Assembly 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.

• Before using your food processor for the first time, remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Ensure food processor is unplugged. WARNING Be careful when handling the blades, grids, and disks 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 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.12 Spindles and Disks

1. Before placing the lid onto the Main bowl,

choose the spindle suited for either the Main bowl or Mini bowl.

3. Then, carefully attach the disk accessory

onto the metal tip of the spindle. The disk should sit flat on the spindle. Either of the spindles will work with the Adjustable slicer, the French fries cutter and the Reversible shredder. Adjustable slicer French fries cutter Reversible shredder Large and mini spindles Mini Processing Bowl The mini processing bowl fits inside the main bowl. Use the mini-spindle with the mini-bowl. Themini-blade and disk accessories can be used with the mini-spindle. Please note that the mini blade cannot be used in the main processing bowl and the S-Blade cannot be used in the mini-bowl.EN

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 when the large pusher is in position, it will allow the motor to run.14

DICING KIT AND CLEANER

The dicing kit comes with 3 corresponding Disk and Grids

• 16mm Assemble in the order show in the diagram on the right.

1. Place geared spindle into the main

2. Place dicing distributor on to the

3. Carefully align and place the dicing

grid into the top of the Bowl and rotate the grid until it drops into place in the bowl and prevents further rotation.

4. Dicing Disk can now be located

onto the top of the geared spindle protruding from the centre of the grid.

5. Align the lid and ensure it is properly

closed and ready for use. IMPORTANT: Always remember to place the geared spindle with dicing distributor, dicing grid and dicing disc into the food processor before adding the food. Do not dice more than the indicated MAX level at any one time. Exceeding this capacity will lead to the produce jamming in the disk. It will also make the cleaning process of the dicing grid challenging, and may cause damage to the accessories in use.

• You can remove the bowl from the base to help the cleaning process.

• If it is still dicult to push from the top - thenthe grid can be inverted onto the bench and the cleaner used on the underside.16 Functions Removing the large pusher during processing will stop the motor. The timer will stop, the INSERT PUSHER icon will be displayed and the PLAY | PAUSE button will flash. Ingredients can be added into the lid chute, and when the large pusher is re-inserted, the unit will continue to process. Pressing the PULSE button will cause the motor to operate only while the button is held down. Sequential presses will cause the timer to count up the collective processing time. This momentary operation is ideal for foods that need sudden bursts of power to encourage ingredients to move or be integrated, or with food types that only require processing for short periods. Use a combination of the PULSE and PLAY | PAUSE buttons for more control when processing ingredients. 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 feed chute safety system. Control Panel When the machine is connected to the power, and the POWER button is pressed; the buttons and screen will illuminate and the food processor will be ready to operate. Pressing the POWER button at this stage will turn the unit o. Pressing the PLAY | PAUSE button will start the motor to run continuously, and the timer will count up to show processing time. Press PLAY | PAUSE again while processing and the motor will stop. The timer will stop and both the pause icon and PLAY | PAUSE button will flash. Press PLAY | PAUSE to continue processing or press POWER to return to standby.EN

Timer During operation the timer will count-up from zero to display the accumulated processing time. Continuous operation will stop if the timer reaches 20 minutes (19:59) and the unit will return to standby mode. To control the processing duration – press the up or down arrows to set the timer for any recipe that requires a specific length of time the ingredients should be processed. Each single press will adjust by 5 seconds, holding the button will adjust in 10 second or higher increments. The TIMER icon will be displayed on the screen. Press PLAY | PAUSE to initiate processing and the unit will operate as the displayed time counts down. The motor will run continuously until the timer reaches zero. Removing the large pusher or using the pause function will not aect the set time during processing. Pressing POWER or PULSE buttons during operation will clear the timer and return to standby. After Processing Wait until the blades or disks have stopped moving before unlocking the lid. Ensure that the unit has been turned o using the POWER button and unplug at the power outlet before handling the blades or disks. When removing the blades or disks, lift the part by carefully gripping the plastic hub area in the center. Overload Protection System The food processor has an overload protection system to prevent damage to the motor – this will cause the food processor to go into standby mode and the OVERLOAD PROTECTION icon will flash. Unplug the food processor and allow to cool for 30 minutes. If the blades or disks stall while processing, immediately stop the machine, then unplug from the power outlet before clearing the wedged ingredients. If this happens more than once, the bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in smaller batches.18 Tips Tips listed below are suggestions only. For more detailed instructions, refer to specific recipes provided online at www.breville.com

Raw fruits and vegetables

Raw or cooked meats and fish

Trim and cut food into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes before processing. Mince / Ground Meat

Raw and cooked proteins

Trim and cut food into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes before processing.

For best results, freeze proteins for 30 minutes.

