4. MACHINE CONTROLS
High and Low Control Buttons
• The ‘HIGH’ or ‘LOW’ controls are buttons that allow the machine to run until ‘OFF’ is selected.
• Properly assemble the machine.
• Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through the feed tube or directly into the bowl. Ensure the
work bowl cover is correctly fi tted.
• Press the ‘HIGH’ or ‘LOW’ button. The blue LED light will illuminate and the motor will start.
• Press the ‘OFF’ button when fi nished.
WARNING: The unit has a built in safety mechanism which will automatically turn off the motor if
the work bowl cover is removed. If the ‘OFF’ button hasn’t been pressed, when the work bowl cover
is replaced, the motor will start up automatically. Simply press the ‘OFF’ button to stop the motor.
Pulse Button
The ‘PULSE’ control is a button that allows the machine to run only while it is being pressed. This
capability provides more accurate control of the duration and frequency of processing. Unless
otherwise specifi ed, a ‘PULSE’ should be about one second.
With the machine properly assembled, ingredients in the work bowl and the work bowl cover
correctly fi tted, press the ‘PULSE’ button repeatedly as needed. The blue LED High light will illuminate
upon activation. As you get used to using the processor you will get to know which setting works
best for the food you are using.
5. MACHINE FUNCTIONS
A. Chopping
• You can use your machine for a wide range of chopping tasks, including chopping meats, fi sh, fruits,
vegetables, cheeses and nuts.
• Set up your chosen bowl and the appropriate mixing/chopping blade. For raw ingredients: peel,
core and/or remove seeds and pips. For best results ensure that the pieces of food you add to the
work bowl are approximately the same size, i.e. 2.5cm cubed.
• Add ingredients and pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the fi nest chop, either hold the
‘PULSE’ down or press ‘HIGH’ or ‘LOW’ to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to
achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
• High speed is recommended for most chopping.
WARNING! Never try to process ingredients that are too hard to cut with a knife. You may damage
the blade or the appliance.
B. Mixing
• You can produce dips, dressings, sauces, cake mixture, bread dough, pastry and crumble toppings.
• Set up your chosen bowl and the appropriate mixing/chopping blade.
• Add ingredients to the selected work bowl and use the ‘PULSE’ function or ‘LOW’ speed
(recommended for making doughs and batters).
• Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
• Liquids can be added through the feed tube while the machine is running.
