   Note: Always fit the bowl and attachment onto the machine before adding ingredients.

3. Place ingredients into the bowl.

Using the Attachments

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, pate, dips, pureeing soups, and to also make crumbs from bread.

Tips:

• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/ 3/4-inch 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/ 3/4-inch cubes.
• Do not to over-process food.

Kneading blade:

1. Place dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquids down the feed tube whilst the machine is running.
2. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take approximately 30 secs.
3. Always re-knead dough by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

Attaching the Cutting Disc

1. Fit the driveshaft and bowl onto the motor base.

2. Holding the center grip, place the cutting disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side facing upwards.

3. Attach the lid ensuring the top of the drive shaft is inserted into the center of the lid.

4. 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. Place ingredients in the feed tube.

6. Switch on the food processor and push down evenly using the pusher. Never put your fingers inside the feed tube.

Tips:

• Use fresh ingredients.
• Do not 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.
• When using the chipper disc, place ingredients horizontally.
• When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
• There will always be a small amount of waste left on the plate or in the bowl after processing.

Slicing/Shredding disc:

1. Use the shredding side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.
2. Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, zucchini, beetroot, and onions.
3. Use to cut potatoes for julienne style French fries; firm ingredients for salads, garnishes, casseroles and stir-fries (e.g., carrot, swede, zucchini, cucumber).

CLEANING & CARE

• Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
• Always handle blades and cutting discs with care – they are extremely sharp.
• Some foods may discolor the plastic. This is perfectly normal and won’t harm the plastic or affect the flavor of your food. Rub with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to remove the discoloration.

Motor Base
Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area is clear of food debris.
Blades and Cutting Discs

• Wash by hand using warm, soapy water then dry thoroughly.
• Alternatively, these accessories can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher.
  A short low-temperature program is recommended.
