Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

• 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. The attachments 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

1. Position the processing bowl onto the motor base with the handle in line with the ALIGN HANDLE graphic on the motor base.

1. 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.

1. The spindle is required when using ALL discs and blades. Failing to use the spindle will damage the parts, and incorrect use this way may cause the parts to fuse together.

1. Before placing the lid onto the processing bowl, position the spindle over the coupling in the center of the processing bowl. Then position your chosen blade or disc over it. The blades drop down lower than the discs.

1. 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.

Functions

OPERATION

• 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 POWER button illuminates red when the machine is connected to power and is ready to run.
• The START 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 and PULSE buttons for control when processing food.
• The chute has a MAX CHUTE FILL graphic to indicate the maximum volume of food that can be placed in the chute for the pusher to activate the safety locking catch.
• 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 carefully by 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 buttons 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 1 minute.
• If the blades or discs jam with food while processing, immediately 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.

CHOPPING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S-BLADETM

The 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.

Carefully remove the S-blade after pureeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.

Raw vegetables, fruit and cooked meats

Trim and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Process no more than 6 cups at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to desired size or consistency.

Raw meat, chicken and fish

Trim excess fat and cut food into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Ensure all bones are removed. Chill for a short time in freezer until firm as this will help to cut through the food more readily. Process no more than 214 pounds (or 1kg) 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, chilli and ginger

Peel garlic cloves and process them whole. Leave chillies whole, or remove seeds for milder chilli. Peel and cut ginger into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes.

For other solid herbs like lemongrass or galangal, peel and cut into cubes or pieces between 12 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.

Store chopped herbs with a little vegetable oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

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 2 bunches of herbs (approx. 4 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 41% cups of shelled nuts at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until chopped to the desired consistency.

Dried fruit

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. Process no more than 2 cups 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.

We do not recommend to process large dried fruits such as dates and figs.

Soft crumbs

Break stale bread into chunks (fresh bread will stick to blades). Process no more than 4-6 slices at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals until crumbed to desired consistency. For best results when making bread crumbs, add one slice at a time.

Dried breadcrumbs

Tear bread into chunks and toast in oven until golden and crisp.Do not over brown.Process no more than 4-6 slices at a time using the PULSE button at 1-2 second intervals.

Cookie crumbs

Break cookies into quarters, and weigh a maximum of 8oz (250g). 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.

PURÉEING WITH THE MICRO-SERRATED S-BLADE

The S-blade purées raw and cooked food to the consistency required, including baby food. The blades process very efficiently, and cut the time needed to purée many tasks.

Always remember to place the S-blade into the processing bowl before adding the food.

Carefully remove the S-blade after puréeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.

Baby food

Trim and cut vegetables and meat into 1 inch (2.5cm) cubes. Cook vegetables and meat before processing. Process no more than 6 cups at a time (using the START 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.

Peanut butter

Process no more than 412 cups of shelled 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 stabilizers) will separate on standing, and needs to be stirred before 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.

Carefully remove the S-blade after pureeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.

Butter cake and cookie dough

Place softened, chopped butter and sugar into the processing bowl. Process using the START button until the mixture is lightly creamed. 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 chic 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 crêpe batters.

Pastry dough

Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the processing bowl.

Do not process more than 2 cups (300g) of flour (using the START 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.

KNEADING WITH THE DOUGH BLADE

Always remember to place the spindle and 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 5 cups (700g) of flour (using the START button in intervals).

Steadily add liquid (including oil) through the small feed chute with the motor still running. Process until the mixture forms a soft, elastic dough ball. This normally takes about 45-60 seconds. Do not over process.

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 recipes of dough ingredients (maximum 700g flour), allow the motor base to cool for an extended period before subsequent kneading to prevent the motor from overloading.

Place dough into a large, greased mixing bowl and cover. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until double in size. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead again until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough then allow to rise in a warm area before baking in a hot oven.

SLICING, GRATING AND SHREDDING

Important: The spindle must be used with both the adjustable slicer and the reversible shredder/grater.

Carefully remove the S-blade after pureeing food and use a spatula to scrape food adhering to the blade and bowl.

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, and turn the adjustment dial on the underside with the other hand. An arrow graphic indicates the thickness of the slice you will get.

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 courser textured results, or with the smaller holes facing up for finer results. The discs are labelled showing which side faces up.

CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS

It is important to position the food in the chute to gain maximum control and best results.

Smaller ingredients

For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, etc., use the small feed chute. This will avoid the ingredient from tipping over during slicing.

Larger ingredients

The wide feed chute is 5in (13cm) 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.

Medium feed chute

Use the medium feed chute for 'in-between' food processing. The medium feed chute is 234 in (7cm) 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.

Ensure the large pusher is in place before using the medium pusher.

Pressure

When processing, never force the food down the chute as this can damage the discs.

Apply light pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes and bananas.

Apply medium pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes and apples.

Apply firm pressure for hard foods such as parmesan cheese and deli meats such as salami.

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. Pack the chute from left to right.

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.

Delimeats

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.

Grated Chocolate

Break a block of chocolate into small pieces, and chill until firm. Pack into the small feed chute, and then grate using either the coarse or fine side of the reversible shredder (do not use S-blade or adjustable slicer).

For more information about preparation of food and how to process, refer to basic processing techniques. For specific recipes, refer to the recipe section.

Care & Cleaning

Remove the power cord from the power outlet after use for safety reasons.

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 warm, soapy water using a mild liquid detergent and non-abrasive sponge.

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.

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.

Dishwasher

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.

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 a safe place out of the reach of children to avoid accidental cuts. It is not recommended to store the discs in a drawer with other utensils.

We recommend storing the S-blades inside the bowl, with the variable slicer on top. These blades are extremely sharp, and the bowl provides natural protection.

Do not place anything else on top of your food processor during storage.

PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION

Food is unevenly processed	·Ingredients should be cut evenly into 1 inch (2.5cm) 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 the small or medium feed chute, depending on the food size.
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 wet (see below). If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not, add more flour, 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 (see below).
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.
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.
Dough becomes sticky and attached to dough blade, machine vibrating	·Reduce process time. Stop the machine when dough balls just formed. This will take about 45-60 seconds.

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, all buttons will flash in unison. Unplug at the wall, and 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.
