• Before using your food processor for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure the POWER button is OFF and the food processor is unplugged.

• Be careful when handling the blades and discs as they are extremely sharp.

• Wash the processing bowl, processing lid and all attachments in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. All attachments except the geared spindle and large food pusher may be washed in the dishwasher.

• When first using your food processor, you may notice an odor coming from the motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.

• Always use the food processor on a dry, level work surface. ASSEMBLY Motor Base and Bowl

1. Position the processing bowl onto the motor

base with the handle in line with the ALIGN HANDLE graphic on the motor base.

2. Turn the bowl clockwise until the handle

locks to the front. The processing bowl should now be securely locked into position. The food processor will not operate unless the bowl is locked into position correctly.12 Spindles and Discs

1. Before placing the lid onto the processing

bowl, choose your spindle and position it over the coupling in the center of the processing bowl. Then position your chosen attachment over the spindle. Please note that the S- Blade and Dough Blade do not require a spindle for processing.

2. The disc spindle is required when using

the following discs: adjustable slicer, reversible shredder, julienne, French fries cutter and the peeler. IMPORTANT: Do not use the geared spindle for those attachments. Failing to use the disc spindle will damage the parts, and incorrect use this way may cause the parts to fuse together. Julienne disc French fries cutter Slicing disc Reversible Shredding disc Peeler Disc spindle

3. The geared spindle is required when using

the dicing kit. To dice vegetables or fruit insert the geared spindle into the bowl first, followed by the dicing grid, ensuring to align with the 4 tabs in the bowl, then insert the dicing disc. Make sure you follow the right order. Do not use your dicing kit with the disc spindle. Always use the geared spindle. Dicing blade Dicing grid Geared spindle Dicing distributor WARNING Do not touch the blades of the Dicing Grid. They are extremely sharp.13 Mini Processing Bowl The mini processing bowl fits inside the main bowl. The mini processing blade gives you maximum control for small quantities. Do not use any spindle, or the processing discs. Use only the mini processing blade in the mini bowl. Please note that the mini blade cannot be used in the main processing bowl. Lid Place lid onto the processing bowl so that the ALIGN | LOCK graphics on the lid and handle align. To LOCK the lid, hold the chute and turn clockwise so that the handle parts align. Locking the lid correctly will engage the interlocking safety catch on the handle, and allow the motor to run.14 Functions OPERATION Getting started The food processor will only operate when the processing bowl, lid and large pusher are correctly assembled. This engages the safety interlock, and allows the motor to run. The chute has a CHUTE FILL MAX graphic to indicate the maximum volume of food that can be placed in the chute for the pusher to activate the safety locking catch. Control buttons The POWER button illuminates red when the machine is connected to power and is ready to run. The START|PAUSE button allows the motor to run continuously until pressed again. If the lid, bowl or large pusher are removed while the motor is running, the button will flash. The motor will resume running when the bowl, lid and large pusher are assembled and the safety interlock is engaged, the button light will be solid (no longer flashing). The momentary PULSE button is ideal for processing foods that need sudden bursts of power. It also encourages ingredients to move around the bowl. PULSE is also best when processing foods that only require processing for a short period of time. Use a combination of the START|PAUSE and PULSE buttons for control when processing food. Timer If the timer isn’t set, the food processor timer counts up in seconds. When using the timer this way, the processor will stop after 10 minutes (9:59), or you can cancel it manually. The alternative to running in count-up mode is to use the arrow buttons to set the timer before starting. The count-down timer can be used for any recipe that specifies the length of time ingredients should be processed. To set the count-down timer, press the up or down arrows until the desired processing time is displayed on the LCD screen. When the timer has finished counting down the food processor will automatically stop. After Processing After processing, wait until the blades/discs have stopped moving before unlocking the lid. To ensure safe handling, turn off at the POWER button and unplug at the power outlet before handling the blades. When removing blades/discs, lift the part by carefully gripping the plastic hub in the center. Overload Protection System The food processor has an overload protection system to prevent damage to the motor. If activated, the food processor will go into STANDBY mode, and the 'OVERLOAD' icon on the LCD will flash. Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Once cooled, you will be able to use the food processor as usual again. Note that some stiff mixtures (such as bread dough) may cause the blade to rotate more slowly than normal. If this happens, do not process for more than 30 seconds. If the blades or discs jam with food while processing, immediately stop the machine, then unplug from the power outlet before clearing the wedged food. If this happens more than once, the bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in smaller batches.15

