9.
To switch off the food processor, turn the speed control to OFF. Never try to stop it by opening the
lid or removing the bowl. The appliance will be damaged and may cause injury if the safety
interlock is subjected to excessive force.
10.
Handle the stainless steel blades and discs with extreme care; they are very sharp. Never put your
hands or any utensils inside the feed tube or bowl when the food processor is plugged in. Always
remove the blade or disc before emptying the bowl.
11.
Always use the food pusher provided to guide ingredients down the feed tube, never your fingers,
utensils, cutlery etc. If food gets stuck, switch off and unplug the appliance before dislodging it.
12.
Take care not to overload the food processor. Ingredients should be able to move freely inside the
bowl; process large quantities in smaller batches.
13.
Let hot ingredients cool to room temperature before processing.
14.
Using parts not supplied by the manufacturer may lead to electric shock, fire or injury, and should
be avoided.
15.
The food processor is not intended for use by children or infirm people unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure they can use it safely. Children should be
supervised to ensure they do not play with the food processor. It must not be left unattended
during use.
16.
Store the food processor and accessories well out of the reach of children.
17.
Do not use the food processor if the power cord or plug show any signs of damage, or if the
appliance is dropped, damaged or working incorrectly. Call the helpline on 015394 88100 to
arrange a repair by an authorised repairer, or a replacement. Never try to repair the food processor
yourself as this may cause electric shock.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack the food processor and remove all packaging. Remove and discard the plastic blade
covers. Take great care when handling the stainless steel blades and discs; they are extremely sharp.
Always hold the blades by the finger grip at the top, well away from the sharp edges, when handling
and cleaning. Wipe the power unit with a dry cloth. Do not immerse in water. Store any excess cord
beneath the power unit.
All other parts can be washed in warm, soapy water, or in the dishwasher. Protect your fingers by using
a washing-up brush when cleaning the blades and discs. Rinse well, then dry with care.
USING YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR
This food processor accomplishes time-consuming tasks in moments. It will chop meat, fish, vegetables,
breadcrumbs and herbs; mix pastry, dough, cakes, batter and mayonnaise; puree soup; crush ice; grate
cheese, vegetables, fruit and chocolate; cut julienne strips; and slice fruit and veg. There is also a mini
chopping bowl and blade for accomplishing smaller tasks.
MAXIMUM CAPACITIES
Shortcrust pastry flour weight – 800g
Chopping meat – 1kg (mini bowl 300g)
Liquid – 2 litres
Processing speed is easily adjusted at the turn of a dial. Alternatively, choose one of the three pre-set
programmes for specific tasks: PULSE, to give an instant burst of extra power, or to crush ice; MIXING;
and CHOPPING.
Thanks to intelligent speed control, the food processor automatically adjusts its speed to suit the task
in hand. It does this by processing at maximum speed initially, then gradually decreasing speed as the
ingredients are processed. This helps to reduce noise and save energy in the kitchen.
The food processor has a safety interlock system for added peace of mind. The machine cannot be
switched on unless all parts, including the bowl and lid, have been correctly fitted.
The food processor comes with a range of accessories that fit inside the bowl. Please follow these
simple steps each time you use the appliance.
1.
Place the food processor on a level, sturdy and dry surface. Make sure it is switched off and
unplugged, with the speed selector turned to OFF.
2.
Place the bowl on the power unit, with the handle to the right. Turn the bowl clockwise until it locks
into place. The arrow symbol on the bowl should be aligned with the padlock symbol on the power
unit.
3.
Fit the drive shaft into the bowl.
4.
Select an accessory and place inside the bowl, on the drive shaft. For instructions on each
accessory, see overleaf.
5.
Place the lid on the bowl, with the feed tube slightly to the right of the handle. Turn the lid
clockwise until it locks into place; the line on the lid should be aligned with the line on top of the
bowl handle.
PLEASE NOTE: for your safety, the food processor will not work unless all parts, including the bowl and
lid, are correctly fitted.
6.
Add ingredients to the bowl or feed tube, taking note of the maximum recommended capacities.
Put the food pusher into the feed tube. Plug the food processor into a mains socket. Turn the speed
selector to ON/Program. The speed selector and programme buttons will light up.
