• Carefully read all instructions
before operating the Kambrook
Food Processor for the first time
and save for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard
any packaging material and
promotional labels before using the
Food Processor for the first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for
young children, remove and safely
discard the protective cover fitted
to the power plug of this appliance.
• Do not place the Food Processor
near the edge of a bench or table
during operation. Ensure the surface
is level, clean and free of water and
other substances.
• Do not use the Food Processor
on a sink drain board.
• Do not place the Food Processor
on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or where it could touch
a heated oven.
• Handle the Food Processor and
attachments with care – remember
the blades and discs are razorsharp and should be kept out of
the reach of children.
4
• Use the blade protector when
storing the processing blade.
• Always ensure the Food Processor
is completely assembled before
operating. The appliance will not
operate unless properly assembled.
• Ensure the control switch button is
in the ‘OFF’ position and the Food
Processor is switched off at the
power outlet and the power cord
is unplugged before attaching the
processing blade, reversible disc
or processor lid.
• Always secure the processor
bowl onto the motor base before
attaching the processing blade
or reversible disc.
• Ensure the processor lid is securely
locked in place before operating.
• Do not remove the processor
bowl from the motor base
whilst in operation.
• Do not push food into the feed
chute with your fingers or other
utensils. Always use the food
pusher provided.
• Keep fingers, hands, knives
and other utensils away from
moving blades and discs.
• Do not place hands or fingers into the
processor bowl of the Food Processor
unless the motor, processing blade
and reversible disc have come to
a complete stop. Ensure the control
switch button is in the ‘OFF’ position
and the appliance is switched off at
the power outlet and the power cord
is unplugged before removing the lid
from the Food Processor bowl.
• Ensure the motor and processing
blade or reversible disc have
completely stopped before
disassembling. Ensure the control
switch button is in the ‘OFF’ position
and the appliance is switched
off at the power outlet and the
power cord is unplugged from the
power outlet before attempting to
move the appliance, when not in
use, if left unattended and before
disassembling, cleaning or storing.
• Do not use attachments other
than those provided with the
Food Processor.
• Do not attempt to operate the
Food Processor by any method
other than those described in
this booklet.
• Care should be taken when
removing the food from the
processing bowl by ensuring the
motor and the processing blade
or reversible disc, have completely
stopped before disassembling.
Ensure the control button is in the
‘OFF’ position, the appliance is
switched off at the power outlet
and unplugged, before removing
the lid from the bowl. The processor
bowl should then be unlocked from
the motor body and the processor
blade or reversible disc carefully
removed before attempting to
remove the processed food.
• Do not blend a dry, thick or heavy
mixture for more than 60 seconds
without turning the Food Processor
off and stirring the ingredients
before continuing to blend.
• If the Food Processor is operated
continuously for too long, it should
be allowed to rest for 25–30 minutes
before recommencing.
• Do not process hot or boiling
liquids – allow liquids to cool before
placing into the processing bowl.
• Do not move the Food Processor
whilst in operation.
• Do not leave the Food Processor
unattended when in use.
• Do not place any part of the Food
Processor in the microwave oven.
• Do not process thin fluids such as
water, milk, stock, juice, etc., above
MAX LIQUID FILL level marked on the
processor bowl as this could result
in overflow. To reduce the risk of
overflow, always add drier or thicker
ingredients to the processor bowl
prior to adding fluids.
• Do not place anything on top of
the Food Processor when the lid is
on, when in use and when stored.
• Keep the Food Processor clean.
Follow the Maintaining Your Food
Processor instructions provided in

shred are of a suitable size to be fed
through the feed chute.
Place the food inside the feed chute
and push down with the food pusher.
10
NOTE: Never push down any
foods with your hands and do
not put your hands down the
feed chute at any time during
processing. Always use the food
pusher to push the food down
the feed chute.
For using the processing blade –
with the ingredients inside the
processor bowl, start the unit using
the ‘ON’ or ‘PULSE’ setting. Before
commencing ensure that the food
pusher is in place to avoid splashing
from the feed chute. Ingredients can
be added through the feed chute
whilst processing.
If ingredients stick to the sides of the
processor bowl during processing, press
the control switch button to the ‘OFF’
position, switch off at the power outlet
and unplug, remove the processor lid
and then push the food back onto
the blades using the plastic spatula
to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

ALWAYS store the blade with the protective cover provided.
Chopping
Ingredients
Onions, Vegetables, Fruits
and Cooked Meats
Raw Meats (Boneless)
Herbs
Breadcrumbs or
Biscuit
Nuts (Shells Removed)
Use Processing Blade
Procedure
Cut ingredients into approximately 2.5cm cubes.
Place in processor bowl, up to 750g at a time.
Process, using the ‘PULSE’ setting until the ingredients
are chopped as desired. Remove lid and scrape
the sides down with the spatula between pulses to
ensure more even chopping.
Trim the meat of fat and gristle, remove any bones.
Cut into 2.5cm cubes. Process up to 750g at a
time, scraping down the sides of the processor
bowl, until the meat is coarse or fine as desired.
Make sure the herbs are as dry as possible. Place
in the processor bowl and process until finely
chopped. Scrape down the sides of the processor
bowll at least once during processing. Up to 4 cups
of firmly packed herbs can be processed at a time.
Quarter the slices of bread and break up the
biscuits. Place them in the processor bowl. Process
up to 1½ loaves of bread, crusts removed, or 1
loaf with crusts, at a time. Use stale bread for dry
breadcrumbs.
Place up to 2 cups of nuts in the processor bowl
at a time and process using the ‘PULSE’ setting.
If chopped too finely the nuts will become oily
and eventually form a butter. Processing smaller
quantities at one time will ensure even chopping.
Hard Cheeses
Hard Boiled Eggs
NOTE: When mixing liquids with the processing blade, do not fill above the bowls
750ml fill line. Do not use the MAX speed as liquids will spill over the bowl.
To process hard cheese such as Parmesan, first cut
the cheese into 2cm cubes. Drop cubes of cheese
down the feed chute, processing 200g at a time.
Shell and halve the eggs before placing in the
processor bowl. Process using the ‘PULSE’ setting.

bowl, reversible disc, food pusher,
and processing blades in warm
soapy water after each use. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
3. Do not allow the processing blade
and the reversible disc to soak in
water for an extended period of
time, as they may damage the
metal finish.
4. The processing blade and
reversible disc are extremely
sharp! Handle with care. They
should only be held by the central
plastic spindle. Use caution when
handling and storing these parts.
Always store the processing
blade with the protective cover
provided and out of reach
from children.
5. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
The processing blade, processor
lid, processor bowl, reversible disc
and food pusher may also be
washed in the dishwasher.
6. Wipe the motor housing with
a soft, damp cloth (do not use
abrasive agents or cloths which
can damage the surface). Dry and
polish with a soft, lint free cloth.
7. DO NOT immerse the motor base,
power plug or cord in water or
any other liquid.
8. Before storage, thoroughly wash
and dry all removable parts.
Assemble the food processor and
store on the kitchen bench or
in an easy to access cupboard.
Store out of reach of children.
