fitted before use.
Switch off and unplug the food processor from the main power supply before adding or removing food.
WARNING: Do not use fingers to push food down the feeding chute; only use the food pusher.
Do not operate the food processor without food, as this can cause damage.
Switch off and unplug the food processor from the mains power supply before attempting to remove the chopper blade attachment and before cleaning.
Max. operation time is l ½ minutes. Allow cooling for l minute before using the food processor again.
