POTATO PEELER

• Potato peeling made easy
  Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes. The Breville peeler will peel potatoes in batches of 6–7, depending on the exact size. Peeling is very fast, and may finish quicker than expected. Keep your eye on progress, and it should be done in 20 to 30 seconds.

• Size matters
  The best size potatoes to use are around 65mm x 65mm, which is about the size of this illustration. Choose potatoes that are round, rather than elongated. Use whole potatoes, as cutting potatoes into half or quarters creates square edges that won’t peel efficiently. Using rounder potatoes will reduce the amount of waste.

• Positioning the peeler
  Place the spindle into the bowl, then the peeler over the top. Position peeler with curved side up, and supporting ribs facing down.

• Loading the potatoes
  Position 6–7 potatoes evenly on top of the peeler. Potatoes should have enough room to freely roll and rumble. If potatoes are too tightly packed, the peeling won’t be as effective. Keep in mind that the peeling works best with a complete batch, and peeling just a couple of potatoes won’t be as efficient. Lock lid in place before starting, and never insert potatoes through the chute.

• How long to peel
  Peeling is very quick, with most potatoes taking 25–30 seconds. Less time in the peeler means less waste, but you may have to remove the eyes by hand with a paring knife. More time in the peeler will take a thicker layer off, including most of the eyes.

Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Before using your food processor or blender for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the POWER button is OFF and the appliance is unplugged.
• Be careful when handling the blades and discs as they are extremely sharp.
• Wash the processing bowl, processing lid and all attachments in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The attachments may be washed in the dishwasher.
• When first using your appliance, you may notice an odour coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.
• Always use the appliance on a dry, level work surface.

1. Position the processing bowl onto the motor base with the handle in line with the ALIGN HANDLE graphic on the motor base.
2. Turn the bowl clockwise until the handle locks to the front. The processing bowl should now be securely locked into position. The food processor will not operate unless the bowl is locked into position correctly.
3. The spindle is required when using ALL discs and blades. Failing to use the spindle will damage the parts, and incorrect use this way may cause the parts to fuse together.
4. Before placing the lid onto the processing bowl, position the spindle over the coupling in the centre of the processing bowl. Then position your chosen blade or disc over it. The blades drop down lower than the discs.
5. Place lid onto the processing bowl so that the ALIGN | LOCK graphics on the lid and handle align. To LOCK the lid, hold the chute and turn clockwise so that the handle parts align.
6. To use the blender (in the BFP580), position the blending jug onto the motor base, with ALIGN graphics matching. Turn clockwise until the handle locks to the front.

Functions

SPEED CONTROL
Many recipes process best with a combination of speeds with occasional use of pulse.
PULSE
Momentary burst of high power.
LOW
Low speed to combine more delicate foods, and is good for combining wet and dry ingredients.
HIGH
High speed is ideal for breaking down ingredients to make cocktails (in the blender), and other fine textured mixtures (in the food processor).
OPERATION
The food processor will only operate when the processing bowl or blending jug is correctly locked into position. To prevent premature motor wear, always use the control dial to turn the food processor on and off.

Tips

• After processing, wait until the blades/discs have stopped moving before unlocking the lid. To ensure safe handling, turn off and unplug at the power outlet before handling the blades.
• When removing blades/discs, lift by carefully grip the plastic hub in the centre.
• If the volume (while blending) is below the maximum line, the inner measuring cap can be removed and oils/liquids can be added while blender is in use.
• Caution should be taken if blending large volumes or thin liquids, as splashing may occur through the centre cap area.
• Run the blender only for the appropriate amount of time required. Do not over blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE setting when food is too thick or coarse to circulate within the blender jug.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of the blender jug. To push food back onto the blades, turn the blender off and unplug at the wall. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug, and then continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid appears on top of the motor base during blending, turn the blender off and unplug at the wall. Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor base immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that the blender can process is 8 cubes from a standard ice tray.
• Use the PULSE function for foods that only require short bursts of power, such as chopping nuts and crushing ice.
• When blending drinks with ice cubes or frozen fruit, use PULSE in short bursts.
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage the blades or blender jug.
• Do not blend a heavy mixture for more than 10 seconds. For normal blending tasks, do not blend longer than 1 minutes at a time. If you need to blend longer, turn off the blender and stir ingredients before starting again. This rest will help protect the motor from wear and tear.
• The blender will not knead dough, or mash potatoes.
• When blending warm ingredients, do not put more than 2 cups at a time in.
• Do not blend hot or boiling ingredients. Allow food to cool down to a warm state before placing in the blender. This is to safeguard against sudden bursts of steam that could cause the lid to dislodge.
• If blending warm ingredients, place a tea towel over the lid and hold down firmly.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM

