Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Breville food processor, become familiar with all the parts. Remove all packaging materials and promotional labels, being careful when handling the processing blades and discs as they are very sharp. Wash the processing bowl, processing lid and other attachments in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. (Refer to cleaning, care and storage section).

1. Place the motor base on a dry, level work surface. Place the processing bowl on to the motor base with the handle in line with the ALIGN HANDLE graphic on the motor base.

3. If using a disc, ﬁrst assemble the disc spindle onto the bowl drive coupling. Orientate the disc so that the side you wish to use is facing upwards. Hold the disc by the center plastic moulding and position the central hole above the disc spindle. Push down ﬁrmly until ﬁtted correctly. (Please note that these discs only ﬁt the larger processing bowl).

4. If using the processing blades, carefully grasp either the S Blade™, dough blade or mini processing blade using the central plastic support and position it over the bowl drive coupling and push down until inserted correctly.

5. If using the mini processing blade, ensure the mini processing bowl is assembled into the large bowl ﬁrst.

2. Turn the processing bowl clockwise until the handle aligns with the TURN TO LOCK graphic. The processing bowl should be securely locked into position.

6. Place the processing lid onto the processing bowl so the feed chute is slightly right of the bowl handle and the arrow graphics are aligned and pressing down ﬁrmly at the same time, turn the lid clockwise (as indicated by the graphic) so the LOCKING TAB on the lid slots into the 'Interlocking Safety Catch' on the handle. The lid should be securely locked into position.

. Holding the feed chute

NOTE

The food processor will not operate unless both the processing bowl and lid are correctly locked into position.

CAUTION

The processing blades (including the mini bowl blade) and discs are extremely sharp, handle with care at all times.

7. Insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet.

8. Press the POWER/OFF button to turn your food processor on. The red light will illuminate around the POWER /OFF button to indicate that the processor is on.

9. Press the START/PAUSE button to switch the motor on and operate continuously.

NOTE

The food processor will not start unless the large food pusher is inserted correctly into place.

10. Press the POWER/OFF button to switch the motor off. When short bursts of power are required, press the PULSE button and hold down brieﬂy, release, then press again. The PULSE action will automatically stop when the button is released.

11. To set the timer, press the located to the left of the timing window. Time will move up by 5 second intervals, from 0 to 30 seconds. From 30 seconds to 2 minutes the time will increase in 10 second intervals and from 2 minutes to 9.59 minutes the time will increases in 20 second intervals.

buttons

NOTE

If a time is not set, the timer will automatically count up during processing.

12. Once the time is set, press the START/ PAUSE button and the timer will start to count down.

13. Ensure the large food pusher is inserted correctly into place. The food processor will not start until pusher is in place. Once the timer has ﬁnished, the food processor will stop and go into STANDBY mode. Three (3) beeps will sound to indicate that the processing is complete. The processor incorporates a 'Safety Interlock System' that ensures the unit will not start without the large food pusher in position. Processing will stop automatically, once the large food pusher has been removed from the lid. The CHUTE FILL MAX graphic indicates the maximum volume of food to be placed in the chute for the pusher to activate the unit.

14. At the end of processing, always wait until the blades or discs have stopped spinning before unlocking and removing the lid. To remove the processing lid, ensure the POWER/OFF button has been pressed, and the cord is unplugged from the power outlet. Holding the feed chute and pressing down ﬁrmly at the same time, turn the lid counter-clockwise so that the arrow graphics are no longer aligned.

NOTE

As a safety feature, the food processor will automatically switch off when the lid is unlocked; however, it is good practice to manually switch off the food processor using the POWER/OFF button before removing the lid.

15. Remove the processing bowl (before removing blade or discs) by turning it counter-clockwise until the handle is in line with the ALIGN Handle graphic. Lift the bowl off the motor shaft. When removing the discs - carefully remove by gripping the plastic hub on the center of the disc and lifting the disc up and away from the pin on the spindle.

NOTE

• Reassemble the food processor by locking

the processing bowl into position before attaching blade, disc or lid.

