Features of your Café Series® 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.

1400 watt induction motor

The die-cast base houses a powerful 1400 watt motor. This motor is ideal for high load applications during processing, and provides a

greater starting strength whilst maintaining speed throughout. The Cafe Series® Food Processor motor is reliable, quiet, will provide a long life and is backed by a 10 year guarantee.

START/STOP button

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

Auto Pulse

The Auto Pulse function is a clever

and versatile feature providing short bursts of processing, for a set length of time. Creating bread or biscuit crumbs couldn’t be easier.

Pulse

The control panel includes a Pulse function for optimum cutting precision during processing.

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.

6

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.

Second processing bowl

The smaller processing bowl is ideal for small amounts of ingredients. At 400ml in volume, this bowl is perfect for chopping nuts, creating pesto or chopping herbs.

Cord storage facility

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