How to use the food processor
The food processor can be used to blend, chop, grate, carve and mix food.
The motor of the food processor drives the cutting blades at high speed to ensure a good and
homogeneous result. Consequently, it is important always to place the appliance on an even
and dry surface before use.
Make sure that the bowl and lid are correctly positioned on the motor part. If not, the food
processor cannot start. To position the bowl correctly, mount the driving shaft on the motor
part. Put the bowl on the motor part and turn the handle of the bowl clockwise. You will hear
a click when the bowl has been properly engaged. Mount the wanted accessory (see section
“Mounting of accessories”
). Put the lid on the bowl. The plastic rod on the outer side of the
lid shall be to the right of the grip of the bowl. Turn the lid clockwise. The lid has been correctly
positioned when you hear a click. Please note that the appliance cannot be started until the
bowl and the lid have been correctly positioned.
Always be sure that there are ingredients in the bowl before starting the food processor.
The maximum capacity of the bowl is 2.0 L, but in order to be sure that the bowl is not
overfilled, the amount should be max 1.2 L. When preparing certain kinds of food, the
capacity will be less. As to details of maximum quantities, please see the table in section
”Quantities and guiding times of preparation”. Use the measurement scale on the bowl as an
indication.
When the bowl and the lid have been correctly positioned, the food processor is ready for
use. Check that the speed selector is at position ”0” and then plug the appliance in the mains
supply. Turn the speed selector to the wanted speed for a few seconds. Then turn it back to
“0” and see whether you get the result you want. The process is very fast, so do not work too
long at a time. Take off the lid by grabbing the hopper and turn counter-clockwise to remove
the lid.
Use the function “Pulse” (moment) for short intervals. Keep the contact in that position to
make the food processor work. As soon as the button is released, the food processor will
stop.
Mounting of accessories
All accessories shall be mounted on the driving shaft in the centre of the bowl. Mount the
driving shaft on the motor part. Be sure to position the bowl correctly.
Knife (steel) (11)
Remove the cover. Please note that the knife is extremely sharp, so please do not touch the
blades! Mount the knife in the bowl on the driving shaft by pressing the accessory holder
until it is locked onto the driving shaft and then remount the knife. Put on the lid as previously
described. Set the speed selector at ”2”. The total operation time should not exceed 1 minute.
After use, turn the speed selector back to ”0”. Remove the knife and the accessory holder
from the driving shaft by lifting the knife off the accessory holder and pull the accessory
holder. Then remove the bowl from the motor part by turning it counter-clockwise.
