SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Never operate the processor with the bowls empty.

• Do not misuse the processor; it is designed for use
with food items only

• Before each use, check that the bowls contain only
the ingredients and nothing else

• Do not process boiling or hot liquids

• Bowls and attachments are not suitable for
microwave use

• Ensure the bowl(s), accessory(s), lid and food
pusher are all securely in place before turning the
processor on. It will not work without the large bowl
and lid in place and locked

• Only use the food pusher supplied to insert and push
ingredients down the feeder tube. Never use your
fingers or utensils; this could cause severe injury and
also damage the appliance

• Do not overfill the bowls; ingredients need room to
move around. Use the maximum loading chart on
page 11 for reference

• Always turn the power off via the control knob
before opening the lid

• Do not submerge the motor housing, cord or plug in
water or any other liquids

• Clean all parts after each use; please refer to the

• If your ingredients include raw meat, make sure the
bowls and attachments are cleaned thoroughly,
immediately after use

• When using a dishwasher, always set it to the lowest
setting (max 40ºC) and keep bowls and accessories
well away from the heating elements. Avoid the
drying cycle.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Switch off the appliance before changing accessories
or approaching moving parts while in use

• Never remove the bowl or lid until the blades or
discs have come to a complete stop

• Never touch moving parts or insert your hand or
utensils into the bowl. Use the food pusher provided
to guide ingredients through the feed tube

• The processor features an overheat cut-out that cuts
the power if it becomes too hot for any reason. If
this occurs turn the control knob to the off
position. Once it cools down, the safety cut-out will
automatically reset itself within 1 hour and the
power will be restored

In the interest of improving products, Dualit Ltd. reserves the
right to change the product specification without prior notice.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR

Your food processor is designed to create great results
and to make life easy for you, but it is important that
you get to know what it can do and why it is designed
in this way.

MAIN BODY AND CONTROL KNOB

Deliberately weighty, the commercial grade induction
motor adjusts power to keep the speed constant, at the
setting you have selected.

Non-slip sucker feet keep the processor firmly in place.

The control knob has three settings: Off
continuously On

The fixing on top of the main body is the bowl drive.
The large bowl locates on the bowl drive and locks in
place. The medium and small bowls then fit inside the
large bowl.

The lid locates on the large bowl, rotates through 30°
and locks in place (the processor won’t start unless the
lid is locked on).

A large feeder tube makes it easy to add ingredients
whilst the motor is running. Use the food pusher when
doing this; it also doubles as a liquid measure with lid.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR

LID AND FOOD PUSHER

A key feature of the Dualit processor, the three
different-sized bowls give you maximum flexibility and
convenience. Using an appropriate sized bowl for the
quantity of ingredients gives a better result, whether
blending or chopping.

It also means that if you need different sized bowls, you
won’t always have to wash the bowl between tasks.

Large bowl

Use this bowl for all liquids (it has
a sealed drive). It offers the
maximum working capacity, and
needs to be in place before you
can use either of the other two
bowls.

Air vol: 3.25L.

Medium bowl

Use this as a secondary bowl, to
keep the large bowl clean and
ready for your next job. This is also
the best bowl when using slightly
smaller quantities.
(see chart on page 11)

Air vol: 2.6L.

8

Small bowl

Perfect for everyday processing
tasks like chopping herbs or
puréeing baby food. The small
bowl must sit inside the medium
bowl.

Air vol: 1.0L.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR

ACCESSORIES

Your Dualit food processor comes with a range of
attachments, each perfect for a particular task. They fit
neatly inside the toolbox, for safe and convenient
storage. Inside the box you will find:

Drive shaft

You will need to use this on the
bowl drive to attach some of the
accessories.

Grating & shaving disc

The grating and shaving disc is
perfect for grating hard cheeses and
ingredients like ginger.

Adjustable slicing disc

Small, medium and large
chopping blades

There are three different sized
chopping blades, one for each bowl.

Shredding disc

The shredding disc makes perfect
shredded cabbage or grated cheese

E-disc

Dough blade

The bakery grade dough blade is the
perfect workhorse for making bread
dough and pastries.

Chipping disc

The chipping disc is ideal for making
homemade chips or quick preparation
for stir-fry.

Spatula

The adjustable slicing disc is useful
when you need to vary the size of
your slices (from 0.5mm to 7.5mm).

The e-disc is a great alternative to the
more traditional wire balloon whisk,
for emulsifying liquids (e.g. salad
dressings) or whisking egg whites.

9

Made from durable silicon, the
spatula is flexible enough to scrape
your bowls clean.

UNDERSTANDING WHICH BOWLS AND ACCESSORIES YOU NEED

USING THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES FOR THE TASK

Your Dualit bowls and accessories will not work in every
permutation:

• You must always start your assembly with the large
bowl – neither the medium or small bowls will fit
directly onto the main body

• The small bowl must be used in conjunction with the
large and medium bowls.

