safety interlock system
If you tried to operate your food processor without say, the lid fitted, nothing would happen! This
is because, for your safety, your food processor has a safety interlock system making it impossible
for it to operate unless everything is correctly fitted together.
Detailed instructions on how to use your food processor and its attachments are given throughout
this booklet but briefly:
food processor
The processor bowl must first be fitted to the food processor body and locked in place.
After you have inserted the desired attachment, (chopping blade, whisk, etc.), the processor
bowl lid must be fitted onto the bowl and correctly locked in place.
When you are using the food processor, the safety cap must be fitted over the blender jug
drive take-off point. Remember, you can’t use the blender jug and food processor at the same
time.
blending
The processor bowl and processor bowl lid must be fitted to the processor body and locked
in place. It’s best not to have any attachment (chopping blade, whisk, etc.) fitted to the
processor drive shaft.
Remove the safety cap covering the blender drive shaft then fit and lock the blending jug.
The blender will not work unless the blending jug lid is correctly fitted and locked in place.