• The motor is protected from burning out by an automatic cut-out switch. If the appliance is overloaded or operated continuously for too long, the motor may overheat and stop.
• Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use the food processor as usual again.
• Note that some stiff mixtures (such as bread dough) may cause the blade to rotate more slowly than normal. If this happens, do not process for more than 1 minute.
• If the blades or discs jam with food while processing, immediately and unplug from the power outlet before clearing the wedged food. If this happens more than once, the bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in smaller batches.

PEELING POTATOES WITH THE PEELER DISC

• Size and shape matter when using the peeler disc. Choose round (rather than long) potatoes, and aim for approximately 65mm in diameter. There is a size guide at the front of this instruction book.
• Place the peeler over the spindle. Position peeler with curved side up, and supporting ribs facing down.
• With the lid still off, evenly space the potatoes around the disc. Peeling works best when the peeler is fully loaded, making sure that potatoes are in a single row around the edge. Do not stack or cram additional potatoes in, as they need space to roll.
• Use whole potatoes only, do not use potatoes that have been cut in half or quarters.
• Place and lock the lid before peeling, and never insert potatoes through the chute.
• Keep your eye on the potatoes during peeling, as they may finish more quickly than expected. For minimum waste, there may be some eyes remaining, which can be removed with a paring knife.

CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD® BLADE
The micro-serrated Quad blade chops raw and cooked food to the consistency required, from coarsely chopped to minced. The blades process very efficiently, and may take less time than expected to process many large tasks. Always remember to place the spindle and Quad blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. Avoid over-processing by checking the consistency frequently. For many tasks, we recommend using the PULSE button, as it may only take a few seconds to fully process food to your desired consistency. If necessary, turn the POWER off and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to encourage even processing.

• Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats
  Trim and cut food into 2.5cm cubes. Process no more than 5½ cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

• Raw meat, chicken and fish
  Trim excess fat and cut food into 2.5cm cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well in freezer until firm as this will help to cut through the food more readily. Process no more than 1kg of raw meat at a time. At this capacity the motor should run for no more than 30 seconds at a time. Use a combination of the START and the PULSE button until chopped or minced to the desired consistency.

• Garlic, chilli and ginger
  Peel garlic cloves and process them whole. Leave chillies whole, or remove seeds for milder chilli. Peel and cut ginger into 2.5cm cubes. For other solid herbs like lemongrass or galangal, peel and cut into cubes or pieces between 1 and 2cm in size. Size should be made smaller for harder or more dense herbs. Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. If adding garlic, chilli or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down the small feed chute while the motor is running.

• Leafy herbs
  Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove any coarse stems. Process no more than 2 bunches of herbs (approx. 4 cups) at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. Use leafy herbs immediately for the most aromatic results in your recipe.

• Nuts
  Process no more than 4 cups of shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.

• Dried fruit
  Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick to the blades during processing. We recommend putting dried fruit in the freezer for about 10 minutes before processing. Process no more than 2 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. If chopping fruit to add to cake mixture, process the fruit before making the cake mix. Add a little flour (from the quantity of flour in the recipe) to prevent fruit from sticking to the Quad blade. We do not recommend chopping large dried fruits such as dates and figs.

• Soft breadcrumbs
  Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will stick to blades). Process no more than 4 slices at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency. For best results when making bread crumbs, add one slice at a time.

• Dried breadcrumbs
  Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until golden and crisp. Do not over brown. Process no more than 4–6 slices at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals.

