Multifunction section

Chopping

For a uniform result pieces of size as equal as possible should be processed. The food should be cut or broken up before processing into pieces of equal size.

Ensure that the container is not too full.

Minced meat

Cut the meat into cubes of approx. 2 cm before processing.

Vegetables

Peel and quarter vegetables such as onions for processing.

Mixing

The amount for processing varies according to the viscosity of the foods processed.

Adding ingredients

Place dry ingredients such as flour in the all-purpose bowl before processing. The ingredients do not have to be mixed before processing. Liquid ingredients can be added through the filling inlet while processing.

Liquid ingredients can be added through the filling inlet while processing.

Note: When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients it may be necessary to switch off the appliance occasionally, to open the cover of the all-purpose bowl and scrape the mixture from the wall of the bowl with the scraper.

Working with the insert holder

Correct supply of the foods through the filling inlet is very important.

Cut the prepared foods a little smaller if necessary, so that they pass easily through the filling inlet.

Add the items for filling as vertically as possible simultaneously in the filling inlet.

Compress the items evenly with the stopper. The degree of pressure influences the concentration of the cut food.

！

Use only the stopper for further additions. Never reach in the filling inlet with the fingers!

The appliance can be damaged by pressing too hard with the stopper!

i

There is always a little unprocessed food remaining between the stopper and the insert holder.

Grating cheese

Cool soft cheese such as Emmental or mozzarella well before grating.

Process hard cheese such as Parmesan at room temperature.
