ASSEMBLING THE PARTS

Cap: it must always be ﬁtted into the lid except when stated otherwise in the recipe� Turn it in a clockwise direction to secure�

The cap can become very hot in the cooking mode.

Make sure you hold it by the central black plastic part.

Glass lid:

Open

Watertight lid seal: always make sure it is correctly slotted into the rim of the lid�

Double-wall metal bowl

Open

Universal blade Screw (ﬁts on underside of the bowl)

Temperature sensor

Induction hot plate

Closed

Blade See p� 14

14

Assembly

Begin by attaching the blade (see p�15)� Next, lock the bowl into position, followed by the lid (with its watertight seal), then the cap� The appliance will only work if the bowl and lid are correctly locked into position� Simply follow these steps in reverse order to take them apart�

Make sure you regularly check the seal for damage. If it is damaged or leaks, it must be replaced immediately.

Removing the blade assembly

BLADE ASSEMBLY

Turn the bowl upside down and use the cap as indicated in image above� Ensure you place a soft protection on your worktop as once the blade is loose it will fall out of the bowl�

Turn the cap in a clockwise direction to release the blade�

Holding the universal blade assembly by the top, remove the seal for cleaning�

Attaching the blade assembly

Put the seal back on the blade� The seal has two straight sides to help you position it correctly�

Whenever you use the metal bowl, always check that the seal is properly ﬁtted and the screw has been tightened.

Danger of burns from hot food splashes: Always insert the cap in the lid (unless stated otherwise in the recipe), especially when you are blending hot ingredients above Speed 7. If you are making soup and need to add ingredients via the lid opening: Always press STOP, then add the ingredients, put the cap back, and press AUTO to resume the programme.

Always hold the cap by the central plastic part. Never ﬁll the bowl above the max. mark:

0.5 l for steaming, 2.5 l for other preparations. Never exceed the maximum amounts (p.13).

Slot the base of the blade assembly into the hole at the bottom of the bowl� Turn the bowl upside down, ensuring you are securely and safely hold the blade in place�

Position the screw on the underside of the bowl and tighten with the cap by turning in an anti-clockwise direction�

15

EGG WHISK

Slot the egg whisk onto the universal blade�

Always check that the egg whisk is correctly slotted onto the blade assembly before starting a programme, to avoid damaging the attachment.

Never go beyond Speed 7 or 80 °C to avoid damaging the egg whisk. Never add ingredients that might prevent the whisk from turning properly.

Add the ingredients, close the lid and remove the cap before starting the programme�

Press both buttons at once to release the egg whisk� The whisk can be fully dismantled for thorough cleaning�

TIPS AND ADVICE

Beaten egg whites

• Your bowl must be clean and dry� It only takes a tiny amount of fat /grease to prevent the egg whites from expanding�

• To create more volume, make sure your eggs are at room temperature and add a pinch of salt�

• Always remove the cap beforehand, otherwise your egg whites will not have enough air in them�

• The WHISK programme is intended to produce very frothy egg whites, so for a closer texture (e�g� for meringues), you can increase the speed to 7�

Whipped cream

• Always use full-fat whipping cream�

• Refrigerate the cream and the whisk for at least 30 min�

• You can chill the bowl by placing a few ice cubes inside, running the CRUSH programme, then empty and thoroughly dry the bowl�

• Pour the cream and icing sugar into the bowl, remove the stopper from the lid and run the EXPERT programme for 2½ minutes at Speed 7 (no heat)� Depending on the sort of cream you use and its temperature, you may need to run the programme again for a few minutes, keeping a careful eye on the cream to make sure it does not turn into butter� The cream is whipped when the whisk leaves a trail�

16

Other uses

• To make a sorbet even lighter, at the end of the FROZEN DESSERT programme, ﬁt the egg whisk and run the EXPERT programme for 30 seconds at Speed 6�

• For some recipes, you may need to heat the mixture as you whisk it (e�g� Swiss meringue), in which case you will have to switch to EXPERT mode� Always follow the recipes in the book to avoid any damage to your product�

STEAM

Pour 0�5 litre of water into the bowl (up to the level)�

Cook

Steam

Select the Steaming submenu� Press AUTO to start the programme�

Risk of burns. Stay away from the steam and handle the parts (bowl, lid, etc.) with caution. Never use the steam tray without the steamer basket.

