BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
SLICING, SHREDDING AND
GRATING WITH THE DISCS
Slicing with the Adjustable Slicing Disc
NOTE
Use adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc
Spindle.
The adjustable slicer disc slices raw fruit
and vegetables to a consistent thickness,
with 24 settings from fi ne (0.33mm) to thick
(8.0mm).
For many large processing tasks, the
adjustable slicing disc will cut the
processing time needed to achieve the
desired results. The result depends on the
type of food and how the food is positioned
into the feed chute.
For smaller foods, the small feed chute
provides greater control for adjustable slicing.
To adjust slicing height, hold the adjustable
slicing disc outer edge with one hand, turn
the adjustment dial on the underside of the
disc to set the height. An arrow graphic
indicates the height to which the blade is
set. Place the adjustable slicer on the disc
spindle in the processing bowl. Close the
lid and insert the large pusher to operate.
NOTE
There may be slight variation in slice
thickness depending on the food
being processed and force applied
with the feed chute pusher.
Do not overfi ll the feed chute before slicing.
The pusher will not activate the unit if the
chute is overfi lled. A MAX level graphic
indicates the maximum fi ll level.
WARNING
Adjustable Slicing Disc blade is sharp,
keep hands away from the blade.
NOTE
Placing items to the far left in the
large feed chute provides stability and
helps to make more accurate slices.
Shredding and Grating with the
Reversible Shredding Disc
NOTE
Use adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc
Spindle.
Both thick and thin grating can be achieved
by using the coarse/fi ne shredding disc. Use
one side of the disc for coarse shredding and
the other side for fi ne shredding. Carefully
turn over the disc so that the process
required is facing upwards.
BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
KNEADING WITH THE
DOUGH BLADE
The edges of the plastic blade
provide a softer action for combining
dough ingredients.
Pastry dough
Insert the dough blade into the processing
bowl. Place fl our and cubed, chilled butter
into the processing bowl. Do not process a
mixture with more than 6 cups/ 700g fl our.
Process using the PULSE button until the
butter is absorbed into fl our. While motor
is running, quickly add liquid through the
small feed chute, processing until mixture
forms a ball of dough.
Bread dough
Insert the dough blade into the processing
bowl. Use instant active dry yeast and
include with the dry ingredients in the
processing bowl. Do not process a mixture
with more than 5 cups/700g fl our. Add
softened, cubed butter and process using
the START/PAUSE button until the butter is
absorbed into the fl our. If using oil, with the
motor running, add the oil through the small
feed chute and process until the mixture
forms a soft, elastic ball of dough. Do not
over process.
Transfer the dough to a lightly fl oured
surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if
necessary until soft and pliable. Place dough
into large, greased mixing bowl and stand
covered in a warm place until doubled in
size. Turn the dough onto a lightly fl oured
surface and knead again until smooth and
elastic. Shape the dough, allow to rise in a
warm area then bake in a hot oven.
NOTE
The dough blade should be used
for yeast doughs and doughs that
require kneading.
MINI-BOWL FUNCTION
The mini processing bowl can be positioned
inside the main processing bowl and is
used for processing small food quantities.
A mini processing blade is provided which
fi ts inside the mini bowl and can be used for
chopping, mixing, whipping and blending a
variety of foods.