• Biscuit crumbs
  Break biscuits into quarters, and weigh a maximum of 250g. Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. Sweet or savoury biscuit crumbs can be used as an alternative to pastry for sweet or savoury pies. Do not process very hard biscuits as this may damage the blades.

• PURÉEING WITH THE QUAD® BLADE
  The micro-serrated Quad blade purées raw and cooked food to the consistency required, including baby food. The blades process very efficiently, and cut the time needed to purée many tasks.
  Always remember to place the Quad blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. Carefully remove the Quad blade after puréeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.

• Baby food
  Trim and cut vegetables and meat into 2.5cm cubes. Cook vegetables and meat before processing. Process no more than 5½ cups at a time using the START button in intervals until the food is puréed to a smooth and even consistency. Stock, milk or gravy can be added through the small feed chute if the mixture becomes too thick. Excess baby food can be frozen in ice-cube trays, and packed in single serve freezer bags ready for use.

• Peanut butter
  Process no more than 4 cups of shelled nuts at a time using the START button until chopped to the desired consistency. The volume of nuts reduces after processing, for example 2 cups of nuts will make around 1 cup of nut butter. Natural nut butter (without using stabilisers) will separate on standing, and needs to be stirred before use.

• MIXING WITH THE QUAD® BLADE
  The Quad blade mixes ingredients for cakes, batters, and cookie doughs.
  Always remember to place the spindle and Quad blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

• Butter cake and biscuit dough
  Place softened, chopped butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START button until the mixture is lightly creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time through the small feed chute, mixing well after each egg is added. Take lid off and add liquid and dry ingredients to the mixture. Process using the PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not over-process. Add choc chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc. after the main mixture is done. Use the PULSE button in very short bursts until the additions are combined. Do not over-process, as these larger ingredients will break down quickly.

• Quick-mix cakes and batters
  Place all ingredients in the bowl, starting with liquids, and being careful not to exceed the MAX LIQUID level. Process using the PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not over-process. This method can also be used for melt ’n’ mix cakes, packet cake mixes and crêpe batters.

• Pastry dough
  Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the processing bowl. Do not process more than 2 cups (300g) of flour using the START button in intervals until the butter is absorbed into the flour. Steadily add liquid through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture forms a ball.

• KNEADING WITH THE DOUGH BLADE
  Always remember to place the spindle and dough blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. The edges of the plastic dough blade create a softer action for combining dough ingredients. The dough blade encourages the gluten strands to be stretched rather than cut, and should be used for all yeast doughs, and any other doughs that require kneading.

• Bread or pizza dough
  Place flour and dry ingredients into the processing bowl, including instant active dry yeast. The food processor can handle up to 1kg of flour, however for best results we recommend not processing more than 6 cups (800g) at a time. Process using the START button in intervals. Steadily add liquid (including oil, if applicable) through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture until it forms a soft, elastic dough ball. Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if necessary until soft and pliable. If processing more than two recipes of dough ingredients (800g flour), allow the motor base to cool for an extended period before subsequent kneading to prevent the motor from overloading. Place dough into a large, greased mixing bowl and cover. Stand in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough then allow to rise in a warm area before baking

SLICING, GRATING AND SHREDDING

IMPORTANT

The spindle must be used with all blades and attachments.

• Adjustable slicer
  The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even and consistent thickness. It can be adjusted to 24 settings, from very fine (0.3mm) to thick (8.0mm). To adjust the slicing thickness, hold the adjustable slicing disc by the outer edge with one hand, and turn the adjustment dial on the underside with the other hand. An arrow graphic indicates the thickness of the slice you have chosen.

• Reversible grater and shredder
  This disc has an array of small blades on both sides of the disc. Align the disc so larger holes face up for courser textured results, or with the smaller holes facing up for finer results. The discs are labelled showing which side faces up.

CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS
It is important to position the food in the chute to gain maximum control and best results. The chute can be packed to fill the width of the chute. The food should fit snugly so it is supported in an upright position in the chute, but not so tight that it could prevent the food from moving down the chute. For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, etc., use the small feed chute. This will avoid the ingredient from tipping over during slicing.

