Features of your Café Series® Food Processor

Processing cover

The processing cover or lid of bowl provides a safety feature to the appliance. The appliance will not operate unless the bowl, cover and large feed pusher are correctly positioned and locked into place.

1400 watt induction motor

The die-cast base houses a powerful 1400 watt motor. This motor is ideal for high load applications during processing, and provides a greater starting strength whilst maintaining speed throughout. The Cafe Series® Food Processor motor is reliable, quiet, will provide a long life and is backed by a 10 year guarantee.

START/STOP button

For easy use the START/STOP button starts and stops the operation of the food processor.

Auto Pulse

The Auto Pulse function is a clever and versatile feature providing short bursts of processing, for a set length of time. Creating bread or biscuit crumbs couldn't be easier.

Pulse

The control panel includes a Pulse function for optimum cutting precision during processing.

Storage drawer

The unique drawer design enables attachments to be stored conveniently, and safely, within the appliance when not in use.

Non-slip feet

Keeps the food processor secure on the bench top during use.

Food Pushers

The food pushers assist in guiding the food through the chute to ensure ingredients hit the blade vertically for best processing results. Three food pushers are included, depending on the size of the chute being used and the size of foods. For thinner foods, use the smaller internal pusher for consistent even slicing. This pusher also doubles as a measuring cup.

Wide Chute

At 14cm's wide, the extra wide chute eliminates the need to cut most ingredients, to fit into the chute. Guide ingredients through the chute into the selected blades. Additional ingredients can be added during other processing tasks.

Chute Safety Feature

The wide chute pusher provides a safety interlock feature to the appliance. The motor will not operate unless the bowl and lid are correctly locked in position, and the large feed pusher is inserted.

Spindle

Drives all the food processing attachments. The spindle must be in place to operate the food processor.

Processing bowl with handle

Large 2 litre capacity processing bowl. The handle of the processing bowl includes a patent-pending robust stainless steel interlock that prevents food catching and building up, ensuring easy cleaning.

Second processing bowl

The smaller processing bowl is ideal for small amounts of ingredients. At 400ml in volume, this bowl is perfect for chopping nuts, creating pesto or chopping herbs.

Cord storage facility

For added convenience the unused cord length can easily be pushed into the base of the processor for storage.

Attachments for your Café Series® Food Processor

Handy hints for Processing

Chopping

For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform.

More consistent processing results are achieved if the container is not overloaded.

Mincing

Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square.

Vegetables

When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut large vegetables into eighths.

Mixing

The quantities that can be processed within the Processing bowl will vary with the density of the mixture.

For best results with cheese

Softer cheeses such as Cheddar or Swiss should be well chilled before processing. For best results with harder cheeses such as Parmesan or Romano, use the shaving disc, with the cheese at room temperature.

Note: When grating parmesan cheese do not apply a lot of pressure to the food pusher.

Soups

When preparing soups, always allow ingredients to cool to room temperature, before processing.

Adding Ingredients

When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them directly into the processing bowl before processing. There is no need to sift ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the feed tube in the processor cover.

Note: When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula provided.

Using the Feed Tube

The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the way in which the food is packed into the feed tube.

When slicing, shredding, shaving or grating

Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the feed tube. Pack the feed tube and, while holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. The more firmly you push, the thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use excessive force or you may damage the food processor.

Note: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the food pusher.

For best results when slicing

The feed tube should always be packed firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food pusher and the blade.

Preparing longer slices

Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube, see figure 16.

Preparing shorter slices

Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 17.

Fig 17

Food Pusher

Use the food pushers to help guide food through the chute for even, consistent processing. Use the smaller food pushers for smaller, thinner foods for best results.

Note: Always wait for the universal 's' blade or any attachments to stop moving completely before removing the processing cover.

Warning: Use extreme caution, as blades are sharp. Always handle the universal 's' blade by its central plastic section.

Warning: The variable slicing blade can be used in the large processing bowl only. Do Not use the variable slicing blade in the small bowl.

Care and cleaning

When you have finished processing, unplug the Café Series® Food Processor from the power outlet.

All accessories and processor tools can be washed in hot soapy water except for the processor body. Clean the processor body by wiping with a damp cloth.

Warning: Care must be taken when handling the metal blades as these items are extremely sharp.

Note: Always unplug the Café Series® Food Processor before cleaning.

Dishwasher Use

All plastic components deteriorate through the prolonged use of a dishwasher for cleaning.

We do not recommend to place any parts of the food processor in the dishwasher.

If using the dishwasher, place parts only on the top rack of your dishwasher. Do not place any parts in the bottom racks. This may cause plastic parts to distort due to the heating element in the dishwasher.
