Automatic cut-out

Read these instructions carefully before you start using the appliance

To prevent damage due to overheating, your appliance has been equipped with an automatic cut-out system. In case of overheating, this system will automatically cut off the power supply to the appliance. If you follow the instructions below, you can switch on the appliance again after you have let it cool down for 15 minutes.

If your appliance suddenly stops running:

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket
• Set the switch to position O
• Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes
• Put the mains plug back in the socket
• Switch on the appliance again.

Please contact your Philips dealer or an authorised Philips service centre if the automatic cut-out system is activated time and again.

Important

• Read the directions for use and look at the illustrations before you start using the appliance.
• Remove the protective cover from the blade each time you use it.
• Be very careful when you pick up the blade, the knife of the blender and the slicing/grating disc. They are very sharp!
• Thoroughly clean the parts that will come into contact with food before you use the appliance for the first time.
• Place the lid on the bowl in the right position. The built-in safety lock will now be deblocked and you will be able to turn on the appliance.
• Note that if both the blender and the bowl have been correctly mounted, only the blender will function.
• Never let the appliance run unattended.
• Never let children run the appliance.
• When you are mixing or blending liquids, do not exceed the maximum content indicated on the bowl or the blender (top line of the graduation).
• Do not exceed the maximum amounts and processing times indicated in the table.
• Wait until moving parts have stopped running before you remove the lid of the appliance.
• Never put your fingers or objects (e.g. a spatula) in the chute while the appliance is running. Only the pusher is to be used for this purpose.
• Never put your fingers or objects (e.g. a spatula) in the blender unless you have unplugged the appliance first.
• Never immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid. Do not rinse it either.
• Unplug the appliance after use.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must always be replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips, in order to avoid hazardous situations.
• Keep these directions for use for future reference.

Placing the bowl (B) (fig. 2)

• Put the bowl on the food processor as shown (1)
• Turn the handle in the direction of the arrow until the bowl cannot be moved any further and you hear a 'click' (2).

Placing the lid (C)

• Put the lid on the bowl as shown in fig. 3.
• Turn the lid with some force in the direction of the arrow until the lid will not move any further and you hear a 'click' (fig. 4-5).

Chute (L) and pusher (M)

• The chute can be used to add liquid and solid ingredients (fig. 7). - Use the pusher to push ingredients through the chute (fig. 8). - You can also use the pusher to close the chute while the appliance is running to prevent dust or drops of liquid from escaping through the chute (fig. 9).

Built-in safety lock (F)

The motor unit as well as the lid (C) have been provided with marks. The appliance will only function if the arrow on the motor unit is placed directly opposite the mark on the lid. In this position, the projection (E) of the lid will cover the opening in the handle of the bowl.

How to use the appliance

Note: The appliance will only function if

• The screw cap (P) or the blender (Q-U) have been properly mounted onto the motor unit (A) and • The bowl (B) and the lid (C) have been placed on the motor unit in accordance with the instructions in this booklet.
• If both the blender and the bowl have been mounted correctly onto the motor unit, only the blender will function.

Set the speed control (N) to the position indicated in the table on pages 8-10 and switch the appliance on. When you have doubts about the right speed, always select the highest speed (setting 2).

Blade (G)

Be careful: the cutting edges of the blade are very sharp!

• The blade can be used for chopping, mixing, blending, pureeing and preparing puff pastry, crumble and shortcrust pastry. - Remove the protective cover from the blade (fig. 10). - Put the bowl on the motor unit (fig. 2) and fit the blade onto the driving shaft (fig. 11). - Put the ingredients in the bowl (fig. 12). - Fasten the lid onto the bowl and put the pusher in the chute. - Set the speed control (N) to the position indicated in the table and switch the appliance on. If you have doubts about the correct speed, always select the highest speed (position 2). - Applications/recipes, mentioned in the table, will be ready after 10-60 seconds.