Fit the steamer basket�

Use the spatula handle to remove the steam tray�

If needed, add the steam tray to create a second level�

Lift the basket out with a cloth or oven glove�

TIPS AND ADVICE

• If the bowl has no more water in it, a warning signal rings�

• To avoid ingredients (e�g� ﬁsh) sticking, grease the bottom of the steamer basket beforehand�

• To steam ﬁsh, we recommend reducing the temperature to 100 °C, to preserve its delicate consistency and ﬂavour�

• You can directly steam frozen ﬁsh by extending the cooking time by 40 - 50%� However, in terms of appearance and ﬂavour, it is best to defrost the ﬁsh ﬁrst�

• Add herbs, spices or a stock cube to the water (0�5 l) to add a delicate ﬂavour to the ingredients as they cook�

• Your food will cook better if you avoid overloading the basket and/or tray so that the steam can circulate freely (do not block all the holes)� Cut all the ingredients at the same size to ensure consistent results�

• If you are using the tray, place the ingredients that require the longest cooking time in the basket below�

• Do not put more than 0�5L of water, especially if you are steaming ﬁsh as certain types of ﬁsh cause the water to foam�

17

STEAM

These cooking times are provided for a given amount, with water at room temperature (about 20°C), and may vary according to the thickness, freshness and nature of your ingredients� (E�g� It takes less time to steam a new carrot than it does a winter carrot of the same size)�

Check the cooking progress intermittently and adjust cooking times accordingly�

TIPS AND ADVICE

Cooking

• Cooking times can vary, according to the temperature or size of your ingredients, as well as their nature� A winter carrot, for instance, will take longer to cook than a new carrot� Always check the cooking progress and adjust the cooking time slightly, if necessary�

• Milk-based preparations tend to stick (as they do in saucepans), so use milk at room temperature rather than milk straight out of the fridge�

• When simmering, avoid dicing the food too ﬁne, so that it holds its shape better when cooked�

• Cut the food into uniform pieces so that it is evenly cooked�

• To rescue a sauce that has curdled (e�g� custard), switch to EXPERT mode for 1 minute at Speed 13 (no heat)�

Keep-warm function

• The bowl can keep your food warm for up to 2 hours without consuming any electricity�

• You can also customize the keep-warm function� Simply select the Expert mode, then adjust the duration to suit your needs, set the speed to 0, and choose a temperature between 40 °C and 80 °C (60 °C is generally recommended for keeping most foods warm)�

Lid

• To prevent the lid from dripping onto your worktop or your appliance when you remove it, check that the cap is properly secured, then lift the lid and invert it directly above the bowl and set it upside down on your worktop�

• Always remove the lid using the handles on either side� Never remove the lid by holding the cap�

Using the 2-in-1 spatula (metal bowl)

The 2-in-1 spatula supplied with your appliance has a silicone head for mixing ingredients, and a metal head for scraping the bowl if food has become stuck to the bottom of the bowl during use�

19

CLEANING

Automatic rinsing

To make cleaning easier, run the Rinsing programme immediately after use�

Rinsing

Pour in 0�5 litre water add a few drops of washing-up liquid�

Close the lid and replace cap� Start the Rinsing programme�

Rinse with tap water� Clean thoroughly�

Thorough cleaning

Always unplug your appliance ﬁrst and wait for it to cool down if necessary�

Remove the seal from the rim of the lid� If necessary, use a spoon handle to help you�

• All the parts (except for the motor base) are dishwasher safe and can also be washed by hand� The bowl should be placed completely upside down in the dishwasher, then allowed to drain the right way up on your draining board before being put back on its base� That way, any water that has found its way inside the double wall will run out through the hole beneath the handle intended for that purpose�

• Wipe the motor base with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly�

• Check that the underside of the bowl is dry before putting it back on its base�

Never immerse the motor base in water or wash it under running water.

