Features of your Food Processor

Processing cover

The processing cover or lid of bowl provides a safety feature to the appliance. The appliance will not operate unless the bowl, cover and large feed pusher are correctly positioned and locked into place.

1,100 watt induction motor

The heavy base houses a powerful 1,100 watt motor. This motor is ideal for high load applications during processing, and provides a

greater starting strength whilst maintaining speed throughout.

START/STOP button

For easy use the START/STOP button starts and stops the operation of the food processor.

Pulse

The control panel includes a Pulse function.

Storage drawer

The unique drawer design enables attachments to be stored conveniently, and safely, within the appliance when not in use.

Non-slip feet

Keeps the food processor secure on the bench top during use.

4

Food Pushers

The food pushers assist in guiding the food through the chute to ensure ingredients hit the blade vertically for best processing results. Three food pushers are included, depending on the size of the chute being used and the size of foods. For thinner foods, use the smaller internal pusher for consistent even slicing. This pusher also doubles as a measuring cup.

Wide Chute

At 14cm’s wide, the extra wide chute eliminates the need to cut most ingredients, to fit into the chute. Guide ingredients through the chute into the selected blades. Additional ingredients can be added during other processing tasks.

Chute Safety Feature

The wide chute pusher provides a safety interlock feature to the appliance. The motor will not operate unless the bowl and lid are correctly locked in position, and the large feed pusher is inserted.

Spindle

Drives all the food processing attachments. The spindle must be in place to operate the food processor.

Processing bowl with handle

Large 2 litre capacity processing bowl.

The handle of the processing bowl includes a patent-pending robust stainless steel interlock that prevents food catching and building up, ensuring easy cleaning.

Cord storage facility

For added convenience the unused cord length can easily be pushed into the base of the processor for storage.

Attachments for your Food Processor

1. Universal 's' blade

Stainless steel smooth edged processing blade is designed for cutting, kneading, whisking and emulsifying.

4. Reversible shredding disc - fine and coarse

Ideal control, the reversible stainless steel shredding blades allow for the choice of fine or coarse results.

2. Variable slicing blade

The variable stainless steel slicing blade allows foods to be sliced to a variety of thicknesses, up to 7mm.

5. Reversible grating and shaving disc

Unique to processing is the shaving blade. It does lovely thin flakes, great for parmesan and sweet potato crisps. The alternate side is ideal for hard cheeses and chocolate.

3. Julienne disc

The stainless steel julienne blade is perfect for achieving consistent julienne cut food, perfect for salad, stir fry or garnishing.

Using your Food Processor

•Before using your food processor, familiarise yourself with all parts, remove all promotional and packaging materials. Use caution when handling blades, as blades are sharp.

•Wash the processing bowl, processing cover and all attachments in warm water using a mild detergent. Dry each part thoroughly before use.

•Before you assemble the food processor, ensure that the power cord is unplugged.

1.Place the motor base facing you on a dry, level surface.

2.Place the processing bowl onto the motor base, the bowl will only sit correctly on the base when the handle is positioned to the right, see figure 1.

3.Rotate the handle clockwise to lock, as indicated by the graphics on the left side of the motorbase, see figure 2.

Fig 2

4.Position the lid onto the processing bowl. You will notice a marking on the holding lip on the lid, when placing the lid onto the bowl this marking needs to align with the marking on the handle of the bowl. To lock, turn the lid clockwise, as indicated by the arrow, see figure 3.

Using your Food Processor continued

Important: If the processing bowl, processing cover and large pusher are not correctly assembled, the food processor will not operate. This is a safety feature.

Using your Food Processor

1.Plug the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and turn the power ‘ON’.

2.Using the START/STOP button on the control panel, press once to start processing.

The Pulse function remains on as long as the Pulse button is pressed down.

Further ingredients can be added whilst the appliance is running by pouring through the medium or small feed tube once the food pusher/s have been removed. Removing the large pusher will stop the motor running.

3.After you have completed processing, press the START/STOP button to stop processing.

Note: For maximum control, load the feed tube before turning on your food processor. Always use the food pusher for more evenly processed foods and never push with your fingers.

Important: The food processor is fitted with a safety thermal cut-out device and will shut off in the event of overload. If this occurs, switch the appliance off and it will automatically reset when cool.