DICING WITH THE DICING KIT

The dicing kit dices raw and cooked food into cubes of the size of 12 x 12mm. Even cut vegetables can lead to even cooking and more consistent food results. IMPORTANT: Always remember to place the geared spindle, dicing grid and dicing disc into the food processor before adding the food. If you intend to dice larger quantities (more than 5 cups) please insert the Dicing Distributor after placing your geared spindle into the bowl. The Dicing Distributor will help to distribute diced food evenly across the bowl. Do not dice more than 10 cups (2.4l) in your food processor at a time. Exceeding this capacity will lead to the produce jamming in the disc. It will also make the cleaning process of the dicing grid challenging. Clean dicing grid each time after dicing 10 cups. Place your dicing kit into Food Processor in the following order: Dicing Disc Lid Large Feed Chute Medium Feed Chute Small Feed Chute Processing Bowl Motor Base Dicing Grid Geared Spindle Dicing Distributor16 Vegetables and fruits The dicing kit can process raw and cooked vegetables and also fruits. To improve dicing results for harder vegetables like carrots and pumpkin, par-cooking is recommended. Only par-cook vegetables that need to be cooked afterwards. For best results when dicing with raw, hard vegetables feed carrots length-ways through the small feed chute, and feed pumpkin through the medium feed chute. Feeding this produce through the large feed chute may lead to jamming of the disc.

DO NOT DICE SWEET POTATO

(Yam/Kumara). Due to its dry, fibrous texture dicing sweet potato is not recommended with the Dicing Kit. Sweet Potato places high load on the Dicing Kit which causes high friction and potential damage to the Bowl Lid. When dicing tomato, select firmer fruit for optimal results. Use the START|PAUSE button for control when dicing food. To get remaining food out of the grid use the dicer cleaning cap. Straight after dicing, remove the dicing disc from the bowl while leaving the dicing grid inside the bowl. Attach the cleaning cap to the bottom of the large food pusher, align the markings on the cleaning cap with the markings on the dicing grid and push down to clear out the food in the grid. Repeat four times going around the grid until the entire grid is cleared.17 The best size potato for the peeling disc is around 2¾" x 2¾". Choose potatoes that are round, rather than elongated. Peeling other produces The peeler disc can peel potatoes very well but it can also be used to peel other firm, round produces. You get great results with little waste when peeling beets. It can also peel carrots and sweet potatoes. Depending on the size, we recommend cutting carrots and sweet potatoes in 2-3 pieces before placing them into the bowl.

CHOPPING WITH THE MICRO-

SERRATED S-BLADE™ The micro-serrated S-blade chops raw and cooked food to the consistency required, from coarsely chopped to minced. The blades process very efficiently, and may take less time than expected to process many large tasks. Always remember to place the spindle and S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. Avoid over-processing by checking the consistency frequently. For many tasks, we recommend using the PULSE button, as it may only take a few seconds to fully process food to your desired consistency. If necessary, turn the POWER off and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to encourage even processing. Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats Trim and cut food into 1 inch cubes. Process no more than 7 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