Unscrew the blade assembly (p�14) and remove the seal�

Use a brush to clean under the blades properly�

20

TIPS AND ADVICE (see also Frenquently Asked questions on our website)

• To avoid resistant smells (eg: onions) : wash the seal in the dishwasher and remove the cap when you don’t use the Cook expert�

• If food is ﬁrmly stuck to the bottom, use white vinegar: leave it to soak� You can also use a metal scourer and if necessary the metal part of the spatula�

• If necessary, use a bottle brush to clean inside the egg whisk�

Fitting the metal blade.

METAL BLADE ASSEMBLY/MINI BOWL

Note: The metal blade will only ﬁt in the main bowl�

Remove the blade from the plastic shield� Keep it to store the blade�

Slot the blade onto the motor shaft�

Fitting the mini bowl

Lower the mini bowl onto the motor shaft�

The metal blades are extremely sharp. Always hold the blade by the central hub. When emptying your bowl, either hold the top of the blade assembly to stop it falling

out or remove it ﬁrst.

Slot the mini blade onto the motor shaft�

TIPS AND ADVICE

Metal blade

• When processing large amounts, cut the ingredients into 2-cm dice�

• Meat or ﬁsh: use the Pulse button to obtain exactly the result you want�

Mini bowl

• Chopping fresh herbs: check that both the herbs and the bowl are perfectly clean and dry� You will achieve a better cut and the herbs will keep for longer�

• You don’t have to have the midi bowl in place to use the mini bowl�

Large feed tube: for fruit and vegetables that are round or cut into large pieces�

Slot the disc support onto the motor shaft�

Turn it until it locks into position�

MAX

Your appliance will only work if the large pusher is below the max� mark�

Select the disc (e�g� R/G 4 = 4mm grater or E/S2 = 2mm slicer)�

Make sure you do not put the disc on upside down�

Small feed tube: for small or long and thin fruit and vegetables�

24

After grating or slicing, you will be left with tiny pieces of fruit or vegetables on your discs� This is entirely normal, and ensures a ﬂawless end result� Simply remove them before serving�

Always handle the discs with caution. Only use the pushers to guide the food down the feed tube. Do not press down too hard on the pusher, to avoid damaging the appliance.

DISCS

Large feed tube: for round fruit or vegetables (can be left whole)�

Small feed tube: when grating fruit or vegetables, lay them ﬂat in the feed tube�

Small feed tube: to obtain perfectly round slices, stand your long fruit or vegetables upright in the feed tube�

TIPS AND ADVICE

• For long slices or shreds, cut the fruit or vegetables into sections equal to the width of the feed tube and stack them horizontally, taking care not to go above the maximum mark (e�g� for potato gratin)�

• To grate or slice soft foodstuffs (e�g� tomatoes), only push them down very gently to avoid squashing them�

• You can also slice meat or ﬁsh (e�g� carpaccio), in which case, place it in the freezer until it is hard to the touch but still easy to pierce with the tip of a knife� Place the meat or ﬁsh ﬂat in the feed tube�

• When slicing spring onion, use the small feed tube�

• We recommend grating or slicing hard cheeses (e�g� Parmesan) when they are at room temperature� However, for slightly softer cheeses (e�g� gruyere), it is best to chill them beforehand�

25

CLEANING

Always unplug your appliance before you start to clean it�

Remove the Food Processing bowls from the adaptor� Bowl and accessories: clean immediately after use using hot water and washing up liquid�

To preserve the appearance and lifetime of the removable parts, make sure you follow these simple rules:

• Dishwasher: select the programme with the minimum temperature (ideally < 40°C) and avoid the drying cycle (generally > 60°C)�

• Washing by hand: avoid leaving the parts to soak in detergent for too long� Avoid abrasive products (e�g� scourer)�

• Detergents: read the manufacturer’s instructions to check whether the product is suitable for

plastic parts�

Never immerse the motor base in water or wash it under running water. Always handle the blades and discs with caution.

Use a bottle brush to clean inside the blade assembly�

Motor housing and adapter:

wipe with a soft damp cloth, then dry�

TIPS AND ADVICE

• Some foods (e�g� carrots) can stain plastics: rub with kitchen paper soaked in vegetable oil to reduce the staining�

• Do not leave the discs and blades to soak in water, and dry them thoroughly after washing to avoid oxidation spots� This spotting does not affect the quality of the blades�
