WHAT THE ACCESSORIES ARE USED FOR

Shown below are the main tasks that you would use the accessories for.
Please note that some of the accessories fit onto the spindle.

Metal Blade

Basic attachment for mixing, chopping,
kneading, making breadcrumbs,
crushing biscuits and batters. You can
also use it for blending and puréeing
instead of the liquidiser, but the texture
for soups is not usually as smooth. The
blade is fitted onto the spindle.

Plastic Kneader Blade

For kneading and mixing. Ideal
for making bread, pastry, biscuits
and cakes. The blade is fitted onto
the spindle.

Grating Disc

Use for grating cheese, vegetables and
fruit. The appropriate disc is fitted to the
holder and then placed onto the spindle.
(A) fine grating and (C) coarse grating
plus optional Parmesan grating disc. With
all grating a piece of unprocessed food
always remains between the holder and
lid, this is normal.

Slicing Disc

For slicing vegetables and fruit. The
appropriate disc is fitted to the holder
and then placed onto the spindle.
2 discs - (D) fine slicing and (H) coarse
slicing. The fine disc gives wafer thin
slicing but the coarse disc gives food
sliced to about 2-3 mm thickness.

Emulsifying disc

(Available as an additional accessory)

For whisking egg whites, meringues
(2 to 7 egg whites) and whipped cream
(up to 0.5 litre). Making mayonnaise and
mousses. Note: for whipping egg
whites the total time taken is about

1

1

/2 - 2 minute instead of seconds.

Balloon Whisk Attachment

For whisking egg whites, meringues
(2 to 7 egg whites) and whipped cream
(up to 0.5 litre). Making mayonnaise and
mousses. Note: for whipping egg
whites the total time taken is about
11/2 - 2 minutes instead of seconds.

Citrus Press

Ideal for all sorts of citrus fruits including
lemons, oranges and grapefruits.

Liquidiser Jug

Ideal for blending and puréeing soups
and sauces, making frothy milkshakes
and cocktails, pureeing soft fruits or
cooked vegetables and fruit, making
batters. Maximum capacity of total
ingredients 1.5 litre.

Centrifugal Juice Extractor

Suitable for extracting juice from fruit
and vegetables such as apples,
pineapples, grapes, carrots, and celery.
This accessory has its own lid and
food pusher.

Mini Chopper

Chops cloves of garlic, herbs, parsley,
ham, small amounts of bread or French
bread for breadcrumbs, nuts (quantities
up to 80g) and prepares baby food.
Note: It is not able to grind coffee beans
or hard spices.

Grinder

(Available as an additional accessory)

Grinds spices, pepper and dried
fruits in seconds.

French Fries disc

Easily cuts thin cut ‘American style’
fries from potatoes.

INTELLIGENT CONTROLS for simple operation

To perform any of the tasks shown opposite, just press the speed symbol indicated
and the speed will be set automatically. You will find that on some of the tasks the
motor will gradually increase in speed during the processing (for liquidiser, whisk and
metal blade). Once it has reached maximum speed the speed can then be manually
adjusted if required by pressing the + or - buttons (A8).

Other tasks start on maximum speed (plastic kneader blade, grater disc) and some
tasks start on minimum speed (slicer disc and citrus press). The speed can be
manually adjusted at any time by pressing the + or - buttons (A8).

FUNCTIONS OF YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR

Usage and practical tips

MIXING/BLENDING/CHOPPING/
KNEADING - (DIAGRAM 2)

Accessories used

• Bowl assembly (B), spindle (C) and
blades (D):

• Metal blade (D1) for mixing or chopping.

• Plastic kneading blade (D2) for kneading
or blending, pastry and cake making

Fitting the Bowl

Press the release button (A4) to open
the Liquidiser drive cover (A1).

• Fit the bowl (B3) on the Bowl
accessory drive (A3).

• Fit the spindle (C) on to the
bowl drive (B3a).

• Slide the metal blade (D1) or the plastic
kneading blade (D2) onto the spindle
(C), pushing it down to the bottom of
the bowl.

• Put the ingredients in the bowl.

• Fit the lid (B2) on the bowl.

• Close the Liquidiser drive cover (A1).
You should hear an audible click.

Note: If the lid and handle are not
correctly fitted on to the bowl, the
appliance will not start.

To unlock the blades (D) from the
spindle (C):

• Place the bowl assembly on a stable
flat worktop.

• Carefully lift the blade (D) off the
spindle (C).

You can blend up to 1 litre of soup or
stewed fruit in 20 sec.

Chopping

• For better control over the chopping,
use the “pulse” position (A9).

• In 15 to 30 sec., you can chop up to
600g of food:

• hard produce: cheese, dried fruits, certain
vegetables (carrots, celery...).

• soft produce: certain vegetables (onions,
spinach...).

• raw or cooked meat (boned with gristle
removed and diced).

• raw or cooked fish...

Kneading/Mixing

• Depending on the blade used, press the
“metal blade” or “plastic blade” symbol on
the speed selector (A5).

• When kneading, stop the appliance as soon
as the pastry/dough starts to form a ball.

You can:

• knead up to 1.2 kg of pastry/dough (biscuit,
shortcrust, and bread) in approximately 60 sec.

• mix up to 1 litre of pancake, waffle batter,
etc. in 1min to 1

Cake Making

• When making cakes with “soft tub”
margarine use it straight from the
refrigerator. To avoid over processing the
ingredients use the “pulse button” (A9) as
the mixing times are very short, only
about 20 seconds.

• If using butter or block margarine, it should
be left at room temperature to soften and
cut it into 2cm pieces. Use the “plastic
kneader” setting on speed selector (A5)
when mixing for up to about 40 seconds.

• Sponge type cakes are best made by the
‘all in one method’. Using the spatula,
scrape down any unmixed ingredients into
the centre of the bowl and process for 5
seconds.

• When adding ingredients such as dried fruit,
nuts and cherries use the “pulse button”
(A9) to avoid the ingredients being chopped
up into small pieces.

You can:

• Mix up to 1.5 kg of light cake mixture in
about 20 - 40 seconds.
