OPERATION
Getting started
The food processor will only operate when
the processing bowl, lid and large pusher are
correctly assembled. This engages the safety
interlock, and allows the motor to run.
The chute has a CHUTE FILL MAX graphic
to indicate the maximum volume of food that
can be placed in the chute for the pusher to
activate the safety locking catch.
Control buttons
The momentary PULSE button is ideal for
processing foods that need sudden bursts
of power. It also encourages ingredients
to move around the bowl. PULSE is also
best when processing foods that only
require processing for a short period of time.
After Processing
After processing, wait until the blades/discs
have stopped moving before unlocking the
lid. To ensure safe handling, turn off at the
POWER button and unplug at the power
outlet before handling the blades.
When removing blades/discs, lift the part
by carefully gripping the plastic hub in
the centre.
DICING WITH THE DICING KIT
The dicing kit dices raw and cooked food
into cubes of the size of 12 x 12mm.
Always remember to place the geared
spindle, dicing grid and dicing disc into
the food processor before adding the food.
Do not dice more than 10 cups (2.4l) in your
food processor at a time. Exceeding this
capacity could lead to the product jamming
in the disc. It will also make the cleaning
process of the dicing grid challenging.
Clean dicing grid each time after dicing
10 cups.
Vegetables and fruits
The dicing kit can process raw and cooked
vegetables and also fruits. To improve dicing
results for harder vegetables like carrots and
pumpkin, par-cooking is recommended. Only
par-cook vegetables that need to be cooked
afterwards.
For best results when dicing with raw, hard
vegetables feed carrots length-ways through
the small feed chute, and feed pumpkin through
the medium feed chute. Feeding this produce
through the large feed chute may lead to
jamming of the disc.
DO NOT DICE SWEET POTATO
(Yam/Kumara).
Due to its dry, fi brous texture dicing sweet
potato is not recommended with the
Dicing Kit. Sweet Potato places high load
on the Dicing Kit which causes high friction
and potential damage to the Bowl Lid.
Use the START / PAUSE button for control
when dicing food.
PEELING WITH THE PEELER
Potato peeling made easy
Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes.
The Sage peeler will peel potatoes in batches
of 6–7, depending on the size. Peeling is very
fast, and may fi nish quicker than expected.
Keep your eye on progress, and it should be
done in 25–30 seconds.
Size matters
The best size potatoes to use are around
70mm x 70mm, 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 effi ciently. Using rounder
potatoes will reduce the amount of waste.
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 eff ective.
Keep in mind that the peeling works best with
a complete batch, and peeling just a couple
of potatoes won’t be as effi cient. Lock lid
in place before starting, and never insert
potatoes through the chute.
