Frequently Asked Questions - Multi Processor RHMP700 RUSSELL HOBBS

How do I assemble the food processor bowl?

Place the workbowl on the base with the handle to the right of the locking mechanism over the unlock symbol, then rotate clockwise toward the lock symbol until it clicks. Insert the centre post (white for 2L, black for 500ml) by turning counter-clockwise until tabs snap. Attach the desired blade or disc onto the centre post, then lock the cover by rotating clockwise. Finally, attach the wide-mouth feed chute and food pusher.

How do I use the chopping blade?

Lock the workbowl in place, insert the chopping blade onto the centre post (hold by the centre shaft), add food, lock the cover, and select PULSE, LOW, or HIGH. Use short pulses for better control. Never overload the bowl; max 3 cups of liquid or 2 cups of 20mm meat cubes for the 2L bowl. Wait for blade to stop before removing cover.

How do I slice or grate with the disc?

Lock the workbowl, place the disc stem on the centre post, then put the slice/grate disc on the stem with the desired side up. Lock the cover, insert food into the feed chute, and use the pusher. Apply light pressure for soft foods, slightly more for hard foods. Stop and empty the bowl when food accumulates near the disc.

How do I use the blender jug?

Assemble the jug by placing the gasket on the blade assembly, then put it in the jug opening (blades down), screw the jug base on tightly. Place the lid with cap. Put the jug on the power base and rotate clockwise to lock. Add ingredients, select speed (use PULSE for ice). Do not remove lid while running. To remove, push the tab on the base to release.

What are the speeds and when should I use them?

LOW: for reconstituting juices, dressings, pureeing soups, beating eggs, making crumbs, sauces. HIGH: for chopping nuts/vegetables, grinding cheese/spices, baby food, milkshakes. PULSE: for ice crushing, chopping vegetables, thick beverages, smoothies. Hold PULSE for short bursts; release to stop.

How do I clean the food processor?

Turn off and unplug. Disassemble all parts. Wash removable parts by hand in hot soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Wipe the base with a damp cloth. To clean the workbowl, add detergent and hot water and pulse. For stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water.

Why won't the processor turn on?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the workbowl and cover are properly locked in place (the interlock system prevents operation if not locked). For the blender, ensure the jug is securely locked onto the base.

The food is unevenly chopped. What should I do?

Overfilling the bowl or running continuously instead of pulsing can cause uneven results. Use PULSE in 5-second increments. Cut food into uniform pieces before processing. Do not exceed the maximum capacity (2/3 full).

Can I use the dough blade for any recipe?

The dough blade is designed for dough up to 3 1/2 cups of flour. Start with 1 cup less than maximum and add liquid gradually. Knead no longer than 1 minute. The blade does not reach the outer rim, so very small amounts of flour may not be incorporated.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Always unplug when not in use. Do not immerse base in water. Handle blades with care—they are very sharp. Never use fingers to feed food; always use the pusher. Do not operate with damaged cord or plug. Keep away from children. Use on a stable, level surface with proper ventilation.

• Place the wide-mouth feed chute and food pusher in place, turn to lock.

CAUTION: Never use your fingers to direct food through the chute.

- Select your desired speed (PULSE, LOW or HIGH).

NOTE: Process foods for no more than a few seconds at a time. Pulsing produces excellent results and offers greater control.

- Food can be added while processor is running; remove food pusher and insert food through the feed chute. Replace food pusher in chute.

CAUTION: Be sure chopping blade has completely stopped spinning before removing cover from processor.

• Press the OFF/PULSE button and allow blades to stop revolving before removing cover. Twist cover toward 🔒 to remove.
• Unlock workbowl by turning it anti-clockwise and lift off base.

NOTE: Remove bowl from appliance before removing blade to prevent food from leaking through the centre opening of the bowl.