• Care should be taken when removing the

food from the processing bowl by ensuring the motor and processing blade or disc has completely stopped before disassembling. Ensure the POWER/OFF button is pressed to switch the motor off, and unplug the cord from the power outlet before removing the lid from the processing bowl. The processing bowl should then be unlocked from the motor body, then the processing blade or disc should be removed before attempting to remove the processed food.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM

• If the motor overloads, the food processor will

go to STANDBY mode and the OVERLOAD icon in the LCD will start to ﬂash. The food processor can still be switched off by pressing the POWER/OFF button. To operate the food processor again, allow the machine to cool for approximately 30 minutes.

• Some stiff mixtures, such as dough, may

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

• If the blades or discs should jam while

processing, ensure the POWER/OFF button is pressed to switch the motor off and then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Remove the processing lid and adjust any food wedged between the blade and the processing bowl or in the disc. Replace the lid and proceed as normal. If this occurs again, the processing bowl may be overloaded, so remove some of the food and process in smaller batches.

NOTE

The food processor is designed so the motor will not operate without the processing bowl and lid correctly locked into position and the pusher inserted into the feed chute. In the event that the food processor starts without the lid correctly locked into position, immediately disconnect at the power outlet and contact Breville Consumer Support.

Functions

The food processor can process food in a variety of ways depending on which blade or disc you choose.

CHOPPING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S BLADE™

The Micro-serrated universal S Blade™ chops raw and cooked food to the consistency required, from coarsely chopped to minced. For many large processing tasks, the microserrated S Blade™ will cut the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. The result depends on the type of food and how long the food is processed. Always remember to place the S Blade™ into the processing bowl before adding the food.

NOTE

To avoid over-processing, check the consistency frequently. For many processing tasks we recommend to use the PULSE button, as it may only take a few seconds to fully process the food to the desired consistency. If necessary, press the POWER/OFF button, unlock the lid and use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even processing.

Garlic, Chili and Ginger

For garlic, peel cloves and leave whole. For chili, leave whole (remove seeds for milder chili). For ginger, peel and cut into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process until chopped to desired consistency. Store chopped garlic or chili mixed with a little vegetable oil in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Mix ginger with a little Sherry. If adding garlic, chili or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down the small feed chute while the motor is running.

Herbs

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

Nuts

Process no more than 6 cups shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size.

Dried fruit

As dried fruit can be sticky, place in freezer for about 10 minutes (this prevents the fruit sticking to the blades). Process no more than 4 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Raw Vegetables, Fruit and Cooked Meats

Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process no more than 8 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 and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well until ﬁrm as this will help to cut through the food more readily. Process no more than 2¼ pounds (or 1kg) of raw meat for no more than 30 seconds at a time using the START/ PAUSE button until chopped or minced to desired size or consistency.

NOTE

If chopping fruit to add to cake batter, process the fruit before making the batter, adding a little ﬂour from recipe quantity to prevent fruit from sticking to the S Blade™ processing blade.

Citrus peel

Remove the peel from the fruit using a vegetable peeler and cut into 1 inch (2.5cm) pieces. Process no more than 6 cups at a time together with ½ cup granulated sugar and using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size.

NOTE

The white pith between the skin and citrus ﬂesh is bitter, so carefully remove the citrus peel ensuring the white pith remains on the fruit.

Cake crumbs

Cut cake into small pieces, measure quantity and place into processing bowl. Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency.

Hard boiled eggs

After cooking eggs to hard boiled stage, allow to cool then remove shells and cut eggs in half. Process no more than 12 eggs at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Soft breadcrumbs

Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will stick to blades). Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency

NOTE

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 6 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency.

Cookie crumbs

Break cookies into quarters, measure quantity and place into processing bowl. Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency.

NOTE

Sweet or savory cookies crumbs can be used as an alternative to pastry for sweet or savory pies.

PURÉERING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S BLADE™

The S Blade™ purées raw and cooked food to the consistency required, including baby food. For many large processing tasks, blades will cut the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. Always remember to place the S Blade™ into the bowl before adding the food.

