to use your food processor

1Fit the detachable shaft onto the power unit .

2Then fit the bowl. Place the handle towards the back and tur n clockwise until it locks .

3Fit an attachment over the drive shaft.

●Always fit the bowl and attachment onto the machine before adding ingredients.

4Fit the lid - ensuring the top of the drive shaft locates into the centre of the lid.

●Do not use the lid to operate the processor, always use the on/off control.

5 Switch on and select a speed.

●The processor won’t work if the bowl and lid are fitted incorrectly.

●Use the pulse (P) for short bursts. The pulse will operate for as long as the control is held in position.

6Reverse the above procedure to remove the lid, attachments and bowl.

●Always switch off before removing the lid. important

●Your processor is not suitable for crushing or grinding coffee beans, or converting granulated sugar to caster sugar.

●When adding almond essence or flavouring to mixtures avoid contact with the plastic as this may result in permanent marking.

to use your liquidiser

1Fit the sealing ring into the blade unit - ensuring the seal is located correctly. Leaking will occur if the seal is damaged or not fitted correctly.

2Screw the jug onto the blade unit.

3Put your ingredients into the jug.

4Put the filler cap in the lid, then turn.

5Turn the lid in a clockwise direction to lock onto the jug.

6Place the liquidiser onto the power unit and turn to lock .

7Select a speed or use the pulse control.

●Allow all liquids to cool to room temperature before placing them in the liquidiser.

hints

●When making mayonnaise, putall the ingredients, except the oil into the liquidiser. Thenwith the machine running, pour the oil into the filler cap and let it run through.

●Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If it’s difficult to process, add more liquid.

●When crushing ice use the pulse in short bursts.

●To ensure the long life of your liquidiser, never run it for longer than 60 seconds. Switch off as soon as you’ve got the right consistency.

●Don’t process spices - they may damage the plastic.

●The machine won’t work if the liquidiser is fitted incorrectly.

●Don’t put dry ingredients into the liquidiser before switching on. If necessary, cut them into pieces; remove the filler cap; then with the machine running, drop them through one by one.

●Don’t use the liquidiser as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after use.

●Never blend more than 11⁄2 litres (2pts 12floz) - less for frothy liquids like milkshakes.

using the attachments

knife blade/ dough tool

The knife blade is the most versatile of all
the attachments. The length of the
processing time will determine the texture
achieved. For coarser textures use the
pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry
making, chopping raw and cooked meat,
vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing
soups and to also make crumbs from
biscuits and bread. It can also be used for
yeasted dough mixes if the dough tool is
not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.

hints

knife blade

●Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/3⁄4in before processing.

●Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the machine is running.

●When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/3⁄4in.cubes.

●Take care not to over-process. dough tool

●Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 - 90 secs.

●Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

twin beater geared whisk

Use for light mixtures only eg egg whites, cream, evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage it.

using the whisk

1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit. 2 Push each beater securely into the drive

head .

3Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft.

4Add the ingredients.

5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid.

6 Switch on.

important

●The whisk is not suitable for making one- stage cakes or creaming fat and sugar as these mixes will damage it. Always use the knife blade for cake making.

hints

●Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.

●Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease before whisking.