• Pressure
  When processing, never force the food down the chute as this can damage the discs. Apply light pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes and bananas. Apply medium pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes and apples. Apply firm pressure for hard foods such as parmesan cheese and deli meats such as salami.

• Round fruit and vegetables
  Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing and peeling (if necessary). Small fruit and vegetables should be trimmed on one end so the food sits flat inside the feed chute. Large fruit and vegetables may need to be cut in half to fit in the chute.

• Long fruit and vegetables
  Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing and peeling (if necessary). Ingredients can be cut cross-sectionally to create circular results. Use the small and medium feed chute, or pack ingredients vertically in the large feed chute. Ingredients can be cut lengthwise to create ribbons. Use the large feed chute, and trim ingredients if necessary to encourage them to sit flat in the feed chute when the disc starts. Pack the large feed chute horizontally.

• Leafy vegetables
  Cut cabbage into wedges to fit the feed chute. For lettuce, separate leaves, then roll up and pack vertically in the feed chute.

• Cheese
  Caution should be taken when processing cheese in a food processor. For soft cheese such as mozzarella, partially freeze it until firm. This will help prevent jamming the disc. Round cheeses such as mozzarella should be trimmed at one end to encourage them to sit flat in the feed chute with the disc starts. Hard cheeses such as parmesan must be checked first to ensure they are not too hard (to avoid damaging blade edges). The cheese should slice easily with a sharp knife and remove the rind before processing. Wedged shaped cheeses such as parmesan can be packed side by side to form a rectangular shape in the chute.

• Deli meats
  Cut in lengths to fit the height of the feed chute. The length must not be higher than MAX CHUTE FILL graphic. Pack with the cut side facing down. For hard cured sausages like salami and pepperoni trim on one end and process one sausage at a time through the small or medium feed chute, depending on size.

• Grated chocolate
  Break a block of chocolate into small pieces, and chill until firm. Pack into the small feed chute, and then grate using either the coarse or fine side (do not use Quad blade or adjustable slicer).

Blending Chart

NOTE: This blending chart should be used as a guide only. The blender attachment is part of the Kitchen Wizz 8 Plus (BFP580) only.

Food Processing Guide

For more information about preparation of food and how to process, refer to basic processing techniques. For specific recipes, refer to the recipe section.

Care & Cleaning

Remove the power cord from the power outlet after use for safety reasons.
Blender jug, processing bowl and lids
To avoid food drying on the blades and jug, follow the below steps as soon as possible after use:• Rinse the jug and lid and wash separately in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or bottle brush.

• Take care to rinse all detergent off the jug after cleaning.

• It is most effective to clean the jug immediately after use.

• Blades and discs
  Blades and discs are razor-sharp, do not touch. Always use a spatula or brush to remove food or when cleaning blades.

• Motor base
  To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

• Cleaning agents
  Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soap water with a soft cloth.

• Dishwasher
  The blender jug, processing bowl and lids may occasionally be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only), however washing in the dishwasher is not recommended on a regular basis, as prolonged exposure to harsh detergents and high heat may shorten the life of the plastic.

• Stubborn food stains and odours
  Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odour or stain the bowl or lid. To remove, pour warm soapy water and fill to the MAX LIQUID mark. Set aside to soak for 5 minutes, without immersing the whole bowl. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rise well and dry thoroughly. Store the bowl with the lid off.

• Storage
  Place the large food pusher (with small pusher inserted) into the feed chute for storage. Store your food processor upright, with the bowl and lid resting in position, but not locked. Locking the bowl and lid can put unnecessary strain on the safety interlock. All accessories should be kept in a safe place out of the reach of children to avoid accidental cuts. It is not recommended to store the discs in a drawer with other utensils. For the BFP580, store accessories in the storage box provided, with the Quad blade inside the bowl. For the BFP560, store the Quad blade inside the bowl, with the variable slicer on top. These blades are extremely sharp, and the bowl provides natural protection. Do not place anything else on top of your food processor during storage.