NOTE

After puréeing the food, carefully remove the S Blade™ and use the spatula to scrape any food adhering to the blade and the processing bowl.

Cooked vegetables

Peel and cut vegetables into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Ensure vegetables are well cooked and softened before processing. Process no more than 10 cups at a time using the START/ PAUSE button until food is puréed to desired consistency.

NOTE

After processing vegetables, add stock through the small feed chute, if necessary, to make a smoother purée.

Creamed vegetable soups

Use same process as for cooked vegetables above then with motor running, gradually add no more than 4 cups stock and cream or milk through the small feed chute. Do not exceed LIQUID MAX level.

Cooked meat and patés

Trim and cut cooked meat into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. For chicken liver paté, leave livers whole. Process no more than 2¼ lbs (1kg) for no more than 30 seconds the START/PAUSE button until puréed to desired consistency. For paté, add cream through the small feed chute while motor is running.

NOTE

Add pan juices during processing if mixture becomes too stiff.

Peanut butter

Process shelled peanuts, no more than 6 cups at a time, using the START/PAUSE button until puréed to desired consistency. The mixture will form into a ball.

NOTE

2 cups peanuts will yield approximately 1 cup peanut butter. The natural oil in the butter will separate on standing. Stir before use.

Fresh fruit

Peel and cut fruit into 1 inch (2.5cm). Ensure any seeds or stones are removed. For hard or ﬁrm fruit such as apples and pears, cook until soft before processing. Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the START/PAUSE button until puréed to desired consistency.

Baby food

Trim and cut cooked food (meat and/or vegetables) into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process no more than 8 cups at a time using the START/PAUSE button until puréed to desired consistency.

NOTE

Add stock, milk or gravy during processing if mixture becomes too stiff. If required, freeze excess mixture in ice-cube trays, then repack in freezer bags ready for use.

MIXING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S BLADE™

The S Blade™ mixes ingredients for cakes, batters, and egg-based sauces such as mayonnaise. Always remember to place the S Blade™ into the processing bowl before adding the food.

Butter cake (Pound cake)

Place softened butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START/ PAUSE button until mixture is lightly creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time down the small feed chute, mixing well after each addition. Add liquid and dry ingredients to the mixture in the processing bowl and process using the PULSE button until folded through evenly. If necessary, interrupt the processing, remove the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Replace the lid and if adding dried fruit, nuts, etc., use the PULSE button until folded through evenly.

Quick-mix cakes and batters

Use this method for melt ‘n mix cakes, packet cakes and crêpe batters. Place all ingredients (starting with the liquid ingredients) into the processing bowl ensuring not to exceed MAX liquid level.

Process using the START/PAUSE button until mixed to a smooth consistency. If necessary, interrupt the processing, remove the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Replace the lid and continue, be sure not to over process the mixture.

Cookie dough

Insert the S Blade™ into the processing bowl. Place softened butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START/PAUSE button until lightly creamed. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time down the small feed chute, mixing well after each addition. Place dry ingredients into the processing bowl and use the PULSE button until ingredients are just combined.

Add dried fruit, nuts, etc. through the small feed chute and use the PULSE button until the additions are folded through evenly.

Melt ‘n mix cookies

Insert the S Blade™ into the processing bowl. Place melted ingredients, followed by liquid ingredients then dry ingredients into the processing bowl. Process ingredients using the PULSE button until just combined. If necessary, interrupt the processing, remove the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Replace the lid and continue but do not over-process the mixture. Add dried fruit, nuts etc. after this step using PULSE button until folded through evenly.

Sorbet

Using the S Blade™, place ripe fruit and sugar syrup into the processing bowl and process until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a plastic dish and freeze until just starting to set. Return frozen mixture to the processing bowl and using the S Blade™, process using the PULSE button until smooth. Return mixture to freezer as before and repeat this process 2-3 times to break down large ice crystals. Using the emulsifying disk, beat egg whites until foamy (see 'Egg Whites', pg 27).

Add frozen fruit purée to egg white foam and process using PULSE button until folded through evenly. Freeze until ready to serve.