Trim excess fats and sinew. Puree / Blend

Cooked fruit and vegetables

Allow food to cool before pureeing or blending. Mix

For batters, use PULSE button until mixed evenly. Do not over process. Dough Blade Knead

Bread and pizza doughs

Add liquid through small feed chute whilst themotor is running to incorporate.

Raw foods and vegetables

Salamis and deli meats

Place ingredients vertically on the left side of appropriate sized feed chute to minimize tilting.

For deli meats like salami or pepperoni, trim one end and process one at a time. Reversible Shredding Disk Coarse & Fine Shred

Fruits and vegetables such as apples, potatoes, and cabbage

For best results, freeze softer cheeses for 45minutes before grating. NOTE Grating soft white cheeses such as fresh mozzarella is not recommended.

Remove the rind from hard cheeses before grating. French Fries Disk French Fry Cut

Lay ingredients horizontally in large feed chute to maximize length.

For potatoes and softer produce, use the large feed chute to maximize length; however, for best results on harder, fibrous produce, use the medium chute for more control.EN

Dicing kit (8, 12, 16mm) Dicing

Raw and cooked vegetables and fruits

Use small or medium feed chutes for harder ingredients such as carrot or pumpkin. To further improve results you can also pre cook.

When dicing tomatoes, avocadoes firmer fruit will give a better result

Always use the Dicing Distributor assembled to the Geared Spindle. This will keep the area underneath the chute clear and prevent blockages. IMPORTANT NOTES For optimal results, position food in the chute and use the pusher to push food with light downward force prior to starting the food processor. Always use the small or medium size feed chute for processing hard produce like pumpkin and sweet potato. Feeding hard produce through the large feed chute could cause damage to the disks. 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 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. Ensure 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 indicator. Pressure When processing, never force the food down the chute as this can damage the disks. 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. Mini Bowl The mini processing bowl is used inside the main processing bowl. It is for better control when processing small quantities of food, or herbs. Use the mini-spindle with the mini bowl and then add the mini-blade for chopping, mixing and blending a variety of ingredients. Alternatively, the 'Adjustable Slicing', Shredding or French Fries disks can be used on the mini-spindle to process smaller quantities into the mini bowl. Dicing kit Do not dice raw sweet potato/Kumara. Its dry, hard and fibrous nature may cause damage to the bowl and lid due to heavy load. Do not fill the Bowl with ingredients above the MAX level on the side of the Bowl. Do not assemble the cutting disc onto the gearbox without the grid in place. Always use the Dicing Distributor on the gearbox. IMPORTANT NOTE Due to the harder and more fibrous nature; DO NOT DICE the following:

Meat including hard deli meats.

Fruit and vegetables with tough skin such as pineapple and watermelon. These should be peeled first.20 Care & Cleaning Food Pushers All parts in the pusher stack can be placed in the dishwasher (top rack). 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. Dicing Accessories Follow the assembly instructions for dicing cleaner. After dicing use the dicing accessory to clean out residual food. Dicing accessories can be washed in the dishwasher excluding the dicing gearbox. 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 soapy 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, rinse and dry thoroughly. Store the bowl with the lid o. 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 o 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. Blades and disks

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

• Spindle, blades and disks can be washed in the dishwasher.EN

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 disks in a drawer with other utensils. Do not place anything else on top of your food processor during storage.22 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 pressure, then start the machine. 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. Unevenly cut french fries

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

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

Amount of dough must not exceed maximum recommended quantity on the recipe. 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 clear 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 clears 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 clears the inside of the processing bowl. 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. Make sure the Main bowl is positioned such that its handle is pointing towards the user.

The food content in the feed chute should be below the maximum fill line.

If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and power outlet.EN

The food processor shuts o during operation

Check whether the message "insert pusher" is displayed on the screen. If so, make sure the big pusher, the lid and the bowl are correctly locked in place.

If the motor overloads, the 'OVERLOAD PROTECTION' icon in the screen will start to flash. Switch o by pressing the POWER button and unplug the power cord. Allow the food processor to cool for 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 cut the food into smaller sizes and process using a smaller pusher 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.

Turn the unit o and clear any ingredients that may be caught on the disk, before continuing.

If this occurs while mixing dough – then turn unit o and redistribute the dough mixture more evenly around the bowl before continuing.

Process hard and fibrous foods such as carrots, through the medium or small chute. 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 dicing accessory is not working

Ensure the accessory kit is inserted as per assembly instructions.

Ensure dicing grid is clear from food on top and that it sits locked into the bowl, flat and stable.

Make sure dicing disc is free from wedged ingredients. If this happened use spatula toclear wedged ingredients.

Make sure all dicing parts belong to the same size, i.e. 8mm discs with 8mm grid, etc.24 NotesFR-CA MANUEL D'INSTRUCTIONS the Breville Paradice