• Carefully remove chopping blade.
• Unplug appliance when not in use.

hELPfuL TIPS for ChOPPING AND BLENDING

• The processor works very quickly. Watch carefully to avoid over-processing foods.
• The PULSE button offers the best control and results. Process using PULSE in 5 second intervals.
• For best results, process foods that are about the same size.
• The large workbowl has a capacity of 2L, and the small workbowl has a capacity of 500ml.
  • Do not overload the bowl.
• Do not process more than 3 cups of liquid in the large workbowl at one time.
• Insert a funnel into the feed chute when adding ingredients such as, oil, flour and sugar.
  • Do not process boiling liquids.
  • To process meat, use no more than 2 cups of 20mm cubes in the large workbowl.

HOW TO uSE The DOuGh BLADE (SAME ASSEMBLy METHOD AS The ChOPPING BLADE)

This blade makes preparing dough efficient and time-saving.

NOTE: This blade does not extend to the outside rim of the workbowl, so it cannot incorporate flour when very small amounts of flour are being processed.

• Push dough blade down as far as it will go into workbowl.
• Insert all the dry ingredients into the workbowl.
• Place cover on workbowl. Add wide-mouth feed chute and food pusher. Process to blend.
• Add liquids through the small feed chute with machine running.

hELPfuL TIPS WhEN uSING ThE DOuGh BLADE

• For best results do not prepare recipes using more than 3 12 cups flour.
• Begin with 1 cup less than the maximum amount of flour and add additional flour once mixture is well blended.
  • Pour liquid through food chute gradually.
• Knead dough no longer than 1 minute.

HOW TO SLICE OR GRATE

• Lock workbowl into position (see Illustrations B and C).
• Place disc stem onto centre post in workbowl.
• Carefully place slice/grate disc on stem with appropriate side up (depending on work to be done).

CAUTION: The blade attachments are very sharp. Use caution when handling and storing.

• Place cover on workbowl and lock into place by rotating cover clockwise (see Illustration D).
• For large size food insert before attaching the chute, then attach chute and use the pusher Fig G(a). For smaller size food, attach cover and feed through using pusher.

NOTE that the pusher clips onto the moving chute tube. Fig G.

- Select PULSE, LOW or HIGH; press firmly on food pusher to guide food through processor, but do not force it.

NOTE: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher only as a guide. Let the processor do the work.

• When finished, press OFF/PULSE and wait for disc to stop rotating before removing cover. Twist cover toward to remove.
• Carefully remove slice/grate disc. Unlock workbowl by turning it counter-clockwise and lifting it off the base.
  • Unplug appliance when not in use.

hELPfuL TIPS WhEN SLICING AND GRATING

• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed chute.
  • Always remove seeds and pits before processing.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.
  • Grate hard cheeses at room temperature.
• Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before grating.
• After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove the slice/grate disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. Place the disc on top of the inverted workbowl cover.

GENERAL TIPS for uSING The FOOD PROCESSOR

• Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.
• The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than 2/3 full.
• To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the food chute with the processor running.
• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and slightly more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or so hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted into the food.
• When chopping dried fruits add a little flour to keep the pieces from sticking together.
• Chill soft cheeses before slicing and grating to prevent the cheese from rolling into a ball on the disc.
• When using the slicing / grating disc do not let the food accumulate too high; stop and empty the workbowl.
• Although plastic parts of the processor are dishwasher safe, wash them by hand to retain their clear appearance.
• To easily clean the workbowl, once empty add a drop of detergent and a little hot water and pulse several times. Rinse before reusing.

• Do not use the processor to:

• Grind bones, grains or hard spices

• Liquefy fruits and vegetables
• Slice warm meat and hard cooked eggs; chill them first.

ASSEMBLy Of The BLENDER JuG

HOW TO uSE The BLENDER

• Make sure appliance is OFF.
- Place foods to be blended into jug.
- Place lid on jug; make sure lid cap is in place.
• Plug power cord into standard electrical outlet.

NOTE: When in use do not leave blender unattended. When using hard foods, such as ice, nuts and coffee beans, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in place.

- Select the speed that best suits your desired task.

NOTE: Use the PULSE button to begin the blending process when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture. Use the PULSE button for several seconds; then release. Releasing the PULSE button automatically turns the blender off.