PEELING WITH THE PEELER

Potato peeling made easy Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes. The Breville peeler will peel potatoes in batches of 6–7, depending on the size. Peeling is very fast, and may finish quicker than expected. Keep your eye on progress, and it should be done in 25–40 seconds. Size matters The best size potatoes to use are around 2 ¾" x 2 ¾", which is about the size of this illustration. Choose potatoes that are round, rather than elongated. Use whole potatoes, as cutting potatoes into half or quarters creates square edges that won't peel efficiently. Using rounder potatoes will reduce the amount of waste. Loading the potatoes Position 6–7 potatoes evenly on top of the peeler. Potatoes should have enough room to freely roll and rumble. If potatoes are too tightly packed, the peeling won't be as effective. Keep in mind that the peeling works best with a complete batch, and peeling just a couple of potatoes won't be as efficient. Lock lid in place before starting, and never insert potatoes through the chute. How long to peel Peeling is very quick, with most potatoes taking 25–30 seconds. Less time in the peeler means less waste, but you may have to remove the eyes by hand with a paring knife. More time in the peeler will take a thicker layer off, including most of the eyes. TIP Set the Timer to 25 seconds and review the results when the product stops. Add extra time if required for optimum results.18 Raw meat, chicken and fish Trim excess fat and sinew, and cut food into 1 inch cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill well in freezer until firm as this will help to cut through the food more easily. Process no more than 4 cups (600g) of raw meat at a time. At this capacity the motor should run for no more than 30 seconds at a time. Use a combination of the START and the PULSE button until chopped or minced to the desired consistency. Garlic, chili and ginger Peel garlic cloves and process them whole. Leave chili whole, or remove seeds for milder chilli. Peel and cut ginger into 1 inch cubes. For other solid herbs like lemongrass or galangal, peel and cut into cubes or pieces between ½ and 1 inch in size. Size should be made smaller for harder or more dense herbs. Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. If adding garlic, chilli or ginger to other ingredients, drop whole pieces down the small feed chute while the motor is running. Leafy herbs Wash and dry herbs thoroughly. Remove any coarse stems. Process no more than 3 bunches of herbs (approx. 5½ cups) at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. Use leafy herbs immediately for the most aromatic results in your recipe. Nuts Process no more than 5 cups of shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. Nut butters Process no more than 5 cups of shelled roasted nuts at a time using the START button until chopped to the desired consistency. The volume of nuts reduces after processing, for example 2 cups of nuts will make around 1 cup of nut butter. Natural nut butter (without using stabilisers) will separate on standing, and needs to be stirred before use. For a smoother nut butter, add a little vegetable oil. This can improve the texture of nuts with a lower oil content, like roasted almonds. Soft breadcrumbs Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will stick to blades). Process no more than 6–8 slices at a time with the processing bowl, using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency. Dried breadcrumbs Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until golden and crisp. Do not over brown. Process no more than 6–8 slices at a time with the processing bowl, using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals. Cookie crumbs Break cookies into quarters, and weigh a maximum of 17.6 oz. (2 standard packets). Process using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. Sweet or savory cookie crumbs can be used as an alternative to pastry for sweet or savory pies. Do not process very hard cookies as this may damage the blades. Dried fruit For dates and other larger dried fruits, remove pits and cut into quarters before processing. Process no more than 1 cup at a time. Dried fruit can be sticky, and may stick to the blades during processing. We recommend putting dried fruit in the freezer for about 10 minutes before processing.19 Process no more than 2 cups (1 cup for large fruits) at a time using the PULSE button at 1–2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency. If chopping fruit to add to cake mixture, process the fruit before making the cake mix. Add a little flour (from the quantity of flour in the recipe) to prevent fruit from sticking to the S-blade.

PURÉEING WITH THE MICRO-

SERRATED S-BLADE™ The S-blade purees raw and cooked food to the consistency required, including baby food. The blades process very efficiently, and cut the time needed to puree many tasks. Always remember to place the S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. Carefully remove the S-blade after pureeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl. Baby food Trim and cut vegetables and meat into 1inch cubes. Cook vegetables and meat before processing. Process no more than 7½ cups at a time using the START | PAUSE button in intervals until the food is pureed to a smooth and even consistency. Stock, milk or gravy can be added through the small feed chute if the mixture becomes too thick. Excess baby food can be frozen in ice-cube trays, and packed in single serve freezer bags ready for use.

MIXING WITH THE MICRO-

SERRATED S-BLADE™ The S-blade mixes ingredients for cakes, batters, and cookie doughs. The S-blade can also emulsify egg-based sauces such as mayonnaise. Always remember to place the spindle and S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. Butter cake and cookie dough Place firm, chopped butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START | PAUSE button for one minute. With the motor running, add eggs one at a time through the small feed chute, mixing well after each egg is added. Take lid off and add liquid and dry ingredients to the mixture. Process using the PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not over-process. Add chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, etc after the main mixture is done. Use the PULSE button in very short bursts until the additions are combined. Do not over-process, as these larger ingredients will break down quickly. Quick-mix cakes and batters Place all ingredients in the bowl, starting with liquids, and being careful not to exceed the MAX LIQUID level. Process using the PULSE button until folded evenly. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not over-process. This method can also be used for melt ’n’ mix cakes, packet cake mixes and crepe batters. Pastry dough Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the processing bowl. Do not process more than 3L cups (500g) of flour using the START | PAUSE button in intervals until the butter is absorbed into the flour. Steadily add liquid through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture forms a ball.20

DOUGH BLADE Always remember to place the dough blade into the processing bowl before adding the food. The edges of the plastic dough blade create a softer action for combining dough ingredients. The dough blade encourages the gluten strands to be stretched rather than cut, and should be used for all yeast doughs, and any other doughs that require kneading. Bread or pizza dough Place flour and dry ingredients into the processing bowl, including instant active dry yeast. Do not process more than 3L cups (500g) of flour or using the START | PAUSE button in intervals. Steadily add liquid (including oil, if applicable) through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture forms a soft, elastic dough ball. Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface and knead for a further 5 minutes if necessary until soft and pliable. If processing more than two batches of dough, allow the motor base to cool for an extended period (approx.30 min) before subsequent kneading to prevent the motor from overloading.

