(4)
as described in section

fit into the feed tube.
•
Plug in the appliance.
•
To start processing the food, you may
press either the on/off switch

to press them down evenly. Never use
your fingers. For model ROB-1100 I, take
out the double pusher
(1)
if you wish to
add liquids or process small amounts of
food such as a carrot or a stick of celery.
6. STORAGE
Place the food processor bowl, shaft,
shredding blade (model ROB-1100 I only),
adjustable slicing disc and lid as described
in the steps given in section “4. Assembly”.
The food processor is designed for all the
accessories to be stored inside the unit
itself. Pull the accessory compartment
(12)
out of the food processor base. Follow
the steps shown in Figure 11 for model
ROB-900 P, and the steps shown in Figure
12 for model ROB-1100 I. Then insert the
compartment in the food processor base.
The power cord can be stored in the cord
compartment
(13)
on the rear of the motor
base, by pushing it into the compartment
(fig. 10)
.
• JULIENNE DISC (15) (mod. ROB-
1100 I)
Fit the julienne disc
(15)
onto the
shaft and press it firmly into place
(fig. 6)
. This disc is ideal for evenly
shredding food, for salads for
example.
• EMULSIFYING DISC (18)
Fit the emulsifying disc
(18)
onto the
shaft
(fig. 8)
. This disc is for whipping
egg whites or for making creams and
sauces.
6.
Fit the lid (4) onto the bowl. Observe the
arrow
▼
on the left of the lid support.
When you fit the lid onto the bowl, this
arrow must be lined up with the arrow
on the bowl handle
▲
. To lock it, turn
the lid clockwise (fig. 9).
NOTE:
If the
bowl and lid are not correctly fitted, the
food processor will not work.
•
If you have pressed the on/off switch
(10)
to start up the food processor, to
stop it you must either press the same
switch again, or press the button
(11)
.
•
Unplug the food processor.
•
Remove the shaft and the blade or disc
before emptying the bowl.
•
Empty the bowl with the aid of the
spatula supplied
(17)
.
•
Dismantle the food processor following
the steps described in point “4.
Assembly” in reverse order.
IMPORTANT:
the food processor has
a safety thermal switch-off device
incorporated, and it will switch off in case
of overload. If this happens, unplug the
appliance and leave it to cool down for a
few minutes.
7. PRACTICAL HINTS
•
If a recipe requires dry ingredients such as
flour, place them directly in the bowl before
starting up the food processor. Liquid
ingredients can be added while the food
processor is running, through the feed tube.
•
Meat should be cut up before
processing. It is recommendable for the
meat to be very cold (not frozen) before
processing, and to press the button at
2-second intervals.
