FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power cord or extension cord is used the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appliance is listed on the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord. This appliance has a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electrical shock this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Before plugging in

Make sure your electricity supply is the same as the one shown on the underside of your machine.

Before using for the first time

1 Remove all packaging including the plastic blade covers from the knife blade. Take care the blades are very sharp. These covers

should be discarded as they are to protect the blade during manufacturing and transit only. 2 Wash all parts see ‘cleaning’ 3 Push excess cord into the back of the machine. To purchase optional accessories please visit www.delonghi.com or call customer service listed on the warranty page.

- When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil into the blender. Then with the

machine running, remove filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler cap hole.

- Thick mixtures, e.g. pates and dips, may need scraping down. If it’s difficult to process, add more

liquid.

- When crushing ice use the pulse in short bursts.

Weighing function

- Your food processor is fitted with a built in weighing function to allow ingredients to be weighed

straight into the bowl or blender carafe.

- The Maximum weighing capacity is 3Kg./6.6 lbs. This is the total weight of all the ingredients plus the

weight of the bowl or blender carafe.

To use the weighing function

1 Always fit the drive shaft, bowl and attachment or blender carafe onto the power unit before adding

ingredients. 2 Plug in – the display screen will remain blank. 3 Press the ON/ZERO button once and the display screen will light up. 4 Press the (kg/lb) button to select either grams or ounces. The display will default to kg/g when first switched

on.

- The unit weighs in 2g increments and teaspoon/tablespoon measures are recommended for

weighing small quantities. 5 Check the display shows ‘0’, if not, zero by pressing the ON/ZERO button. Then weigh the required

ingredients straight into the bowl or carafe. After the weight is displayed, press the ON/ZERO

button and the display will return to ‘0’. Add the next ingredients and that weight will be

displayed. Repeat until all ingredients are weighed.

- If the display is not zeroed and either the ingredients or the bowl/attachment/lid are removed

the display will show [ - - - -] to represent a minus reading. To zero press the ON/ZERO button

once. 6 Add the lid and select a speed to operate the processor.

- During operation the display screen with freeze [- - - -] until the speed control returned to the off position.

Auto switch off

The display screen will turn off automatically if the same weight reading is shown after 5 minutes.

The display screen can be turned off manually by pressing and holding down the ON/ZERO button for a few seconds.

Important

Do not overload by exceeding the maximum weighing capacity of 3Kg./6.6 lbs

Do not subject the power unit to excessive force as this may damage the weighing sensor.

Always place the food processor on a dry flat surface prior to weighing.

Do not move the power unit during operation of the weighing function.

Using the attachments

knife blade/ dough tool

The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved. For coarser textures use the pulse control. Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread. It can also be used for yeasted dough mixes if the dough tool is not supplied. Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.

Hints knife blade/dough tool

Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/

⁄4

in before processing.

Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube while the machine is running.

When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/

⁄4

in cubes.

Take care not to over-process.

Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube while the machine is

running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 - 90 secs.

Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor

to become unstable.

twin beater geared whisk

Use for light mixtures only e.g. egg whites, cream, evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage the gears.

Using the whisk

1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2 Push each beater securely into the drive head B. 3 Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft until the bottom of the whisks are almost touching the bot-

tom of the bowl. 4 Add the ingredients. 5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the center of the lid. Turn lid clockwise to lock safety switch on lid into the

handle of the food processor (3). 6 Switch on.

Important

The whisk is not suitable for making boxed cake mix or creaming fat and sugar as these mixes will damage the gears. Always

use the knife blade for making cakes.

Hints

Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.

Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease before whisking.

Slicing/shredding discs

reversible slicing/shredding discs - thick

23, thin 24.

Use the shredding side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture. Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, zucchini, beet and onions. (Julienne) fine chipper disc

25 (optional).

Use to cut: potatoes for Julienne style French fries; firm ingredients for salads, garnishes, casseroles and stir fries (e.g. carrot, turnip, zucchini , cucumber). rasping disc

26 (optional).

Grates Parmesan cheese and potatoes for gnocchi or potato dumplings.

Safety

Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has completely stopped.

Handle the cutting discs with care - they are extremely sharp.

To use the cutting discs

1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit. 2 Holding by the center grip

D place the disc onto the drive shaft

with the appropriate cutting side facing upwards

3 Fit the lid ensuring the drive shaft is centered in the lid and the lid is locked into the handle. 4 Choose which size feed tube you want to use. The pusher contains a smaller feed tube for

processing individual items or thin ingredients and a larger feed tube for bigger or multiple

ingredients.

To use the small feed tube - first put the large pusher inside the feed tube.

To use the large feed tube - use both pushers together. 5 Put the food in the feed tube. 6 Switch on and push down evenly and slowly with the pusher - never put your fingers in the

feed tube.

Hints

Use fresh ingredients.

Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during

processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.

When using the fine chipper disc, place ingredients

horizontally