- Open the lid cap to add ingredients while the blender is running, and drop ingredients through the opening (K).

NOTE: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.

• When finished, press the OFF/PULSE button.
• To remove the jug, using thumb and forefinger, push tab on blender base to the right to release the locking mechanism (L).

hELPfuL TIPS WhEN BLENDING

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 20mm for use in the blender.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jug or the mixture is very thick, press the OFF/PULSE button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jug and to redistribute the food pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.

• Blender should always have lid with lid cap in place when in use.

• Do not place blender jug on base when motor is running.

• The lid cap holds 14 cup liquid and can be used when adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (M).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans make sure blender jug is completely dry.
• When using a PULSE function use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses.
• Use the PULSE button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• When blending hot ingredients always open the lid cap and replace it ajar with the opened side away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use low speed. Do not blend more than 3 to 3 12 cups at a time (N).

• DO NOT place any of the following in the blender:

• Large pieces of frozen foods
• Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
• Bones
• Hard salami, pepperoni
• Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blender jug.)

- Tasks not recommended for the blender:

• Whipping cream
• Beating egg whites
• Mixing dough
• Mashing potatoes
• Grinding meats

- Extracting juice from fruits and vegetables

CARE AND CLEANING

NOTE: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.

• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
- Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
- Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.

• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the processor's appearance.
• If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot soapy water and rapidly raise and lower the cutting blade and discs up and down on the centre shaft.
• If your sink has a sprayer nozzle, you will find it helpful in rinsing the blades.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only – not in or near utensil basket.
• Some staining of parts may occur. Make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda / 1 tablespoon water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
• Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.
• Remove the workbowl cover and blade. Invert an empty 35mm film canister over the hole in the workbowl. Fill with hot, soapy water and allow to soak.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.

NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.

fOOD PROCESSOR
PROBLEM POSSIBLE	CAuSE SOLUTION
Food is unevenly chopped.	Workbowl is overfilled.You may be running the bowl continuously instead of using PULSE.Food may be cut in random sizes.	Smaller amounts will process more evenly.Use the PULSE button in 5 second increments or less. Allow the blades to stop completely before pressing the PULSE button again.Cut food in same size pieces before placing in processor.
Liquid leaks from the bottom of the workbowl.	Too much liquid in the workbowl.	Process smaller amounts.When processing liquids, do not add more than 3 cups to workbowl.Do not remove the blade before removing workbowl from processor when processing liquids.
Sliced foods are uneven and slanted.	The feed chute has not been well packed or uneven pressure has been applied to the food pusher during processing.	Cut pieces in even lengths, just a little shorter than the length of the feed chute.Pack the chute carefully and\maintain even pressure on the food pusher as the food is being processed.
Foods being sliced or grated fill up on one side of the bowl.	This is normal. Stop processing	occasionally and either, even out the food in the workbowl or move it to another bowl.When food accumulates close to the disc, empty the workbowl before continuing.
Some pieces of food remain on top of the slice/grate disc.	This is normal. Slice or grate those	pieces by hand or save for another use, like soups that will be pureed.
Soft cheese collects on top of the slice/grate disc.	The cheese was not cold enough. The pressure exerted on the pusher was too great.	Be sure soft cheeses are well chilled or place in freezer until knife inserted into cheese penetrates about 12mm.Remember food pusher is to be used as a guide; never exert hard pressure on the food pusher.
BLENDER
PROBLEM POSSIBLE	CAuSE SOLUTION
Jug bottom does not come off the jug.	A vacuum has been formed. Place the jug on the blender, hold the base steady and turn counter clockwise until jug is released from the bottom.
Liquid is leaking from bottom of jug.	Gasket is either missing or not in place correctly.	Check that jug is assembled correctly.
Appliance does not turn on.	Appliance is not plugged in jug is not in place.	Check that appliance is plugged into a working outlet. Blender jug must be securely in place.
Mixture in blender does not seem to be blending.	Not enough liquid in mixture being blended or too much ice.	Turn the blender off and use a rubber spatula to redistribute the food; add some liquid and pulse the mixture to aid in the blending process.
