Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Before using your food processor for the ﬁrst

time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the POWER button is OFF and the food processor is unplugged.

• Be careful when handling the blades and discs

as they are extremely sharp.

• Wash the processing bowl, processing lid

and all attachments in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The attachments may be washed in the dishwasher.

• When ﬁrst using your food processor, you may

notice an odor coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

• Always use the food processor on a dry, level

work surface.

ASSEMBLY

1. Position the processing bowl onto the motor base with the handle in line with the ALIGN HANDLE graphic on the motor base.

2. Turn the bowl clockwise until the handle locks to the front. The processing bowl should now be securely locked into position. The food processor will not operate unless the bowl is locked into position correctly.

3. The spindle is required when using ALL discs and blades in the large processing bowl (spindle not required for mini-bowl). Failing to use the spindle will damage the parts, and incorrect use this way may cause the parts to fuse together.

4. Before placing the lid onto the processing bowl, position the spindle over the coupling in the center of the processing bowl. Then position your chosen blade or disc over it. The blades drop down lower than the discs.

5. Place lid onto the processing bowl so that the ALIGN | LOCK graphics on the lid and handle align. To LOCK the lid, hold the chute and turn clockwise so that the handle parts align. Locking the lid correctly will engage the interlocking safety catch on the handle, and allow the motor to run.

MINI PROCESSING BOWL

• The mini processing bowl ﬁts inside the

main bowl.

• The mini processing blades give you

maximum control for small quantities.

• Do not use the spindle, or the processing discs.

• The mini blades cannot be used in the main

processing bowl.

Functions

OPERATION

• 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 POWER button illuminates red when the

machine is connected to power and is ready to run.

• The START button allows the motor to run

continuously until pressed again. If the lid, bowl or large pusher are removed while the motor is running, the button will ﬂash. The motor will resume running when the bowl, lid and large pusher are assembled and the safety interlock is engaged, the button light will be solid (no longer ﬂashing).

• 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.

• Use a combination of the START and PULSE

buttons for control when processing food.

• The chute has a MAX CHUTE FILL graphic to

indicate the maximum volume of food that can be placed in the chute for the pusher to activate the safety locking catch.

• 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 carefully by

gripping the plastic hub in the center.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM

• The food processor has an overload protection

system to prevent damage to the motor. If activated, the food processor will go into STANDBY mode, and the buttons will ﬂash.

• Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes.

Once cooled, you will be able to use the food processor as usual again.

• Note that some stiff mixtures (such as bread

dough) may cause the blade to rotate more slowly than normal. If this happens, do not process for more than 1 minute.

• If the blades or discs jam with food while

processing, immediately and unplug from the power outlet before clearing the wedged food. If this happens more than once, the bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in smaller batches.

CHOPPING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S-BLADE™

The S-blade chops raw and cooked food to the consistency required, from coarsely chopped to minced. The blades process very efﬁciently, and may take less time than expected to process many large tasks.

Always remember to place the spindle and S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

Avoid over-processing by checking the consistency frequently. For many tasks, we recommend using the PULSE button, as it may only take a few seconds to fully process food to your desired consistency.

If necessary, turn the POWER off and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to encourage even processing.

Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats

Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Raw meat, chicken and ﬁsh

Trim excess fat and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well in freezer until ﬁrm as this will help to cut through the food more readily. Process no more than 2¼ pounds (or 1kg) of raw meat at a time. At this capacity the motor should run for no more than 30 seconds at a time. Use a combination of the START and the PULSE button until chopped or minced to the desired consistency.

Garlic, chilli and ginger

Peel garlic cloves and process them whole. Leave chillies whole, or remove seeds for milder chilli. Peel and cut ginger into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes.

For other solid herbs like lemongrass or galangal, peel and cut into cubes or pieces between ½ and 1 inch in size.

Size should be made smaller for harder or more dense herbs.

Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.

Store chopped herbs with a little vegetable oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

If adding garlic, chilli or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down the small feed chute while the motor is running.

Leafy herbs

Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove any coarse stems. Process no more than 2 bunches of herbs (approx. 4 cups) at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.

