Kneading Hook (c1)
The hook is used when making all types of bread or yeast dough and takes all the hard work out kneading. The planetary action ensures a smooth, elastic dough. Use it for bread, rolls, buns, pizza, pasta dough and sweet dough including yeast batter doughs for savarin, kugelhopf and rum babas.
Mixer blade (c2)
This is the attachment that is most frequently used. You can use it for mixing cake mixtures either by the creamed or all-in-one method, making pastry, for rubbed-in mixtures such as crumbles and rock cakes, mashed potatoes, biscuit dough, choux pastry, icing and crumbing biscuits for cheesecakes and biscuit crumb flan cases.
Whisk (c3)
The shape of the whisk is designed to incorporate the maximum amount of air into the food. Use for whisking egg whites, meringues, whipping cream, batters mixtures, mayonnaise, whipped desserts such as soufflés and mousses, cheesecakes, and whisked sponges. Do not use the whisk for heavy mixtures, such as creaming fat and sugar, as you could damage it.
Blender (d)
Ideal for blending and puréeing soups and sauces, making frothy milkshakes, smoothies and cocktails, puréeing soft fruits or cooked vegetables and fruit, making batters and mayonnaise. The stainless steel jug, apart from being stylish, has the advantage of keeping the ingredients cool which is ideal when making smoothies, cocktails and milkshakes. It can blend up to 1.5 litres.
Mincer (e) (Available as an additional accessory)
This accessory enables you to mince your own meat, game, poultry and fish to make burgers, fish cakes, pâtés, terrines and minced meat for chilli-con-carne, bolonnaise sauce, Shepherds pie, meatballs, etc. There are two
different sizes of mincing screens – medium and coarse.
Mini-chopper (f) (Available as an
additional accessory)
Useful for chopping cloves of garlic, herbs, parsley, cooked ham, small amounts of bread for breadcrumbs and baby food.
Note: the mini-chopper is not designed to grind coffee beans or hard spices.
Grinder (g) (Available as an additional accessory)
Grinds spices, pepper, dried figs and dried fruit in seconds.
Note: the grinder is not designed to grind coffee beans. A separate coffee grinder is available to purchase.
Stainless steel bowl (b1)
The large capacity bowl is made of stainless steel which has the advantage of staying cool when whipping cream, making pastry and whisking egg whites. The bowl has handles to assist when scraping out food and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Splash guard (b2)
The splashguard stops powdery food like flour from producing a cloud of powder when mixing. It also prevents any splashes from liquid being mixed in the bowl. There is an opening at the front so that additional ingredients can be spooned directly into the bowl during mixing. The accessory can easily be changed without having to remove the splashguard.
Spatula (h)
The flexible spatula is designed to fit the contours of the bowl and scrape every last bit of mixture out.
Dough cutter (i)
An extremely useful tool, for cutting bread and biscuit dough. Make up a batch of dough and divide it into portions using the dough cutter.
Accessories included are:

