hints

●When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil into the liquidiser. Then with 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, add 15mls (1tbsp) water to 6 ice cubes. Use the pulse control. important

●Allow hot liquids to cool before blending in the liquidiser – if you haven’t fitted the lid securely and it comes off, you could get splashed.

●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

see chart above for speed of each attachment.

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.

1	Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2	Push each beater securely into the drive head b .
3	Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the
	drive shaft.
4	Add the ingredients.

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

6Switch on.

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.

maxi-blend canopy

When blending liquids, use the maxi-blend canopy with the knife blade. It allows you to increase the liquid processing capacity from 1 litre to 1.5 litres, prevents leaking and improves the chopping performance of the blade.

●Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has

completely stopped. 23

●Handle the cutting discs with care - they are extremely sharp
