• Disconnect the mains plug from the power socket if you are going to be absent for long periods.

• Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the power cable.

• Unplug from the mains plug outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

• This appliance is not intended to be operated using an external timer or separate remote-control system.

• Do not let the power cable hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not use the appliance for anything other than blending or chopping food.

• Do not operate the food processor with wet hands.

• To clean, wipe the machine body with a well-wrung wet cloth. Do not submerge it in water or other liquids. Wash the cups and lids with warm water and soap. Dry properly before placing the cups back into the machine.

• Do not switch the appliance on if the bowl is empty or use the food processor for more than 30 seconds at a time as this will overheat the motor. After 30 seconds of use, allow the machine to cool down for 3 minutes.

• Be sure to turn switch to OFF ( O ) position after each use. Always use the pusher to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.

• The maximum rating of this unit is based on using the Chopping Blade. Using the Slicing/Shredding Disc may draw signicantly less power. The MFP400 is a 2-in-1 kitchen appliance that is both a food processor and chopper. To change between the two modes, simply choose which blades and which lids to use and add them to the top of the bowl. The Food Processor It has a long food chute which allows you to add a variety of ingredients into the bowl from above whilst a at circular disk rotates and slices/grates the food into the bowl. This is perfect for slicing onions, celery, carrots and grating cheese. The Chopper This element is like a mini-blender; it has a sharp 2-part blade that is inserted into the bottom of the bowl and rotates to evenly chop and blend the ingredients in the bowl to your desired consistency. This is perfect for dicing veg into tiny pieces, pureeing food and also for making sauces.

The bowl can lock onto the base in 3 different positions for the user’s convenience. NOTE: the food processor will not work unless the bowl is locked into position. How to Assemble and Lock the Lid Align the Lid(4 or 7) as illustrated by placing a thumb on the lid and turning it clockwise. Four visual alignment markers are provided: one on the bowl, one on the handle and two on the bowl lid. NOTE: the food processor will not work unless the lid is locked into position.

How to Use (continued)13

4. Place the Chopping Blade(8) onto the motor shaft(9).

5. Plug in the main unit to a mains plug socket.

6. Place the ingredients into the Bowl. For a more uniform result, start with your

food already cut or broken into similar sizes.

7. Next, place Chopper Lid(7) onto the bowl and lock it in place.

8. Use the Control Dial to select the speed. Select between speeds 1 or 2, or for

How to Use (continued) The suction cup feet on the bottom of your Food Processor are designed to keep the appliance stationary during use. Each time you position the machine on your countertop the suction pads will attach to it. To remove the suction cups from the countertop, lift the base from the counter by placing your hands underneath it (as shown) and lift it to one side. One- by-one the suction cups will release. How to Release the Suction Cup Feet After Use14 Cleaning the Main Unit Wipe the main motor unit with a well-wrung damp sponge and then dry with a dry cloth. Cleaning the Attachments Wash all of the attachments - the lids, blade, discs, food pusher - in warm, soapy water. To clean food thoroughly from the bowl and bowl lid/food chute, immerse it in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Ensure all parts are properly dry before re- assembling the appliance. Storage To store, place the bowl on to the base. Then place Chopping Blade on motor shaft and Slicer Disc on top of the Chopping Blade. Place a Lid on Bowl but do not lock. NOTE: Do not store the machine with lid in the locked position; this may put strain on the interlock tab. Cleaning and Maintenance CAUTION: Handle the attachments with care as the blades are sharp. Exercise caution when attaching, removing, cleaning and storing the attachments.15 Troubleshooting Potential Problem Probable Cause / Solution The food processor does not operate on any speed or pulse.

1. Is the machine plugged in? Does the mains socket work ok?

2. Are the bowl, lid and feed chute all locked in place? See section

called ‘Before First Use’ Food is not chopped, sliced or shredded uniformly. Packing too much food in the feed chute, or pushing too hard on the feed pusher may cause the processed food to be irregularly sliced or shredded. Unit stops and will not come back on.

1. Are the bowl and feed chute lid all locked in place? They may

have moved slightly during processing.

2. Is the mains plug socket still working? Check it by plugging in a

working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.

3. Turn the food processor OFF, allow it to stand for 3 to 4 minutes,

then turn back ON. If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Contact the Duronic Customer Care Team for further assistance. Unit has a burning smell. There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odour during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odour or any visible smoke appears, unplug the food processor IMMEDIATELY and contact the Duronic Customer Care Team. Motor seems weak.