Weighing mode
This function enables you to dispense with
separate scales and weigh your ingredients up to a total of 4kg in grams only. The scales weigh in 5g increments.
Place the machine on a clean, horizontal
work surface.
Place the stainless steel bowl (b1) or either
the assembled blender (d) or the assembled mini-chopper (f) or the assembled grinder (g) into position.
Press the zero ‘T’ button (a10); Initially the
display shows 8888 but after a delay of a few seconds a ‘0’ will appear on the display (a11). Fill the bowl to the desired amount. Allow a few seconds for the weight to stabilise to avoid adding too much of the ingredients.
Make sure all ingredients you use are
evenly distributed in the bottom of the bowl to get an accurate weight reading.
To weigh additional ingredients press the
zero ‘T’ button (a10) each time to reset to zero.
You can weigh additional ingredients
directly in the stainless steel bowl (b1) or place a separate bowl or plate on top of the multifunction head. Press the ‘T’ button to reset the weighing scale to zero.
Timer mode
This function enables you to:
Measure the processing time: once the
ingredients are weighed and the accessory cover in place, the seconds counter will start to run as soon as you turn the speed control (a1), enabling you to measure the processing time.
Program an operating time up to 16
minutes: Once the ingredients are weighed and the accessory cover in place, press the
button or the button (a12) of the timer; the display (a11) will show 0. Time is shown in 10sec increments.
To set an operating time, press the button to increase the setting or the button to reduce it (a12).
- For longer times press and hold the button and the setting will change more quickly.
- For shorter times or fine adjustment, press the button or the button briefly several times.
- To set a time more quickly, press and hold down the button or the button pressed until the desired time is shown.
- To jump directly from the maximum time of 16 minutes to zero, press the button for 2 seconds.
- To jump directly from zero to the maximum time of 16 minutes, press the button for 2 seconds.
- To cancel a time setting, press the button and the button together for one second.
As soon as you turn the speed control knob (a1), the display will show the time counting down and the appliance will stop at the end of the programmed time. Once STOP is displayed, to clear this the speed control knob should be turned back to 0.
For speed 1 you may need to turn the control knob (a1) slightly past speed 1 setting and back again to the number 1.
The appliance can also be stopped at any time by turning the speed control knob (a1) back to ‘0’.
Adjusting the height of your accessories
Your accessories are equipped with a system for adjusting the height above the bottom of the bowl for optimum results.
Unplug the appliance.
Loosen the nut on the whisk, mixing blade
and kneading hook using a 14mm spanner (not included with the product).
Press the release lever (a3), lift the
multifunction head and insert the whisk, mixing blade or kneading hook by pushing upwards and at the same time turn it a quarter turn anti-clockwise to lock it in position (fig 1.1)
Lower the head of the appliance (a4) with
the lever (a3) and press down until a click is heard.
Adjust the height by turning the shaft (fig
1.2) Adjust the accessories to the ideal position, i.e. as close as possible to the sides of the bowl without touching it. If the accessory is too far away from the bottom of the bowl it may not mix all the ingredients properly.
Lift the head (a4) of the appliance again,
holding the whisk, mixing blade or kneading hook in position, and retighten the nut.
Before using for the first time
Clean all parts of the accessories with
warm water and washing up liquid. Rinse and dry.
Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-
resistant, clean and dry work surface and then plug in your appliance.
Operating your appliance
It can be started in a number of ways:
Intermittent (pulse) operation: turn the speed control knob (a1) to the pulse position (a2) repeatedly for better control of the preparation process.
Continuous operation: turn the speed control knob (a1) to the desired setting from 1 to 12 according to the food being prepared.
You can change the setting during use. Stop: return the knob (a1) to the 0 setting.
N.B When selecting speed 1, you may find that to start the machine you may need to turn the control knob (a1) slightly past the speed 1 setting and back again to the number1.

Blender assembly (d): pour hot water with a
few dr
ops of washing up liquid into the blender jug. Close the lid. Fit it on the appliance and give a few pulses. Remove the blender, rinse the jug under running water and leave it upside down to dry. For cleaning more difficult residues, especially with thicker preparations, the blade nut assembly can be detached from the bottom of the jug. To do this, place the empty blender upside down on a flat surface, release the blade/nut assembly with a quarter turn clockwise and lift out the mounting/blade and seal with care as the blade can be sharp. Re-fit the mounting/blade and seal with a quarter turn anti-clockwise.

Knead the olives into the dough by hand. Cut the dough in half and knead each half into a ball. Roll it each piece into a r
ectangle 1 cm thick.
Place each fougasse on a baking tray.
4 Cut gashes in them using a sharp knife and pull
the gashes open with your fingers. In each of the slits, place small lumps of the cheese, and push them down into the dough. Loosely cover the shaped dough with oiled polythene. Leave the fougasse to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until double in size.
5 Preheat the oven to 230°C/Fan oven 220°C, Gas