Dips and spreads

Using S Blade™ place ingredients into the processing bowl and process using the START/PAUSE button until ingredients are mixed to desired consistency. If necessary, during processing remove the lid and scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

KNEADING WITH THE DOUGH BLADE

The edges of the plastic blade provide a softer action for combining dough ingredients.

Pastry dough

Insert the dough blade into the processing bowl. Place ﬂour and cubed, chilled butter into the processing bowl. Do not process a mixture with more than 6 cups/ 700g ﬂour. Process using the PULSE button until the butter is absorbed into ﬂour. While motor is running, quickly add liquid through the small feed chute, processing until mixture forms a ball of dough.

Bread dough

Insert the dough blade into the processing bowl. Use instant active dry yeast and include with the dry ingredients in the processing bowl. Do not process a mixture with more than 5 cups/700g ﬂour. Add softened, cubed butter and process using the START/PAUSE button until the butter is absorbed into the ﬂour.

If using oil, with the motor running, add the oil through the small feed chute and process until the mixture forms a soft, elastic ball of dough. Do not over process.

Transfer the dough to a lightly ﬂoured surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if necessary until soft and pliable. Place dough into large, greased mixing bowl and stand covered in a warm place until doubled in size. Turn the dough onto a lightly ﬂoured surface and knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough, allow to rise in a warm area then bake in a hot oven.

NOTE

The dough blade should be used for yeast doughs and doughs that require kneading.

SLICING, SHREDDING AND GRATING WITH THE DISCS

Slicing with the Adjustable Slicing Disc

The adjustable slicer disc slices raw fruit and vegetables to a consistent thickness, with 24 settings from ﬁne (0.33mm) to thick (8.0mm).

For many large processing tasks, the adjustable slicing disc will cut the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. The result depends on the type of food and how the food is positioned into the feed chute.

For smaller foods, the small feed chute provides greater control for adjustable slicing.

To adjust slicing height, hold the adjustable slicing disc outer edge with one hand, turn the adjustment dial on the underside of the disc to set the height. An arrow graphic indicates the height to which the blade is set. Place the adjustable slicer on the disc spindle in the processing bowl. Close the lid and insert the large pusher to operate.

NOTE

• Use Adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc

Spindle.

• There may be slight variation in slice

thickness depending on the food being processed and force applied with the feed chute pusher.

• Do not overﬁll the feed chute before slicing.

The pusher will not activate the unit if the chute is overﬁlled. A MAX level graphic indicates the maximum ﬁll level.

• Placing items to the far left in the large feed

chute provides stability and helps to make more accurate slices.

WARNING

Adjustable Slicing Disc blade is sharp, keep hands away from the blade.

Shredding and Grating with the Reversible Shredding Disc

Both thick and thin grating can be achieved by using the coarse/ﬁne shredding disc. Use one side of the disc for coarse shredding and the other side for ﬁne shredding. Carefully turn over the disc so that the process required is facing upwards.

Slicing and shredding

1. Place the desired cutting disc onto the disc spindle in the processing bowl.

2. Prepare food as directed in the following food categories or recipes.

3. Pack food into the feed chute as directed in the following food categories. For smaller size food leave the large pusher in place and use the small pusher instead. The food should ﬁt snugly so it is supported upright in the feed chute, but not so tight that it prevents the food from easily moving down the feed chute when guided by the food pusher.

4. Process using the START/PAUSE button while at same time, gently guiding the food down the feed chute using the food pusher. Never force the food down as this will damage the discs. Apply light pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes and bananas; medium pressure for ﬁrmer foods such as potatoes and apples; and ﬁrm pressure for hard foods such as Parmesan cheese and deli meats such as salami.

5. Repeat this process until all food has been sliced, shredded or grated.

NOTE

Use adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc Spindle.

Round Fruit and Vegetables

Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or peeling, and coring or seeding (if necessary). For small fruit and vegetables (e.g. kiwi fruit, Roma tomatoes), trim one end so the food sits ﬂat in the feed chute.
