to use the food processor
1Fit the bowl onto the processor base - handle towards the back - lower and turn clockwise until it locks firmly into place .
2Add an attachment over the food processor drive.
●Always fit the bowl and attachment onto the machine before adding ingredients.
3 Fit the lid onto the bowl - feed tube towards the back of the machine . Turn
clockwise until the arrow on the lid aligns with the raised line on the body of the processor .
●Failure to correctly fit the lid will prevent your food processor from operating.
4Switch on by moving the on/off lever to ‘I’ and process until the desired consistency is achieved OR use the pulse button to operate the tool fitted to the bowl in a start/stop action. The pulse button operates the motor and keeps it running for as long as the button is held down. This will allow you to control the texture of various foods eg when processing meat.
5Reverse the above procedure to remove the bowl, lid and attachments.
●The lid can only be removed when the on/off switch is in the ‘0’ position.

using the attachments
knife blade
This blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The texture you get is determined by the length of processing time. For coarser textures use the ‘pulse’ feature checking the consistency regularly.
what the knife blade can do.
Raw meat
Make ‘mince’ by trimming raw meat of any excess fat and cutting into 2cm/3⁄4in cubes, place into the bowl and operate for approximately 10 seconds or until the desired texture is achieved. The longer you run the machine the smoother the texture will be.
Cooked meat
Follow the method for raw meat but process for a shorter time.
Vegetables
Cut the vegetables into pieces approximately 2.5cm/1in in size. Process foods having a similar texture together eg harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes or softer ones like mushrooms, tomatoes or cooked vegetables.
Biscuit and breadcrumbs
Drop pieces down the feed tube whilst the machine is operating.
Shortcrust pastry and scones
Put the flour into the bowl. Use fat straight from the refrigerator and cut into 2cm/3⁄4in cubes. Process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs but take care not to overprocess. Leave the machine running and add the liquid down the feed tube. Process until one or two balls of pastry are formed. Chill before use.
