Functions
OPERATION
Assembly
The food processor will only operate when
the processing bowl, lid and large pusher are
correctly assembled. This engages the safety
interlock, and allows the motor to run.
The chute has a MAX CHUTE FILL graphic
to indicate the maximum volume of food
that can be placed in the chute for the
pusher to activate the safety locking catch.
After processing, wait until the blades/discs
have stopped moving before unlocking the
lid. To ensure safe handling, turn off at the
POWER button and unplug at the power
outlet before handling the blades. When
removing blades/discs, lift by carefully grip
the plastic hub in the centre.
Control buttons
The POWER button illuminates red when
the machine is connected to power and is
ready to run.
The START button allows the motor to run
continuously until pressed again. If the lid,
bowl or large pusher are removed while the
motor is running, the button will flash. The
motor will resume running when the bowl,
lid and large pusher are assembled and the
safety interlock is engaged, the button light
will be solid (no longer flashing).
The momentary PULSE button is ideal for
processing foods that need sudden bursts
of power. It also encourages ingredients to
move around the bowl. PULSE is also best
when processing foods that only require
processing for a short period of time.
Use a combination of the START and
PULSE buttons for control when processing
food.
Timer
If the timer isn’t set, the food processor
timer counts up in seconds. When using
the timer this way, the processor will stop
after 10 minutes (9:59), or you can cancel
it manually.
The alternative to running in count-up mode
is to use the arrow buttons to set the timer
before starting.
Overload protection system
The food processor has an overload
protection system to prevent damage to
the motor.
If activated, the food processor will go into
STANDBY mode, and the buttons will flash.
Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, you will be able to use the food
processor as usual again.
Note that some stiff mixtures (such as bread
dough) may cause the blade to rotate more
slowly than normal. If this happens, do not
process for more than 1 minute.
If the blades or discs jam with food while
processing, immediately unplug from the
power outlet before clearing the wedged
food. If this happens more than once, the
bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in
smaller batches.