SLICING, GRATING AND SHREDDING

IMPORTANT The spindle must be used with both the adjustable slicer and the reversible shredder/ grater. Adjustable slicer The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even and consistent thickness. It can be adjusted to 24 settings, from very fine (0.3mm) to thick (8.0mm). To adjust the slicing thickness, hold the adjustable slicing disc by the outer edge with one hand, keeping hand away from blade, and turn the adjustment dial on the underside with the other hand. An arrow graphic indicates the thickness of the slice you have chosen. Reversible grater and shredder This disc has an array of small blades on both sides of the disc. Align the disc so larger holes face up for coarser textured results, or with the smaller holes facing up for finer results. The discs are labelled showing which side faces up.21

CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS

For optimal results, position food in the chute and use the pusher to apply light downward force prior to starting the food processor. Smaller ingredients For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, etc., use the small or medium feed chute. This will avoid the ingredient from tipping over during slicing. Larger ingredients The wide feed chute is 5.5 inches wide, and can fit ingredients up to this size. The chute can be packed to fill the width of the chute. The food should fit snugly so it is supported in an upright position in the chute, but not so tight that it could prevent the food from moving down the chute. Take care not to overfill the chute, as the pusher will not activate the interlock safety catch if the chute is too full. Do not fill over the MAX CHUTE FILL graphic. Pressure When processing, never force the food down the chute as this can damage the discs. Apply light, even pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes and bananas. Apply medium, even pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes, cheese, deli meats and apples. Round fruit and vegetables Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing and peeling (if necessary). Small fruit and vegetables should be trimmed on one end so the food sits flat inside the feed chute. Large fruit and vegetables may need to be cut in half to fit in the chute. Long fruit and vegetables Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing and peeling (if necessary). Ingredients can be cut cross-sectionally to create circular results. Use the small and medium feed chute, or pack ingredients vertically in the large feed chute. Ingredients can be cut lengthwise to create ribbons. Use the large feed chute, and trim ingredients if necessary to encourage them to sit flat in the feed chute when the disc starts. Pack the large feed chute horizontally. Leafy vegetables Cut cabbage into wedges to fit the feed chute. For lettuce, separate leaves, then roll up and pack vertically in the feed chute. Cheese Caution should be taken when processing cheese in a food processor. For soft cheese such as mozzarella, partially freeze it until firm. This will help prevent jamming the disc. Round cheeses such as mozzarella should be trimmed at one end to encourage them to sit flat in the feed chute with the disc starts. Hard cheeses such as parmesan must be checked first to ensure they are not too hard (to avoid damaging blade edges). The cheese should slice easily with a sharp knife and remove the rind before processing. Wedged shaped cheeses such as parmesan can be packed side by side to form a rectangular shape in the chute. Deli meats Cut in lengths to fit the height of the feed chute. The length must not be higher than MAX CHUTE FILL graphic. Pack with the cut side facing down. For hard cured sausages like salami and pepperoni trim on one end and process one sausage at a time through the small or medium feed chute, depending on size. Chocolate Break a block of chocolate into small pieces, and chill until firm. Pack into the small or medium feed chute, and then shred.

The mini processing bowl is used inside the main processing bowl. It is for better control when processing small quantities of food, or herbs. It can be used for chopping, mixing and blending a variety of ingredients.22 Food Processing Guide For more information about preparation of food and how to process, refer to basic processing techniques.

Processing bowl and lid Due to the interlock components, we do not recommend immersing the bowl in water for long periods. To keep your bowl and lid clean, and to avoid food drying on, follow these steps as soon as possible after use:

• Rinse most of the ingredients off the bowl and lid.

• Hand wash in clean warm, soapy water using a mild liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.

• The processing bowl and lid may occasionally be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only), however washing in the dishwasher is not recommended on a regular basis, as prolonged exposure to harsh detergents, hot water and pressure will damage and shorten the life of the plastic and the interlock components. WARNING Oils in citrus rind can damage the material of your food processor bowl if being exposed to it for a longer period. Always clean your processing bowl immediately after processing citrus rind.

• The large food pusher and geared spindle should only be hand-washed. Do not place them into the dishwasher. Washing the geared spindle in the dishwasher will damage the spindle. Blades and discs

• Blades and discs are razor sharp, do not touch. Always use a spatula or brush to remove food or when cleaning blades.

• Disc spindle, blades and discs can be washed in the dishwasher. WARNING Do not touch the blades of the Dicing Grid. They are extremely sharp. Dicer Use the dicer cleaning cap to clear out excess food built up in the dicing grid after EACH USE or each 10 cups.

