THE CONTROL PANEL AND PROGRAMMES
Power On Indicator Light
When the MultiChef is connected to the power supply, a red pilot light at the top of the display panel
above the digital screen will come on and will remain this way until the machine is disconnected
from the electrical supply.
A ‘bleep’ which lasts for a couple of seconds confirms that the machine is ready to be used.
All the functions that appear on the LCD screen, such as time, speed and temperature will show ‘0’
when machine first switched on. When you set time and speed, with or without temperature and
then press the On/Off button to turn MultiChef on; the light will change to blue.
Timer
The Timer button is used to program the cooking and/or the preparation time of the ingredients
for a maximum of 60 minutes. Using this button the MultiChef can be programmed in minutes and
in seconds, with an interval of 1 second for the first minute and then in intervals of 30 seconds.
The timing can be increased by turning the Timer control to the right or to the left to reduce it. The
MultiChef counts the time down and the initial timing of the function can be changed if needed.
You have to select an amount of time (and a speed) for the MultiChef to work.
On/Off
This button is used to start the MultiChef after the time, speed and temperature (if you are going
to cook in the machine) has been selected. To stop the MultiChef, simply press this button again.
This will also delete any settings you have for time, temperature and speed.
Pulse
The Pulse function is used to mix and chop ingredients at a very high speed – push and hold the
button for 3-4 seconds maximum
Caution: When using this function is important to note that the ingredients may splash and could
scald if the contents are hot. Place a dishcloth over the top of the measuring cup and then hold
the measuring cup in place while using the pulse function
Do not use the whisk with this function.
8 9
Temperature
The MultiChef has a temperature range from a minimum of 40ºC to a maximum of 130ºC this can
be set using the TEMP control. The temperature is increased or selected by turning this control in a
clock wise direction and reduced by turning in an anticlockwise direction. The selected temperature
will appear on the screen and an acoustic signal will indicate during the programme when the
MultiChef has reached the selected temperature.
The innovative design has its heating system in the base of the bowl and this allows the machine
to quickly reach the selected temperature. The temperature can be set in increments of 10ºC and
begins from 40°c. The temperature can be changed during a programme without having to stop
the bowl.
Note: When preparing ingredients at a temperature higher than 60ºC , it is strongly recommended
not to use the Pulse button. For safety reasons, the MultiChef will not operate at more than Speed
3 when the temperature function is being used.
Speed
The Muilti Chef has 10 speeds for chopping, mixing, blending, kneading and grating that are
controlled by the Speed button.
Speed for creamy mixtures and dough
As certain recipes require a smooth or slow speed, such as cream, soups, whipped creams and
cake mixes the MultiChef includes the whisk accessory. This is specially designed for these types of
dishes and can also be used to make dough for breads and pastry.
This accessory is placed on top of the blades inside the bowl and mixes at speeds 1- 4.
Note: Do not use the machine above speed 4 when the whisk is in place.
SCREEN MESSAGES

The MultiChef bowl comes with two security sensors in the lid and base of the bowl.
When the cover is open or incorrectly closed, this warning symbol will appear on the
screen.
Programmed temperature reached
This symbol flashes on the screen for a few seconds to indicate that the MultiChef has
reached the selected temperature. A ‘bleep’ will also sound when the temperature is
reached.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE MULTICHEF AND USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your MultiChef for the first time, make sure that it has all the listed parts and
accessories.
Placing the bowl into the base:
• Ensure that the blades are secured in the bowl.
• Connect the bowl to the base unit by placing it in the cavity and lightly pressing it down
so that it fits correctly in place. The cover will not fit into place if the bowl is not properly
connected.
• The bowl has a 2 litre maximum capacity with internal and external 0.5 litre graduations
marked on the bowl. The maximum level should not be exceeded.
Placing the lid:
• Firstly, place the lid diagonally on top of the bowl and turn in a clockwise direction in such a
way that the tongue found underneath the front of the lid, fits into the space under the lip
on the base unit.
• The clip at the back of the lid, should slot easily into the handle of the bowl.
• If the lid is not properly secured the MultiChef will not work and the bowl symbol will appear
on the screen.
• If the bowl is incorrectly placed the “HHH” symbol will appear on the screen and will only
disappear when the bowl is correctly fitted in place.
