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

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).

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

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.

Intermittent operation for better control of chopping or blending.

AUTO MIX operates continuously with bursts of power for optimal mixing of certain preparations.

For making dough, pastry and cakes with the kneading accessory, the preprogrammed functions regulate the time and ideal speed of your food processor as well as stopping it automatically.

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.

• 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.

• Plug in your appliance. The LCD display screen lights up and you can use all your food

processor’s functions.