• Each bowl has its own sized chopping blade; you
must choose the right one for the bowl you are
using

• The e-disc and dough blade will only work inside the
large bowl

• The adjustable slicing disc will work with the large
and or medium bowl

• The chipping disc will work with the large or
medium bowl

• All other discs will work with all three bowls

• You will need to attach the drive shaft to the bowl
drive in order to use certain accessories (for more
details, see the assembly instructions on page 14).

UNDERSTANDING WHICH BOWLS AND ACCESSORIES YOU NEED

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BOWL FOR THE TASK

Your food processor will produce the best results if you
use the bowl size that best matches the quantity and
type of food you are processing.

The large bowl has a sealed drive; use this bowl for all
liquid mixtures. Small quantities of ingredients like herbs
or garlic are best chopped in the small bowl.

The table guides you on the maximum quantities of
different types of food for the large bowl.

Never exceed the maximum shown and make sure that
your ingredients have room to move around.

UNDERSTANDING WHICH BOWLS AND ACCESSORIES YOU NEED

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BOWL FOR THE TASK

Using the quantities given on page 11 as a guide, you
now need to decide what you want to do, and what
bowls and accessories you will need.

The table below should get you started.

Task

Small quantity of baby food

Small quantity of liquids

Chopping herbs

Slicing apple

Bread dough

Beating egg whites

Home-made chips

It is important to remember to use the right accessories
with the right bowl. Some accessories will only work
with one bowl. It is also important to assemble the
processor correctly.

• Handwash all bowls and accessories before use
(See diagram on page 21)

PREPARATION

+ lid.

• Position the processor close to a power socket with
enough space around it for ingredients, bowls and
accessories. It must be at least 15cm from the edge
of the table or counter, with the control knob facing
you. Press down on the main body so that the
sucker feet hold it securely in position.

12

ASSEMBLING AND USING YOUR PROCESSOR

ASSEMBLING BOWLS

• You will always need to put the large bowl in place
first, no matter what you intend to do. Hold the
large bowl with the handle pointing to the right
(3 o’clock), position it onto the bowl drive and
turn it clockwise by 90° (6 o’clock) until you hear
and feel it lock in place

• If you want to use the medium bowl, insert this into
the large bowl; it will self-locate

• If using the small bowl, you will also need to use the
medium bowl & drive shaft. These must be put onto
the bowl drive before the small bowl is inserted

• The small bowl fits into the medium bowl. When
inserting it into the bowl you will need to rotate the
small bowl until the tabs on the medium bowl locate
in the slots on the small bowl (See diagram on
page 14)

• Always try and start with the tasks that require the
smallest bowl first, so that you are removing the
used bowls instead of putting clean bowls inside
dirty ones

REMOVING BOWLS

THE LARGE BOWL CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE
MAIN BODY WITH OR WITHOUT THE LID LOCKED
IN PLACE.

• Rotate the control switch to the ‘Off’ position

• Unlock the lid prior to removing the large bowl

• Hold the large bowl with the handle pointing to the
right (6 o’clock), turn it anti-clockwise by 90°
(3 o’clock) until you hear and feel it unlock.

DRIVE SHAFT

The drive shaft locates on the bowl drive on the main
body. With some permutations you will need the drive
shaft; with others you won’t.

If you need to use the drive shaft, locate it on the bowl
drive first, then attach the accessory (e-disc excluded –

CHOPPING BLADES

There is a different sized chopping blade for each bowl;
make sure you choose the right one.

• The large chopping blade locates directly onto the
bowl drive, once the large bowl is locked in place

• The medium chopping blade also locates directly
onto the bowl drive, once both large and medium
bowls are in place

• The small chopping blade needs to be used with the
drive shaft. This must be attached to the bowl drive
once the large and medium bowls are in place, but
before the small bowl is inserted

• Always hold chopping blades by the plastic centre
section, being careful not to touch the sharp edges

• Don’t add your ingredients until your chopping
blade is in place

• Cut large ingredients into uniform pieces no larger
than 2.5cm

• Ensure meat is very cold but not frozen and use
short pulses for greater control whilst chopping.

ASSEMBLING AND USING YOUR PROCESSOR

USING YOUR CUTTING DISCS

ONLY USE THE FOOD PUSHER TO PUSH
INGREDIENTS DOWN THE FEEDER TUBE.
NEVER USE YOUR HANDS.

• When using these discs, the orientation of the
ingredients in the feeder tube will determine the way
they cut. Stacking items vertically will produce
discs and horizontal stacking will produce the
longest strips or slices

• If you position the disc so that the cutting edge is
away from the feeder tube, then the disc will start
cutting as soon as you turn the processor on

• Apply a gentle downward pressure on the pusher to
guide food onto the cutting disc. Too much pressure
will lead to uneven cutting.

