• Smoothie recipes - never blend frozen ingredients that have formed a solid mass during freezing, break it up before adding to the goblet.
• 
  The skirt on the base of the goblet is fitted during manufacture and no attempt should be made to remove it.

HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS

To minimise the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid to prevent possible burns. The following precautions must be observed:

• 
  Blending very hot ingredients may result in hot liquid and steam being forced suddenly past the lid or filler cap bq.
• We recommend that hot ingredients are allowed to cool before blending.
• NEVER exceed 1200mls/5 cups capacity if processing hot liquids, such as soups (refer to the markings on the goblet).
• ALWAYS commence blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed. NEVER blend hot liquids by using the Pulse setting.
• Liquids which tend to foam such as milk, should be limited to a maximum capacity of 1000mls/4 cups.
• Take care when handling the blender as the goblet and its contents will be very hot.
• Take particular care when removing the lid. The lid is designed to be a tight fit to prevent leakage. If necessary protect your hands with a cloth or oven gloves when handling.
• Ensure the goblet is securely attached to the base and when removing from the appliance, guide the base and ensure it is removed together with the goblet.
• Ensure that the lid and filler cap are securely in place before every blending operation.
• Always ensure that the vents in the filler cap are clear before every blending operation .
• When fitting the lid to the goblet always ensure that the lid and goblet rim are clean and dry to ensure a good seal and prevent spillage.

Slicing/grating disc safety

• Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has completely stopped.
• Handle the cutting discs with care - they are extremely sharp.
• Do not overfill the bowl – do not exceed the maximum capacity level marked on the bowl.

Compact chopper/grinder safety

• Never fit the blade unit to your food processor without the jar fitted.
• Never unscrew the jar while the compact chopper/grinder is fitted to your appliance.
• Do not touch the sharp blades – Keep the blade unit away from children.
• Never remove the compact chopper/grinder until the blades have completely stopped.
• To ensure the long life of your compact chopper/grinder, do not run it continuously for longer than 60 seconds. Switch off as soon as you have got the right consistency.
• The appliance will not work if the compact chopper/grinder is incorrectly fitted.
• Do not process turmeric root in the compact chopper/grinder as it is too hard and may damage the blades.

Juice extractor safety

• Do not use the juice extractor if the filter is damaged.
• Only use the pusher supplied. Never put your fingers in the feed tube. Unplug before unblocking the feed tube.
• Before removing the lid, switch off and wait for the filter to stop.

Before plugging in

Using the Attachments

Refer to recommended speed chart for each attachment.

Knife blade

The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved.
For coarser textures use the pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pâté, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.

Hints

• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.
• Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running.
• When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/3/4in.cubes.
• Take care not to over-process.

Dough Tool

Use for yeasted dough mixes.

• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take approx. 4560 secs.
• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

Dual Whisk

Use for light mixtures only e.g. egg whites, cream, evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage it.

Using the whisk

1. Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
   
2. Push each beater securely into the drive head.
3. Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft.
4. Add the ingredients.
5. Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid.
6. Switch on.

• The whisk is not suitable for making all in one cake mixes as these mixes are too heavy and will damage it. Always use the knife blade.

Hints

• Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.
• Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease before whisking.
• Heavier ingredients such as flour and dried fruit should be folded in by hand.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity or processing time stated in the recommended speed chart.

Folding Tool

Use the folding tool to fold light ingredients into heavier mixtures for example meringues, mousses and fruit fools.

1. Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Push the paddle securely into the drive head.
3. Fit the folding tool by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft.
4. Add the ingredients.
5. Fit the lid – ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid.
6. Select low speed (speed 1 – 2).

To remove the beater

Detach the beater from the drive head by pressing the release button bk.

Hints

• Do not use Auto or high speed as a low speed is required to optimise the folding performance.
• For best results do not over whisk egg whites or cream – the folding tool will not be able to fold the mixture correctly if the whisked mix is too firm.
• Do not fold the mixture for longer than stated in the recommended speed chart as the air will be knocked out and the mix will be too loose.
• Any unmixed ingredients left on the paddle or sides of the bowl should be carefully folded in using the spatula.

Max Capacity Disc

When blending liquids, use the max capacity disc with the knife blade. It allows you to increase the liquid processing capacity from 1.4 litre to 2 litres, prevents leaking and improves the chopping performance of the blade.

1. Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Fit the knife blade.
3. Add ingredients to be processed.
4. Fit the capacity disc over the top of the blade ensuring it sits on the ledge inside the bowl bl. Do not push down on the capacity disc.
5. Fit the lid and switch on.

Slicing/Grating discs

Slicing discs - 4mm , 2mm
Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, courgette, beetroot and onions.

Grating discs - 4mm , 2mm
Use the grating side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.

   To use the small feed tube – first put the large pusher inside the feed tube.
   
   To use the wide feed tube – fit the small pusher into the wide pusher and turn clockwise to lock in place. Do not fill the feed tube above the maximum level as the processor will not operate unless the wide feed tube pusher is fitted correctly.
   
5. Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put your fingers in the feed tube.

Hints

• Use fresh ingredients
• Don't cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full.
  This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.
  Alternatively use the small feed tube.
• When using the Julienne disc, place ingredients horizontally.
• When slicing or grating: food placed upright bn comes out shorter than food placed horizontally bo.
• Food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontal.
• There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

Mini bowl and knife (if supplied)

Use the mini processor bowl to chop herbs and process small quantities of ingredients e.g. meat, onion, nuts, mayonnaise, vegetables, purées, sauces and baby food.

Do not overfill the bowl.

1. mini blade

• Do not process turmeric root in the compact chopper/grinder as it is too hard and may damage the blades.

Hints

• For optimum performance when processing spices we recommend that you do not process more than 100g at a time in the compact chopper/grinder.
• 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.
• Cut ginger up into small pieces before processing.
• For best results the mini bowl attachment is recommended when chopping herbs.

Citrus juicer (if supplied)
