3. ASSEMBLY

To carry out the assembly of the food processor, you must take into account that depending on the food you want to process, you will have to use one or other components. In general terms, however, the steps to be taken are as follows:

1. In any case, you must first place the container on the base so that it fits into the grooves and the position of the container is fixed and stable.
2. Then, unless you intend to use the cone and filter for squeezing, place the tool holder A on the motor shaft so that it is fixed and the two parts rotate with each other. In the case of the juicer, tool holder B shall be used.
3. On the tool holder you have decided to use, place the tool of your choice, whether it is a cutting blade, a kneading blade, the disc holder with the different options that fit into the recess of the holder for processing food or the filter and the squeezing cone.
4. If using any type of blade, the lid should be placed over the processing bowl and, if necessary, push the food into the recess to press it against the disc holder using the food pusher. The lid is fixed on the bowl, so it does not move and is stable, just like the rest of the components.

4. OPERATION

The power selector has three modes or speeds:

• Speed mode 1 is usually powerful enough to grind any food. It is used in all cases at the beginning of processing.
• If necessary, due to the hardness or shape of the food, you can use speed mode 2 to give extra power to the processor.
• PULSE mode, indicated by a P on the selector, sets the processor to full power while it is active. It is used in cases where you want to chop or grind something hard that requires powerful but short impacts.

The processor is designed for shredding in various forms, chopping, squeezing and kneading.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

• To clean the blades properly, first rinse the jug with water. Fill the jug with 400 ml of lukewarm water and add some detergent soap. Close the jug with the lid and run the machine in PULSE mode for 2 seconds at a time. Repeat the process as many times as necessary.
• To finish cleaning the food processor, turn the power knob to the "0" position, turn the switch off and unplug the appliance after each use and before cleaning.
• Use water to clean the jug. Do not use chemical or harsh abrasive cleaning agents.
• Never submerge the motor base or the blade holder in water.
• Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the motor base. Do not clean this part with a wet cloth.
• The following parts are dishwasher safe: food pusher, processing bowl lid, tool holder (processing shaft-A), tool holder (processing shaft-B), cutting blade unit, plastic kneading blade, disc holder, fine shredding blade, fine shredding blade, french fries blade, squeezing cone and squeezing filter.
