USING

• Lift the motor unit off the bowl. Lift the processing lid off the bowl.
• Lower the blade unit over the spindle in the bottom of the bowl. You may have to turn it slightly, to fit over the flanges on the spindle. It's spring-loaded, so you'll feel some resistance as you push it down.
• Put the food in the bowl.
• Align the central hole in the processing lid with the top of the blade unit, and lower the lid on to the bowl.
• Lower the motor unit on to the processing lid. You may have to turn it slightly, to engage the top of the blade unit.

• Press the switch to start the motor, release it to switch off.
