Frequently Asked Questions - HB 0705 AB0 HOTPOINT

How to use the whisk provided with the food processor?

To use the whisk, attach it to the motor by turning clockwise until it locks. Place the food in the beaker, plug in the appliance, lower the whisk into the food, turn the adjustment knob to the desired speed and hold down the ON/OFF button. For maximum speed, use the TURBO button briefly.

How to clean the food processor?

Unplug the appliance before any cleaning. Wash the accessories (bowls, blades, whisk) with warm soapy water. Use a nylon bristle brush if necessary. Never immerse the motor in water; wipe it with a damp cloth. The blades are very sharp, handle with care.

Can I blend ice cubes with this food processor?

No, never introduce very hard foods such as hard chocolate, ice or frozen foods with the discs or blades, as this could dull them.

What is the maximum capacity of the beaker?

The exact maximum capacity is not specified. It is indicated that the preparation must not exceed the maximum capacity of the beaker. For optimal operation, respect a proportion of 2/3 food to 1/3 water.

How to attach the accessories to the motor?

To attach an accessory (whisk, beater, or motor on the bowl lid), turn the lower part of the motor or the shaft clockwise until it locks. For the bowl, align the lid fastenings with the notches and press.

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and that the ON/OFF button is correctly pressed. Ensure that the lid is properly locked. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service indicating the model (Mod.) and serial number (S/N) on the rating label.

How to use the slicing/shredding disc?

First place the non-slip base under the bowl, insert the shaft on the rod, then choose the disc (fine or coarse) and place it on the shaft. Attach the lid by aligning the arrows. Insert the motor on the lid and turn to lock. Place the food in the feed tube and push gently with the pusher while holding the ON/OFF button.

What is the maximum duration of use at high speed?

The maximum operating time at high speed is limited to 30 seconds to avoid motor overheating.

Can I use a container other than the supplied beaker?

Yes, you can replace the beaker with any other suitable kitchen container. Make sure the preparation does not exceed the maximum capacity of the container.

How to store the accessories after use?

Use the provided storage system: the shaft, whisk and motor can be stored on the bowl lid. Ensure that the sharp edges of the utensils do not scratch the bowl walls during storage.

5. Remove the knife blade first before pouring out the mixture.

USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT (D)

To use the chopping bowl (only on some models):

1. First of all make sure the non-slip ring is fixed to the bottom of the bowl.
2. Fit the knife blade on the pin in the bowl - always fit the knife blade before adding the ingredients.
3. Cut the food into small pieces and put them into the bowl.

A small amount of water can facilitate the smooth running of the appliance.

1. Align the two fasteners of the bowl lid with the two clip positions of the bowl and push down to lock them in place. Be sure to align the arrow on the lid and the arrow on the bowl.

The fasteners must be locked in the two clip positions, otherwise during operating the lid may rotate as the motor rotates.

Make sure the food pusher is properly fitted into its housing on the cover.

1. Assemble the motor unit into the bowl lid and turn it clockwise to lock them.
2. Plug the appliance into the power outlet.

2. Then insert the disc shaft into the pin on the bottom of the bowl, select the desired shredding/slicing disc (fine or coarse) and assemble the shredding /slicing disc onto the shaft with the appropriate side upwards (one side is for shredding, the other side is for slicing).

Extreme caution must be taken when handling discs as they are very sharp.

Pull the two fasteners towards the outside to fit the lid onto the bowl, making sure the lid arrow is aligned with the bowl arrow.

The fasteners must be locked in the two clip positions, otherwise during operating the bowl lid may rotate as the motor rotates.

1. Insert the bottom part of the motor unit into the opening on the bowl lid, and turn it clockwise to lock.
2. Plug the appliance into the power outlet.
3. Put the food inside the feeding tube and push it slowly with the food pusher. Do not push heavily.

Never introduce very hard foods (e.g. hard chocolate), ice or frozen foods when using shredding or slicing attachments.

TIPS

• Use the shredding side for carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar texture.
- Use the slicing side for food items such as carrots, potatoes, cabbages, cucumbers, courgettes and onions.
• Use fresh ingredients.
- Do not cut food too small. Fill the feed tube uniformly. This prevents the food from pouring out during processing.

STORAGE SYSTEM (F)

When not in use, the detachable stem, whisk and motor unit can be stored on the bowl lid.

When placing the discs inside the bowl for storage, make sure the cutting edges do not scratch the bowl walls.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent any damage to the appliance do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleansers when cleaning.

Unplug the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

1. Wash the blender attachments and lids under running water without any abrasive cleaners or detergents. After cleaning, place them upright so that any water that may have got in can drain out.

Do not immerse the blender and lids in water, as the lubrication on the bearings may be washed away over time.

1. Wash the containers and whisk in warm soapy water. All removable parts can be washed in warm soapy water and then carefully rinsed and dried. If necessary, use a nylon-bristle brush to complete the cup cleaning operation.
2. Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse it in water for cleaning purposes, as electric shocks may occur.
3. The non-slip base on the bottom of the bowl can be removed and cleaned. Make sure it is replaced correctly before using it again.
4. Dry all detachable parts thoroughly.

TIP

For quick cleaning between processing tasks, fill the cup or bowl with water halfway, assemble the hand-held blender according to the description in the operation section and start the blending / chopping function for a few seconds.
