Do not let long hair, scarves, ties, etc. hang
over the accessories when in operation.
Stainless Steel Blade (e)
This attachment is used for chopping, mixing, making breadcrumbs and batters. You can also use it for blending and puréeing instead of the blender but the texture for soups is not usually as smooth. The blade is fitted onto the spindle.
Kneading Blade (c4)
For kneading and mixing. Ideal for bread & pizza dough, cake making and pastry dough.
Grating Discs (A/C)
The appropriate disc is fitted onto the spindle. One of the discs is reversible with side (A) for fine grating and side (C) for coarse grating plus there is a Parmesan grating disc. With all grating a small piece of unprocessed food always remains between the disc and the lid. This is normal.
Slicing Disc (D/H)
The disc is fitted onto the spindle. The disc is reversible with side (D) for fine slicing and side (H) for coarse slicing. The fine side gives wafer thin slicing but the coarse side slices food to about 2-3 mm thickness.
Wire Whisking Attachment (g2)
For mayonnaise, whisking egg whites, meringues and whipped cream. Note: when whipping egg whites the total time taken is about 1 - 1
1
/
2 minutes instead of seconds.
Blender Jug (h3)
Ideal for puréeing soups and sauces, making frothy milkshakes and cocktails, puréeing soft fruits or cooked vegetables and fruit, making batters plus crushing ice.
Mini Chopper (i)
Chops cloves of garlic, herbs, parsley, ham, small amounts of bread for breadcrumbs, nuts and to prepare baby food.
Note: It is not suitable for grinding coffee beans.
Grinder (j)
(Available as an optional accessory) Grinds dried fruits such as figs, stoned prunes, dried apricots, etc
French fries disc (depending on model) (E)
(Available as an optional accessory) Easily cuts thin cut ‘American style’ fries from potatoes.
Storage box (k2)
The box (k2) holds the metal blade, the spindle, reversible grating disc, reversible slicing disc and parmesan disc. Twist the lid (k1) anti-clockwise to lock it shut.
The lid (k1)
(k1) can also be used as a weighing platform box on the food processor. Remove the transparent bowl (b3) and place the lid (k1) over the motor outlet (a2) (see fig.3 on page 9).

Weighing mode
Scale control
To make it easier to prepare your food,
your food processor is equipped with kitchen scales integrated into your appliance.
To use, place the bowl and the accessory
of your choice on the motor unit (a2).
Press button ‘T’ (this is the Tare function) to
activate the weighing function. (fig.1). 0g is displayed after a few seconds.
Pour your ingredients directly into the bowl
up to the desired amount (fig.2). The scale weighs in increments of 5g. Make sure all your ingredients are distributed evenly in the bowl to ensure you get an accurate weight reading.
You can weigh additional ingredients
without emptying the bowl by resetting the ‘T’ button each time so the display changes to 0g.
Place the lid on the bowl and press one of
the speed buttons (1,2 or 3) to start the appliance.
If you wish to weigh your ingredients in a
container other than those provided, use the lid (k1) of your storage box (k) as a weighing tray. (fig.3).
Practical tips when using the weighing mode
You can only use the weighing mode when
the motor is not in operation.
Do not use on a work surface
that is not flat.
Do not exceed the maximum load of 4.5kg.
Do not use your food processor near a
mobile phone or microwave, if the latter is in operation, as it may cause interference.
The scale is sensitive to any movement or
knocks on the work surface.
Timer mode
When your appliance is set in operation,
the time is automatically displayed on the screen. You can thus view the running time.
By pressing the ‘OFF’ button repeatedly,
the timer will increase in 10 second increments up to a maximum time of 6 minutes.
By pressing and holding the ‘OFF’ button
the timer will increase more quickly up to a maximum time of 6 minutes.
Once you have set the timer select a speed 1,
2 or 3 or Auto Mix and the appliance will start.
A time countdown appears on your screen
and the motor stops automatically at the end of the programmed time. You can stop your food processor at any time by pressing the ‘OFF’ button.
To cancel an error in programming the time
Should you make a mistake in programming the timer, it is necessary to hold down the ‘OFF’ button up to the maximum time of 6 minutes; then briefly press the ‘OFF’ button again to return the timer to zero.
In the event of any instability
Your Krups food processor is equipped with a microprocessor that controls and analyses its stability. In the event of any instability, the rotational speed of the motor will be reduced, and if it persists, the motor will come to a standstill and ‘STOP’ will be displayed on the screen. To restart your appliance, press the desired button.

Press once: making bread, pizza dough and shortcrust pastry (processing time 2 min 30 sec).
Press twice: making leavened dough such as Brioche, Kugelhopf (processing time 5 min 30 sec).
Press three times: making cakes (processing time 5 min).
Stop button or timer programming.

Safety button. See ‘trouble shooting’ on page 17
Before using for the first time, wash all accessory parts in warm water with washing up liquid
(caution: the drive unit for the whisk (g1) and the lid of the blender (h2) are not dishwasher safe). Rinse and dry.
Place the motor unit on a flat, stable, clean and dry surface.

Troubleshooting
The blades of the accessories are extremely
sharp. Handle them with care.If your appliance does not work, a padlock appears on the LCD screen of the motor unit: check the position of the bowl and that the lid is locked.
If the bowl and the lid are properly positioned,
and the padlock r
emains on the screen, this means that your food processor has overheated. Leave it to stand for a few minutes and then start it again.
If your appliance stops during operation: this
means that your food pr
ocessor has detected excessive vibrations and has turned itself to the safety position. Check if you are using the recommended speed, and that you have not exceeded the operating time indicated.
Check the connection and make sure that the
accessories ar
e correctly positioned on the
motor unit.
After 16 minutes of inactivity, the screen
switches to stand-by
. Simply pressing one of the buttons on the control panel (a3) starts it again.
Your appliance still does not work? Please contact our Customer Relations Team first for expert help and advice:

Cleaning
Unplug the appliance.
For easier cleaning, quickly rinse the
accessories straight after use.
Wash and dry the accessories (they are
dishwasher safe, apart fr
om the drive unit of the whisk (g1), and the lid of the blender (h2)). All other accessories can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Pour warm water with a few drops of washing-
up liquid into the blender jug (h3). Close the lid (h2), fitted with the measuring cap (h1). Operate in short bursts by pr
essing the pulse button several times. Unplug the appliance. Rinse everything under running water and leave to dry.
Once assembled do not dismantle the blade
support (h5).
If the accessories become discoloured by food
(carr
ots, oranges, etc.), rub them gently with a kitchen towel dipped in cooking oil and then wash as normal.
Do not submerge the motor unit (a), or the drive
unit of the whisk (g1) in water
, or under running
water. Wipe the motor unit with a damp sponge.
To clean the metal whisk (g), carefully detach
the metal whisk (g2) fr
om the whisk drive unit (g1) by gently pulling them apart. The whisk drive unit (g1) should NOT be submerged in water and should be cleaned carefully using warm water and washing up liquid. The whisk (g2) can be submerged in warm water containing washing up liquid and can be cleaned using a cloth or washing up brush.
