NOTE: The maximum power rating is based on the
knife blade attachment.
Before plugging in
- Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one
shown on the underside of your machine.
- This appliance conforms to EC directive 2004/108/EC on
Electromagnetic Compatibility and EC regulation no.
1935/2004 of 27/10/2004 on materials intended for con-
tact with food.
Before using for the first time
1 Remove all packaging including the plastic blade covers
from the knife blade. Take care the blades are very sharp.
These covers should be discarded as they are to protect the
blade during manufacture and transit only.
2 Wash the parts see ‘cleaning’.
3 Push excess cord into the back of the machine.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian. Do not modify the plug in any way.
To use your food processor
1 Fit the detachable drive 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 center 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 fit-
ted incorrectly.
- Use the pulse for short bursts. The pulse will operate for as
long as the control is held in position.
6 Reverse the above procedure to remove the lid, attach-
ments and bowl.
-
Always switch off before removing the lid.
Important
- Your processor is not suitable for crushing or grinding coffee
beans, or converting granulated sugar to superfine sugar.
- When adding almond extract or flavoring to mixtures avoid
contact with the plastic as this may result in permanent
marking.
To use your blender
1 Screw the carafe into the blade unit.
2 Put your ingredients into the carafe.
3 Put the filler cap in the lid, then turn.
4 Turn the lid in a clockwise direction to lock onto the carafe.
5 Place the blender onto the power unit and turn to lock (4).
6 Select a speed or use the pulse control.
-
Allow all liquids to cool to room temperature before
placing them in the blender.
Hints
- When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except
the oil into the blender. Then with the machine running,
pour the oil into the filler cap and let it run through.
- Thick mixtures, e.g. 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 blender, 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 blender is fitted incorrectly.
- Don’t put dry ingredients into the blender 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 blender as a storage container. Keep it empty
before and after use.
- Never blend more than 1
1
⁄ 2 litres (2pts 12floz) - less for
frothy liquids like milkshakes.
USING THE ATTACHMENTS
(M) knife blade/(N) 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 sup-
plied.
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 while the machine is running.
- When making pastry use butter straight from the fridge cut
into 2cm/
3
⁄ 4 in cubes.
- Take care not to over-process.
