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
cleaning instructions on page 21

• 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.
