Hints and Tips

When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender. Remove the filler cap. Then, with the appliance running, add the oil slowly through the hole in the lid.
Thick mixtures, e.g. pâtés and dips, may need scraping down. If the mixture is difficult to process, add more liquid.
The processing of spices is not recommended as they may damage the plastic parts.
To blend dry ingredients – cut into pieces, remove the filler cap, then with the appliance running, drop the pieces down one by one. Keep your hand over the opening. For best results empty regularly.

Knife Blade

Follow the instructions under ‘to use your food processor’.

Hints and Tips

For coarser textures use the pulse control.
Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm.
Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running.
Take care not to over-process.
When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm cubes.
For best results when processing sticky fruit/ingredients such as dates, use ‘Pulse’ first to break down the ingredients and then continue processing on maximum speed.

Dough Tool

Use for yeasted dough mixes. Follow the instructions under ‘to use your food processor’.

Hints and Tips

Do not process for longer than 60 seconds.
Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed.
Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

Emulsifying Disc

Follow the instructions under ‘to use your food processor’.

Hints and Tips

Ensure the bowl and tool are clean and free from grease before use.
Mayonnaise – Place the egg and seasonings into the bowl and mix for a few seconds. With the machine running gradually add the oil down the feed tube in a steady stream.

– Discs To Use The Cutting Discs

Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
Holding by the centre grip, place the disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost.
Fit the lid.
Put the food in the feed tube.
Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher 1 – never put your fingers in the feed tube.

Hints and Tips

Use fresh ingredients
Do not cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.
When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

Citrus Juicer (if supplied)

a Cone
b Sieve

To use the citrus juicer

Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
Fit the sieve into the bowl – ensuring the sieve handle is locked into position directly over the bowl handle.
Place the cone over the drive shaft turning until it drops all the way down.
Cut the fruit in half. Then switch on and press the fruit onto the cone.
The citrus juicer will not operate if the sieve is not locked correctly.

Hints and Tips

For best results store and juice the fruit at room temperature and hand roll on a worktop before juicing.
To help with juice extraction move the fruit from side to side when juicing.
When juicing large quantities, empty the sieve regularly to prevent the build up of pulp and seeds.

Mini Chopper/Mill (if supplied)

a Jar
b Sealing ring
c Blade assembly

Put the ingredients into the jar.
Fit the sealing ring into the blade assembly.
Turn the blade assembly upside down. Lower it into the jar, blades down.
Screw the blade assembly onto the jar until finger tight. Refer to the graphics on the underside of the blade assembly as follows:
– Unlocked position
– Locked position
Place the mill onto the power unit and turn clockwise to lock in position.
Select Maximum speed or use the pulse (P).

Hints and Tips

Baby food/purée – allow cooked food to cool down to room temperature before processing in the mill.
For best results the main bowl is recommended when chopping herbs.

Grinding Mill (if supplied)

a Mill lid
b Grinding mill blade assembly

Place your ingredients into the blade assembly.
Fit the lid and turn clockwise to lock.
Place the mill onto the power unit and turn clockwise to lock.
Select maximum speed or use the pulse (P).

Hints and Tips

For optimum performance when processing spices do not process more than 50g at a time.
Whole spices retain their flavor for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavor.
To release the maximum flavor and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
Do not process dried turmeric root in the mill as it is too hard and may damage the blades.
Cut ginger and coconut into small pieces before processing.
For best results the main bowl is recommended when chopping herbs.

Care and Cleaning

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

Power Unit

Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry. Ensure that the interlock area ⑧ is clear of food debris.
Do not immerse the power unit in water.
Store excess cord in the storage area at the back of the power unit ⑨ .
