Food Preparation

This appliance is not suitable for chopping hard items such as ice

cubes or frozen produce.

Remove bones from meat, stones from fruit, etc. Cut the food

into small pieces (25mm, 1" for hard foods and meat.)

The maximum quantity of food you can process at any one

time should not exceed 700g for soft items and 600g for nuts

and other items.

Keep the liquid content of food to be processed to a

minimum as excess liquid can penetrate the motor.

Items for processing can be placed in the bowl before

attaching the lid or introduced via the funnel after assembly.

Items for slicing should be cut into pieces which can fit easily

into the feed tube.

Operation

Assemble the appliance.

Switch the selector to ‘0' (off).

Plug the unit into the mains supply.

Switch on at the mains.

The appliance has two speeds, 1(  ), -

low 2 (   ) - high and pulse mode (P).

Chopping and Blending

1. The metal blade can be used for chopping meat, fish

vegetables cheese etc. setting the speed to maximum.

2. For finer chopping increase the length of time you process.

3. For coarse chopping, move the selector to ‘P’ for a few

seconds and monitor the texture.

For pulse operation, move the selector to ‘P’ and hold it. This

processes food at very high speed so only use pulse mode in

very short repeated bursts.

Use the plastic blade to puree cooked root vegetables, make

mashed potato, mix bread dough, etc.

Refer to the table on the next page for advice on which speed

to use for best results.

It may be necessary with some foods to stop the unit, and re-

distribute the food before continuing. Switch the selector to

‘0' and unplug the appliance before removing the lid.

Slicing and Grating

Feed the food steadily into the appliance. DO NOT force the

food: allow the blade to do the work. Too much force will

overload the unit and may stall the motor.

If you are feeding in celery stalks for example, you may start

with the pusher out and then use the pusher to finish the

process. For larger slices, cut the food so that the pieces fit

horizontally into the funnel and then use the pusher to

complete the task.

Using the pusher

Press the pusher in gently but

firmly. Do not apply excessive

force especially when grating

or slicing food.

D o n ot r u n t he a p p li a n c e

continuously for more than 1.5

minutes. After extended use

allow the unit to cool for at least 3

minutes before the next use.

If your appliance suddenly stops:

Switch the selector to ‘0' (off). Check that the bowl and lid are

securely attached. If not, resecure the bowl/lid and

recommence operations.

If the appliance still will not start: Unplug the unit and wait

for15 minutes until the unit has completely cooled down.

Reconnect the power and resume using the appliance.

Never immerse the appliance base or power cord in water.
