Choosing a speed for all functions

To use your food processor

1. Fit the detachable shaft onto the power unit 1.

2. Then fit the bowl. Place the handle towards the back and turn clockwise until it locks 2.

3. Fit an attachment over the drive shaft.
   Always fit the bowl and attachment onto the machine before adding ingredients.

4. Fit the lid 3 – ensuring the top of the drive shaft locates into the centre of the lid.
   Do not use the lid to operate the processor, always use the on/off control.

5. Switch on and select a speed.
   The processor won’t work if the bowl and lid are fitted incorrectly.

   Your processor is not suitable for crushing or grinding coffee beans, or converting granulated sugar to caster sugar.
   When adding almond essence or flavouring to mixtures avoid contact with the plastic as this may result in permanent marking.

To use your liquidiser

1. Fit the sealing ring 13 into the blade unit 14 – ensuring the seal is
   located correctly. Leaking will occur if the seal is
   damaged or not fitted correctly.

2. Screw the jug onto the blade unit.

3. Put your ingredients into the jug.

4. Put the filler cap in the lid, then turn.

5. Turn the lid in a clockwise direction to lock onto the jug.

6. Place the liquidiser onto the power unit and turn to lock 4.

7. Select a speed or use the pulse control.

     hints

   • When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil into the liquidiser. Then with the machine running, pour the oil into the filler cap and let it run through.

   • Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If it’s difficult to process, add more liquid.

   • When crushing ice use the pulse in short bursts.

   • To ensure the long life of your liquidiser, never run it for longer than 60 seconds. Switch off as soon as you’ve got the right consistency.

   • Don’t process spices – they may damage the plastic.

   • The machine won’t work if the liquidiser is fitted incorrectly.

   • Don’t put dry ingredients into the liquidiser before switching on. If  necessary, cut them into pieces; remove the filler cap; then with the machine running, drop them through one by one.

   • Don’t use the liquidiser as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after use.

   • Never blend more than 11⁄2 litres (2pts 12floz) – less for frothy liquids like milkshakes.

using the attachments

15 knife blade/16 dough tool

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, pate, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread. It can also be used for yeasted dough mixes if the dough tool is not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.
Hints: knife blade

• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/3⁄4in before processing.

• Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the machine 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

• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 – 90 secs.

• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

6. 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 large feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.
