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, pâté, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.

Use the dough tool supplied 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 45 - 60 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

1Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2Push 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 cen tre of the lid.
6	Select auto.

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.

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 1.4 litre to 2 litres, prevents leaking and improves the chopping performance of the blade.

1Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2Fit the knife blade.

3Add ingredients to be processed.

4Fit the canopy over the top of the blade ensuring it sits on the ledge area and the slot ￿ aligns with the tab inside the bowl. Do not push down

on the canopy, hold by the centre grip.

5Fit the lid and switch on.

slicing/shredding discs

slicing discs - thick (4mm) , thin (2 mm)

Use the slicing discs for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, courgettes, beetroot and onions.

shredding discs - coarse , fine

Use the shredding discs for cheese, carrots, potatoes and food of a similar texture.

fine (Julienne style) chipper disc

Use to cut: potatoes for Julienne style French fries; firm ingredients for salads, garnishes, casseroles and stir fries (eg carrot, swede, courgette, cucumber).

safety

●Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has completely stopped.

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

to use the cutting discs

1 Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

●The midi bowl can be used with all the discs. Fit the midi bowl inside the main bowl - align the tabs with the groove on the side of the main bowl chimney and slide down. To remove lift out using the finger grips on the side

of the midi bowl.

2Holding by the centre grip ￿, place the disc onto the drive shaft.

3Fit the lid.

4Choose which size feed tube you want to use. The pusher contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or thin food items.

To use the small feed tube – first put the large pusher inside the feed tube. To use the wide feed tube – fit the small pusher into the wide pusher and turn clockwise to lock in place.

Do not fill the feed tube above the maximum level as the processor will not operate unless the wide feed tube pusher is fitted correctly.

5Put the food in the feed tube.

6Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put your fingers in the feed tube.

hints

●Use fresh ingredients

●Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.

●When using the chipper disc, place ingredients horizontally.

●When slicing or shredding: food placed upright ￿ comes out shorter than food placed horizontally ￿.

●There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

citrus press

Use the citrus press to squeeze the juice from citrus fruits (eg oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits).

acone

bsieve

to use the citrus press

1Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2Fit the sieve into the bowl - ensuring the sieve handle is locked into position directly over the bowl handle ￿.

3Place the cone over the drive shaft turning until it drops all the way down ￿.

4Cut the fruit in half. Then switch on and press the fruit onto the cone.

●The citrus press will not operate if the sieve is not locked correctly into the interlock.