Tips:

• It is better not to chop large chunks with the blade; pre-cut them into pieces of approximately 3 cm before putting them in the food processor. • The appliance chops very quickly; let it run for short periods at a time, also when you are using the pulse setting (M), to prevent the food from becoming too finely chopped.
• Do not let the appliance run for too long when you are chopping (hard) cheese; the cheese will get too hot and will start to melt and become lumpy.
• If food sticks to the blade or to the inside of the bowl:
• turn the appliance off;
• remove the lid from the bowl;

• remove the ingredients from the blade or the inside of the bowl with a spatula.
• Do not chop very hard ingredients like coffee beans, nutmeg and ice cubes. They could cause the blade to get blunt.

Check the table for the appropriate speed and setting.

Slicing/shredding disc (H)

Be careful: the cutting edges of the disc are very sharp!

Only grasp the plastic part in the middle of the disc.

• Put the bowl on the motor unit (fig. 2).
• Put the slicing/grating disc in place (fig. 13).
• Put the lid on the bowl (fig. 14).
• Put the ingredients in the chute (fig. 15).
• Press the pusher lightly onto the ingredients in the chute.
• For grating and slicing: set the speed control to position 2 (maximum speed).
• If you want to cut soft vegetables or fruits, you can also select a lower speed setting (see table).
• Press the ingredients slowly and steadily down with the pusher (fig. 16).

Tips:

• Pre-cut large chunks to make them fit into the chute.
• Fill the chute evenly for the best results.
• When you have to cut large amounts of food, process only small batches at a time and empty the bowl regularly between batches.

Blender (Q-U)

Important:

• The appliance can be used with or without the blender attached to the motor unit. If you use the appliance without the blender, the appliance will not function if the screw cap (P) has not been screwed onto the attaching hole for the blender.
• Before use: do not put the mains plug in the socket until you have attached the blender jar (S), the lid (R) and the knife unit (U) to the motor unit in the correct way. • After use: unplug the appliance before you remove the blender jar from the motor unit.
• The blender can be used for pureeing very finely and for blending. It can be used for e.g. soups, sauces, milkshakes, baby food, vegetables, fruit, thin batter, puree, etc. If necessary, cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before you put them in the blender.
• Do not fill the blender jar with ingredients that are hotter than 80 °C. • To prevent spilling, do not put more than 1.2 litres of liquid in the blender jar.
• Never remove the lid while the blender is running.

How to use the blender

• Put the ingredients in the blender jar (fig. 33).
• Switch on the appliance by setting the speed control to the recommended speed (fig. 34) or by pressing the pulse button (M) (fig. 35). If you have any doubt about the correct speed, always select the highest speed (position 2). Check the table for the appropriate speed and setting.

Tips:

• Liquid ingredients (for example oil for making mayonnaise) can be poured into the blender jar through the hole in the stopper which has been put in the lid upside down (fig. 36).
• The opening in the lid can be used to add ingredients while the appliance is running. To do so, unscrew the stopper and remove it from the lid (fig. 37-38).
• The longer you let the appliance run, the finer the blending result will usually be.
• It may be necessary to switch off the appliance from time to time to remove pieces of food sticking to the inside of the blender jar.
• Switch off the appliance and unplug it;
• Remove the stopper and the lid;
• Remove pieces sticking to the inside of the blender jar with a soft spatula. Keep the spatula at a safe distance from the knives (approximately 2 cm).

Cleaning

• Always unplug the appliance before you start cleaning the motor unit. - You can clean the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water and do not rinse it either. • Always clean the parts that have come into contact with food in hot water with washing-up liquid immediately after use. - Clean the blade, the knife unit of the blender and the slicing disc very carefully. The cutting edges are very sharp! - Make sure that the cutting edges of the blade and the slicing disc do not come into contact with hard objects: this could cause them to become blunt.

• Certain ingredients may cause discolorations on the surface of the accessories. This does not have a negative effect; the discolorations usually disappear after some time.
• Wrap the (excess) mains cord around the reel on the back of the appliance (fig. 39).
