Hints and Tips

• For optimum performance when processing spices do not process more than 50g at a time.
• Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
• To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
• Do not process dried turmeric root in the mill as it is too hard and may damage the blades.
• Cut ginger and coconut into small pieces before processing.
• For best results the main bowl is recommended when chopping herbs.

Juice Extractor

(if supplied)

2. Place the pulp remover into the filter drum - ensuring the tabs locate with the slots in the bottom of the drum.
3. Fit the filter drum
4. Fit the attachment lid - turn clockwise until it locks. Your juicer will not operate if the bowl or lid are not fitted correctly into the interlock.
5. Place a suitable glass or jug under the juice outlet.
6. Cut the food to fit the feed tube.
7. Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put your fingers in the feed tube. Process fully before adding more.

• After adding the last piece, let the juicer run for a further 30 seconds to extract all the juice from the filter drum.

• If the juicer starts to vibrate, switch off and empty the pulp from the drum. The juicer vibrates if the pulp becomes unevenly distributed.
• Some very hard foods may make your juicer slow down or stop. If this happens switch off and unblock the filter.
• Switch off and clear the pulp collector regularly during use.

Hints and Tips

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem	Cause	Solution
The processor will not operate.	No Power. Bowl not fitted to power unit correctly. Bowl lid not locked on correctly.	Check processor is plugged in. Check bowl is located correctly and the handle is situated towards the right front hand corner. Check that the lid interlock is located correctly into the handle area. The processor will not work if the bowl and lid are fitted incorrectly. If none of the above check the fuse/circuit breaker in your home.
	Detachable drive shaft not fitted to power unit.	Fit the detachable drive shaft onto the power unit before fitting the bowl. The bowl tools and attachments will not operate unless the drive shaft is fitted.
Blender or mill will not operate	Blender or mill not locked on correctly. Blender or mill not assembled correctly.	Blender or mill will not operate if fitted incorrectly to the interlock. Check blade assembly is fully tightened into the goblet/jar
Processor stops during processing	Processor overloaded/ maximum capacities exceeded. Lid unlocked.	Check maximum capacities stated in the recommended usage chart. Check lid is locked correctly.
Blender or multi mill leaking from blade assembly base.	Seal missing Seal incorrectly fitted Seal damaged.	Check seal is fitted correctly and not damaged. To obtain a replacement seal see 'Service and customer care'.
Unit unstable/heavy vibrations and movement.	Sticky fruit/ingredients such as dates being processed. Speed selected too low.	For best results use 'Pulse' first to break down the ingredients and then continue processing on maximum speed.
Poor performance of tools/attachments	Refer to hints in relevant 'using the attachment' section. Check attachments are assembled correctly.
