hints
l
Cut food up before placing into the bowl. Meat,
bread, vegetables and other foods of a similar texture
should be cut into cubes approximately 2cm/3⁄4 in.
Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added
down the feed tube whilst the machine is operating.
l
Herbs are best chopped when clean and dry.
l
Don’t blend liquid ingredients as they may leak from
around the lid. A blender is available for this purpose.
However, when puréeing soups etc., drain solids,
blend and then return to the liquid.
l
Take care not to over process when using the knife
blade.
l
Don’t use the knife blade to mix heavy loads such as
bread dough otherwise you may damage the mixer.
Use the dough hook in the mixing bowl to make
bread and the beater in the bowl to make cakes and
pastry.
l
Don’t use the knife blade to chop ice cubes or other
hard foods, such as spices, they may damage the
attachment.
l
If adding almond essence or flavouring to mixtures
avoid contact with the plastic as this may result in
permanent marking.
