06 DESCRIPTION OF ACCESSORIES

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 - 11/2 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).