• The cut ingredients may build up on one side of the
bowl, in which case stop the processor and use the
spatula to distribute them evenly

• Occasionally small pieces of your ingredients may be
left on the disc, uncut. These can be hand chopped
and added to your mixture

• You cannot grate soft ingredients. Chill chocolates
and cheeses before using in the processor.

ASSEMBLING AND USING YOUR PROCESSOR

GRATING & SHAVING, SHREDDING AND CHIPPING DISCS

ONLY HANDLE DISCS BY THE PLASTIC
CENTRE SECTION.

The shaving and shredding discs can be used with all
bowls. The chipping disc can be used with the large and
medium bowls only. They always need to be attached to
the bowl drive via the drive shaft. Add your Ingredients
via the feeder tube after the lid is locked in position.

• Discs must be inserted with the cutting face
upwards (the chip is a single sided disc check it is
the correct way up). Attach the disc directly onto the
drive shaft, gently push down and twist until
securely in position

• Align and lock the lid into position

• Pack the ingredients into the feeder tube

• When using the processor with these discs, push the
ingredients down the feeder tube using the food
pusher.

ADJUSTABLE SLICING DISC

HANDLE WITH CARE WHEN ADJUSTING,
THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP

The adjustable slicing disc can only be used with the
large and medium bowls. It creates any slice thickness
between 0.5mm and 7.5mm. It must be attached to the
drive shaft.

• To adjust the slicing thickness, rotate the outer
spindle on the underside of the disc anti-clockwise to
make the slices thicker, or clockwise to make them
thinner

• The adjustable slicing disc is then attached to the
drive shaft with the cutting edge uppermost

• The lid is locked on, the ingredients gently packed
into the feeder tube and the food pusher used to
push the ingredients through the cutter.

17

ASSEMBLING AND USING YOUR PROCESSOR

The e-disc can only be used with the large bowl, and
only with liquids (including egg whites).

For best results use a minimum of two/three egg whites.
To emulsify liquids successfully, add additional liquids
slowly through the feeder tube.

• Attach the drive shaft onto the centre of the e-disc
with a push and twist action making sure it’s securely
in place

• Place the e-disc assembly directly onto the bowl
drive

• Put liquid ingredients into the bowl

• Close and lock the lid

• Additional ingredients can be added through the
feeder tube with the processor running.

E-DISC

SPATULA

Use the spatula to redistribute ingredients that have built
up around the sides of the bowls, or to help decant
ingredients from bowls to other containers.

CONTROLS

The control knob has three settings: ‘Off’, continuous
‘On’ or intermittent ‘Pulse’.

• ‘Off’: the processor is ‘off’ when the control knob is
in the vertical position

• Continuous ‘On’: rotate the knob clockwise to
the ‘ I ’ symbol’. It will remain on until manually
turned back to the ‘Off’ position

• Intermittent ‘Pulse’: uses short pulses for more
control while processing. Rotate the knob
anti-clockwise to ‘Pulse’. When released it will
automatically return to the ‘Off’ position. Allow a
couple of seconds for the ingredients to drop before
pulsing again.

‘OFF’

‘ON’

The processor features an overheat cut-out that
Interrupts the power if the motor becomes too hot for
any reason. If this occurs turn the control knob to the off
position and unplug the power cord. Once it cools
down, the safety cut-out will automatically reset itself
within 1 hour and the power will be restored.

• Decant your mixture.

BLADE MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN HANDLING THE
BLADES.

Over time the chopping blades will become less sharp,
you can use a knife sharpener to give them a new lease

of life. But this does depend on the design of sharpener.

CLEANING

It is important to clean the processor and all parts after
each use. This will prolong the life of your appliance.

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AND UNPLUG BEFORE ANY
CLEANING. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON ANY
OF THE PARTS. TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WASHING
BLADES, THEY ARE VERY SHARP. NEVER IMMERSE THE
MAIN BODY IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.

• Dismantle the attachments & bowls from the main
unit before you start cleaning

• Unplug and wipe the main body with a damp cloth.
Dry immediately

• Wash the bowl, lid, blades and discs immediately
after each use with warm soapy water. Use a small
brush to get to hard to reach areas

• Thoroughly rinse all parts and dry

• Some foods such as coffee beans or whole spices
may discolour the bowls. This is normal and will not
harm the plastic or affect the flavour of your food.
However, if you use these ingredients frequently, you
may wish to purchase additional bowls. Contact the
Dualit Customer Care line on [phone]
for more details.

USING A DISHWASHER

All attachments and bowls excluding the main body are
suitable for dishwasher use.
