OPERATION
Getting started
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 CHUTE FILL MAX graphic
to indicate the maximum volume of food that can
be placed in the chute for the pusher to activate
the safety locking catch.
Control buttons
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.
After Processing
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 the part by
carefully gripping the plastic hub in the centre.
DICING WITH THE DICING KIT
The dicing kit dices raw and cooked food into
cubes of the size of 12 x 12mm.
Always remember to place the geared spindle,
dicing grid and dicing disc into the food processor
before adding the food.
Do not dice more than 10 cups (2.4l) in your food
processor at a time. Exceeding this capacity could
lead to the product jamming in the disc. It will
also make the cleaning process of the dicing grid
challenging.
Clean dicing grid each time after dicing 10 cups.
Vegetables and fruits
The dicing kit can process raw and cooked
vegetables and also fruits. To improve dicing results
for harder vegetables like carrots and pumpkin,
par-cooking is recommended. Only par-cook
vegetables that need to be cooked afterwards.
For best results when dicing with raw, hard
vegetables feed carrots length-ways through the
small feed chute, and feed pumpkin through the
medium feed chute. Feeding this produce through
the large feed chute may lead to jamming of the
disc.
DO NOT DICE SWEET POTATO
(Yam/Kumara).
Due to its dry, fibrous texture dicing sweet potato
is not recommended with the Dicing Kit. Sweet
Potato places high load on the Dicing Kit which
causes high friction and potential damage to the
Bowl Lid.
Use the START / PAUSE button for control when
dicing food.
PEELING WITH THE PEELER
Potato peeling made easy
Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes.
The Sage peeler will peel potatoes in batches
of 6–7, depending on the size. Peeling is very fast,
and may finish quicker than expected. Keep your
eye on progress, and it should be done in
25–30 seconds.
Size matters
The best size potatoes to use are around
70mm x 70mm, which is about the size of this
illustration. Choose potatoes that are round,
rather than elongated.
Use whole potatoes, as cutting potatoes into half
or quarters creates square edges that won’t peel
efficiently. Using rounder potatoes will reduce the
amount of waste.
Loading the potatoes
Position 6–7 potatoes evenly on top of the peeler.
Potatoes should have enough room to freely roll
and rumble. If potatoes are too tightly packed,
the peeling won’t be as effective. Keep in mind
that the peeling works best with a complete batch,
and peeling just a couple of potatoes won’t be as
efficient. Lock lid in place before starting, and never
insert potatoes through the chute.
