●Do not use the lid to operate the processor, always use the on/off speed control.
5 Switch on and select a speed.
●The processor won’t work if the bowl and lid are fitted incorrectly.
●Use the pulse control for short bursts. The pulse will operate as long as the control is held in position.

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 use the pulse in short bursts. important
●Allow all liquids to cool to room temperature before placing them in the liquidiser.
●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 1.2 litres - less for frothy liquids like milkshakes.

see chart for speed of each attachment.
knife blade
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.
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
●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 secs.
