to use the food processor
1 Fit the bowl onto the processor base - handle towards the back - lower and
turn clockwise until it locks firmly into place .
2 Add 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.
4 Switch on by moving the on/off/pulse lever to ‘I’ and process until the desired
consistency is achieved OR move the lever to the pulse ‘P’ position to operate
the tool fitted to the bowl in a start/stop action. The pulse feature operates the
motor and keeps it running for as long as it is held in position. This will allow you
to control the texture of various foods eg when processing meat.

attachments.