• Immediately after dicing, remove the dicing disc from the bowl while leaving the dicing grid inside the bowl.

• Attach the cleaning cap to the bottom of the large pusher.

• Align the markings on the cleaning cap with the markings on the dicing grid, push down to clear out the food in the grid.

• Repeat four times going around the grid until the entire grid is cleared.

• Once all food is cleared out, carefully remove the dicing grid from the bowl and clean it with a brush.25 Motor base To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord. Cleaning agents Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on either the motor base or the jug, as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soap water with a soft cloth. Stubborn food stains and odors Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and some vegetables such as carrots may leave an odor or stain the bowl or lid. To remove, pour warm soapy water and fill to the MAX LIQUID mark. Set aside to soak for 5 minutes, without immersing the whole bowl. Then wash with a mild detergent and warm water, rise well and dry thoroughly. Store the bowl with the lid off. Storage Place the large food pusher (with medium and small pushers inserted) into the feed chute for storage. Store your food processor upright, with the bowl and lid resting in position, but not locked. Locking the bowl and lid can put unnecessary strain on the safety interlock. All accessories should be kept in the storage container and out of the reach of children to avoid accidental cuts. It is not recommended to store the discs in a drawer with other utensils. Do not place anything else on top of your food processor during storage.26 Troubleshooting

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

Food is unevenly processed

Ingredients should be cut evenly into 1 inch pieces before processing.

Ingredients should be processed in batches to avoid overloading. Slices are slanted or uneven

Place evenly cut food into the feed chute.

Apply even pressure on the pusher. Food falls over in the feed chute

The large feed chute must be packed full for best results. If processing smaller quantities, place items to the far left in the feed chute, or use a smaller feed chute, depending on the food size. Frenchs fries cutter

Always clear any blocked potato before processing more potatoes. Some food remains on top of the disc after processing

It is normal for small pieces to remain after processing. Motor slows down when kneading dough

Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity. Remove half and process in two batches.

Dough may be too dry. If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans the side of the processing bowl. Dough doesn’t clean inside of the processing bowl

Amount of dough may exceed food processor maximum capacity. Remove half and process in two batches.

Dough may be too dry. Dough nub forms on top of dough blade and dough does not become uniformly kneaded

Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them evenly in the processing bowl. Dough feels tough after kneading

Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in processing bowl. Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable. Allowing dough to rest allows the gluten strands to relax and become more pliable. Dough is too dry

While machine is running, add water through the small feed chute, 1 tablespoon at a time until dough cleans the inside of the processing bowl. Dough is too wet

While machine is running, add flour through the small feed chute, 1 tablespoon at a time until dough cleans the inside of the processing bowl.27

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

The motor does not start

There is a safety interlock switch to prevent the motor from starting if it is not properly assembled. Make sure the processing bowl and lid are securely locked into position.

If you are slicing or shredding and the above solution does not work, make sure that the food contents in the feed chute are cut below the maximum fill line so that the activation rod can engage the motor.

Make sure the large food pusher is inserted in the feed chute low enough to engage safety interlock switch.

If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and power outlet. The food processor shuts off during operation

The lid may have become unlocked; check to make sure it is securely in position.

If the motor overloads, the 'OVERLOAD' icon in the LCD will start to flash. Switch off by pressing the POWER | OFF button and unplug the power cord. Allow the food processor to cool for 20–30 minutes before resuming. The motor slowed down during operation

This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g. slicing/shredding cheese) may require the motor to work harder. Reposition the food in the feed chute and continue processing.

The maximum load capacity may have been exceeded. Remove some of the ingredients and continue processing. The food processor vibrates/moves during processing

Make sure the rubber feet at the bottom of the unit are clean and dry. Also make sure that the maximum load capacity is not being exceeded.

This is normal as some heavier loads may require the motor to work harder. INSERT PUSHER flashing

Make sure that food does not exceed the max line in the food chute.

If pusher is fully inserted and this warning flashes on the screen, check that the bowl and lid are assembled correctly. Bowl handle should be facing the front of the unit. The food processor stalls when dicing

Stop the machine, very carefully remove the dicing disc. Using the cleaning cap, clear out the food built up in the dicing grid and dicing disc.

Some foods are too hard for the dicer to process, and cause the motor to stop. Some foods need to be par-cooked, check the food processing guide.28 Basic Recipes Vanilla Whipped Cream Prep 1 minute Makes 3 cups 2 cups (500ml) pure cream 1 vanilla bean, scraped
