Question 2

How to blend/chop frozen fruits with the MASTERCHEF 370?

Accepted Answer

The MASTERCHEF 370 can definitely blend and process frozen fruits. Here’s how to do it:

Use the metal blade

To chop frozen fruits, use the metal blade (standard blade for chopping). Insert the blade into the blade holder, then pour your frozen fruits into the bowl.

Important recommendations

Never use the pusher at the same time as the blade: manually guide the fruits towards the blade if necessary, but do not insert your fingers into the bowl.
Limit the blending time to 2 minutes maximum for this operation.
Start by breaking the frozen fruits into smaller pieces before putting them in the machine if possible - this makes blending easier and protects the blade.

Question 8

How does the security system with a lock work on the MOULINEX COMPACT CHEF HF405110 food processor?

Accepted Answer

The MOULINEX COMPACT CHEF HF405110 food processor is equipped with a very effective security system with a lock that prevents the operation of the device until all components are correctly assembled and locked. This system combines mechanical locking with electronic detection.

Locking mechanism: The motor block lid (D1) has a locking tab (D1a) that engages in two anchor points: the bowl handle (F1) and the rear column of the base (A1). Locking is achieved by simply turning the lid clockwise after placing it in the initial position with the symbol "open lock" facing the handle. When you perform this rotation, the locking tab gradually engages in both locations, and you must turn until the symbol "locked lock" is facing the handle.

Visual indicators: The lid features clearly marked visual symbols: an open lock in the initial position and a locked lock in the final position. These pictograms allow for a quick check that the locking is correct before each use. An LCD screen (C3) also displays a safety indicator.

Electronic detection system: The device is equipped with sensors that detect the correct positioning of the bowl and the complete engagement of the lid. The device only starts if both conditions are met simultaneously. In case of incorrect bowl positioning or improper lid locking, when you press the Start button, the control panel starts to blink, and the device refuses to start, thus providing protection against dangerous uses.

Unlocking procedure: To remove the lid after use, simply turn the lid assembly counterclockwise to bring the symbol "open lock" facing the handle, then lift the lid.

This dual security system (mechanical and electronic) ensures completely safe use by preventing any risk of ingredient splashes or contact with the rotating blades.