Use leafy herbs immediately for the most aromatic results in your recipe.

Nuts

Process no more than 4½ cups of shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.

Dried fruit

Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick to the blades during processing. We recommend putting dried fruit in the freezer for about 10 minutes before processing. Process no more than 2 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.

If chopping fruit to add to cake mixture, process the fruit before making the cake mix. Add a little ﬂour (from the quantity of ﬂour in the recipe) to prevent fruit from sticking to the S-blade.

We do not recommend to process large dried fruits such as dates and ﬁgs.

Soft breadcrumbs

Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will stick to blades). Process no more than 4–6 slices at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency. For best results when making bread crumbs, add one slice at a time.

Dried breadcrumbs

Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until golden and crisp. Do not over brown. Process no more than 4–6 slices at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals

Cookie crumbs

Break cookies into quarters, and weigh a maximum of 8oz (250g). Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. Sweet or savoury cookie crumbs can be used as an alternative to pastry for sweet or savory pies.

Do not process very hard cookies as this may damage the blades.

PURÉEING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S-BLADE™

The S-blade purées raw and cooked food to the consistency required, including baby food. The blades process very efﬁciently, and cut the time needed to purée many tasks.

Always remember to place the S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

Carefully remove the S-blade after puréeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.

Baby food

Trim and cut vegetables and meat into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Cook vegetables and meat before processing. Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the START button in intervals until the food is puréed to a smooth and even consistency. Stock, milk or gravy can be added through the small feed chute if the mixture becomes too thick.

Excess baby food can be frozen in ice-cube trays, and packed in single serve freezer bags ready for use.

Peanut butter

Process no more than 4½ cups of shelled nuts at a time using the START button until chopped to the desired consistency.

The volume of nuts reduces after processing, for example 2 cups of nuts will make around 1 cup of nut butter.

Natural nut butter (without using stabilizers) will separate on standing, and needs to be stirred before use.

MIXING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S-BLADE™

The S-blade mixes ingredients for cakes, batters, and cookie doughs.

The S-blade can also emulsify egg-based sauces such as mayonnaise.

Always remember to place the spindle and S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

Butter cake and cookie dough

Place softened, chopped butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START button until the mixture is lightly creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time through the small feed chute, mixing well after each egg is added. Take lid off and add liquid and dry ingredients to the mixture. Process using the PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not over-process.

Add choc chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc after the main mixture is done. Use the PULSE button in very short bursts until the additions are combined. Do not over-process, as these larger ingredients will break down quickly.

Quick-mix cakes and batters

Place all ingredients in the bowl, starting with liquids, and being careful not to exceed the MAX LIQUID level. Process using the PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not over-process.

This method can also be used for melt ’n’ mix cakes, packet cake mixes and crêpe batters.

Pastry dough

Place ﬂour and chilled, cubed butter into the processing bowl.

Do not process more than 2 cups (300g) of ﬂour using the START button in intervals until the butter is absorbed into the ﬂour.

Steadily add liquid through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture forms a ball.

KNEADING WITH THE DOUGH BLADE

Always remember to place the spindle and dough blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

The edges of the plastic dough blade create a softer action for combining dough ingredients. The dough blade encourages the gluten strands to be stretched rather than cut, and should be used for all yeast doughs, and any other doughs that require kneading.

Bread or pizza dough

Place ﬂour and dry ingredients into the processing bowl, including instant active dry yeast.

Do not process more than 5 cups (700g) of ﬂour or using the START button in intervals.

Steadily add liquid (including oil, if applicable) through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture until it forms a soft, elastic dough ball.

Transfer dough ball to a lightly ﬂoured surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if necessary until soft and pliable.

If processing more than two recipes of dough ingredients (700g ﬂour), allow the motor base to cool for an extended period before subsequent kneading to prevent the motor from overloading.

Place dough into a large, greased mixing bowl and cover. Stand in a warm place until it has doubled in size. Turn the dough out onto a lightly ﬂoured surface and knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough then allow to rise in a warm area before baking in a hot oven.
