Do not run appliance continuously for more than 1 minute. After using continuously for 1 minute allow food processor to rest for another 3

minutes before using it again. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism. This appliance will be

damaged and may cause injury if the interlock mechanism is subjected to excessive force.

Failure to correctly fit the lid will prevent your chopper from operating.

Safety Lock System This appliance is equipped with a safety lock system which will prevent the motor starting without proper installation of the bowl and its lid. To activate the system, you have to carry out the following:

Using the Attachments

Knife Blade This blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The texture you get is determined by the length of processing time. For coarser textures use the PULSE feature checking the consistency regularly. To assemble, please see the Assembling the Food Processor section.

Raw Meat Make minced meat by trimming raw meat of any excess fat and cutting into 2cm (3/4 inch) cubes, place into the bowl and operate for approximately 10 seconds or until the desired texture is achieved. The longer you run the appliance, the smoother the texture will be.

Cooked Meat Follow the method for raw meat but process for a shorter time.

Vegetables Cut the vegetables into pieces approximately 2.5cm (1inch) in size. Process foods having a similar texture together e.g. harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes or softer ones like mushrooms, tomatoes or cooked vegetables.

Using the Food Processor

Method 1 Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON button and process until the desired consistency is achieved. Press the OFF/PULSE button to turn the processor off.

Method 2 Press the OFF/PULSE button to operate in a start/stop action. This pulse feature operates the motor and keeps it running for as long as it is held in position. This will allow you to control the texture of various food - e.g. when processing meat.

Only remove the lid when the ON/OFF/PULSE button is not held in position and when the blades have completely stopped spinning.

Your processor is not suitable for crushing or grinding coffee beans, spices or converting granulated sugar to caster sugar. When adding almond essence or flavouring to mixtures avoid contact with the plastic as this may result in permanent marking.

Do not run appliance continuously for more then 1 minute. After using continuously for 1 minute allow food processor to rest for another 3 minutes before using again.

Biscuit and Breadcrumbs Drop pieces down the feed tube whilst the appliance is operating.

Shortcrust Pastry and Scones Put the flour into the bowl. Use fat straight from the refrigerator and cut into 2cm (34inch) cubes. Process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs but take care not to overprocess. Leave the appliance running and add the liquid down the feed tube. Process until one or two balls of pastry are formed. Chill before use.

Soups Pure soups either before or after cooking. Drain the ingredients and place into the bowl with a small quantity of liquid from the recipe. Process until the desired consistency has been reached, then add to the remainder of the liquid.

Nuts Chop nuts for cakes and biscuits by placing into the bowl and processing until the desired consistency is obtained.

Cake Making Sponge type cakes are best made by the all in one method. All the ingredients are placed into the bowl and processed until smooth - approximately 10 seconds. A soft tub margarine used straight from the refrigerator and cut into 2cm (34inch) cubes should always be used.

Savoury Dips / Spreads Place the solid ingredients into the bowl in 2.5cm/1inch cubes. Process until finely chopped. Add the cream etc., And continue to process until the ingredients are well blended.

Batters With the knife blade in position place the dry ingredients, egg and a little liquid in the bowl, process until smooth. Add the remaining liquid down the feed tube while the appliance is operating.

Mayonnaise Place the egg and seasonings into the bowl and mix for a few seconds. With the appliance running gradually add the oil down the feed tube in a slow steady stream.

Yeast Dough Place the flour, fat and other dry ingredients into the bowl and process for a few seconds to mix. With the appliance running add the liquid mixture down the feed tube and continue processing until the mixture forms a dough and becomes smooth in appearance and elastic to touch - this will take 45-60 seconds. Allow the dough to rise then re-knead for 10 seconds.

Use fresh ingredients. Do not cut food up too small. Fill the feed tube fairly full, this prevents food from

slipping sideways during processing. When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed

horizontally. After using a cutting plate there will always be a small amount of food waste left on

the plate. Do not allow food to build up on the underside of the plate - empty regularly. Push the food down the feed tube using an even pressure.

For optimum performance, it is recommended to use a maximum capacity of 300g of solid food, empty the container regularly.

Slicing and Shredding Plates Slicing Plate (assembly refer P.6 - P.8)

Slices carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, courgettes, beetroots, onions.

1. If necessary cut the food to fit into the feed tube. Always core foods such as apples and peppers.

2. Pack the food in an upright position in the feed tube.

3. The height should be slightly shorter than the feed tube.

4. Using the pusher, push down with an even pressure whilst the appliance is running.

Shredding Plate Grates cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.

1. Cut the food to fit into feed tube.

2. Fill the tube almost to the top and push down using the pusher with an even pressure while the appliance is running.

3. Longer shreds can be obtained by stacking pieces horizontally in the feed tube e.g. carrots.

Cleaning Always switch off and unplug the unit before cleaning.

Never let the motor unit, mains cable or plug get wet.

Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth, then dry. Do not immerse the motor unit in water.

Immediately after use, always clean the parts that have come into contact with food, using hot water and washing-up liquid.

The slicing/shredding plate and knife blade can be cleaned in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.

Make sure that the cutting edges of the blades and the plate do not come into contact with hard objects. This could cause them to become blunt.

Certain ingredients may cause discolourations of accessories. This is perfectly normal. It will not harm the plastic or affect the colour of your food. The discolourations usually disappear after some time.

Handle blades and cutting plates with care especially during cleaning as they are extremely sharp.

Wash all attachments by hand, then dry thoroughly.

Alternatively, they can be washed on the top rack of your diswasher. A short low temperature programme is recommended.

Hints and Tips What is a pulse function? The pulse button is used when you need short bursts of power at the optimum speed. This

is controlled by the user which means you control how long the appliance is run for. It is a useful way of avoiding over-processing. For example, it can be used to fold fruit into a cake mixture at the end of processing.

What is the difference between a food processor and a breadmaker? A breadmaker is primarily for mixing dough and cake mixtures. A food processor can do

these jobs but not with the efficiency of a breadmaker. If you are planning on making cakes you should consider how often you will be doing this job. If it is going to be a common occurrence then a breadmaker would be a better choice.

Why wont my processor switch on? Try checking that the interlock system is correctly in place. All processors need to have the

bowl and the lid on properly in order to start processing, this is a safety feature so that the blades cannot be spinning while exposed. When interlocked properly the markings on the bowl, lid and motor unit are aligned properly.

Can I process hot ingredients? Liquids should be allowed to cool to room temperature before processing.

Are the attachments dish washable? All attachments can be washed on the top rack of your dishwasher. The motor unit must

never be washed in a dishwasher. A short low temperature programme is recommended.