10 11
Assembling the blades
• The blades can be removed easily for cleaning and maintenance of the machine.
• Place the bowl upside down and turn the lever, found in the base of the bowl, anticlockwise
to remove the blades.
To assemble the blades again, hold them in place and turn the lever, found in the base of the bowl,
in a clockwise direction.
Caution
Special care must be taken when removing or replacing the blades as they are very sharp. After
cooking, leave the blades to cool before handling them.
Bowl
The MultiChef bowl is made of stainless steel and has a maximum capacity of 2 litres with internal
and external 0.5 litre graduations marked on the bowl.
Caution
Never exceed the maximum fill level.
Special care must be taken when removing the bowl from the base unit to avoid spills and splashes.
Lid
The MultiChef only works with the lid properly in place and therefore it’s essential to close it
correctly. The bowl symbol will appear on the screen to indicate that the bowl lid is not properly
closed.
Measuring Cup
The Measuring Cup is very versatile and allows ingredients to be added to the MultiChef when in
use.
• For adding ingredients to the bowl without removing the lid.
• To maintain the cooking temperature.
• As a measuring cup with a capacity of 100ml.
Caution
Do not remove the Measuring Cup at speeds higher than speed 4 to avoid the ingredients from
splashing.
Basket
The MultiChef comes with a Basket that is placed inside the bowl. This is perfect for preparing
different types of dishes where you want to maintain textures of certain ingredients.
Steamer
The Steam Accessory is perfect for steaming meat, fish and vegetables. This accessory consists of
three parts the first which is an outer tray for collecting liquids that may fall from the ingredients
during the cooking process. Secondly there is a smaller size tray for placing the ingredients inside
for steaming. Thirdly there is the lid which is used to keep the steam from escaping.
WARNING
This accessory is not to be used in microwaves, ovens or other cooking appliances.
Care must be taken when using the Steamer as it may have steam or hot water inside the lower
tray.
How to use the steamer
• Put the bowl in place in the base unit and add 0.5 litres of water.
• Put the lid on the base unit, leaving the clear measuring cup off
• Put the steamer on top of the lid ensuring it fits well in the measuring cup slot.
• Put the ingredients in the top tray for steaming.
• Place on the steamer lid.
• Program the time and temperature.
• The ingredients will start cooking when the water/liquid begins to boil at 100°C and the steam
rises from the bowl and passes to the trays.
Whisk
The Whisk is ideal for making creams, purees, whipped cream, cake mixes and bread doughs.
The Whisk is placed on top of the blades and works with speeds 1, 2, 3 and 4. To remove it, hold it
firmly by the upper part and pull lightly. Do not use the Whisk with the Pulse function.
Spatula
Use this accessory for stirring or mixing the ingredients.
Use the spatula to remove the Cooking basket from the bowl and to lower the ingredients from
the walls of the bowl.
WARNING
Do not use other utensils to stir the ingredients inside the MultiChef bowl as these may damage
the machine and may get caught between its blades.
Never place the Spatula inside the bowl whilst the blades are in motion.
ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES
After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adapt a few of your own
recipes. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your own and use
this as a guide.
Onion and garlic often seem to have a more intense flavour when used in the MultiChef, if you are
adapting a recipe, reducing the onion or garlic by 50-75% may be helpful initially.
Liquids may not evaporate as much as in a saucepan so you may want to reduce them and monitor
during cooking. More liquid can then be added if required.
Once you have used your MultiChef a few times you will soon realise all its capabilities and that
the possibilities are endless.
12 13
HINTS AND TIPS
• The speed is restricted to 1,2 or 3 when you are using the temperature control too.
• Whilst the MultiChef is working it is possible that the blades will turn more slowly than
normal, this is to stop the mechanism from overheating and damaging the machine.
• Allow hot ingredients to cool before transferring them from the mixing bowl to another dish.
• When cooking with high temperatures, caution should be taken when opening the lid as
steam that may be released from the bowl.
RECIPES

example, 5ml is 1 tsp and 15ml is 1 tbsp. We recommend you use a set of measuring spoons to get
accurate measurements when making these recipes. Unless otherwise stated when recipe has lid
on, this will include the inner measuring cup as well as the main lid.
