KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Always follow these safety precautions when using your food processor, for your own safety and to avoid damaging the processor. · This appliance is designed to operate with an AC power supply. Make sure your network voltage corresponds to the voltage shown on the rating plate underneath the food processor If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. [. . . ] To insert the small bowl the groove must align with the pip on the medium bowl. Use this feature to achieve greater control for delicate foods or for a more even chop. The Auto Pulse feature is perfect for mixing in foods without puréeing the mixture. It also allows you to prepare ingredients for frying or casseroles gently whilst preserving their integrity. When selected the power light flashes, Press again to stop (or press PULSE) If you press START/STOP you will move to constant processing. AUTO PULSE USING THE FEED TUBE CHOPPING TIP: Use Auto Pulse for this process. Try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the bowl is not overloaded. EMULSIFYING EGG WHITES Use the E-disc and a minimum of two/three egg whites for best results. Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, for best results when shredding and grating. Remember that softer foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or Swiss) should be well chilled before processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing. NOTE: When grating Parmesan cheese do not apply a lot of pressure to the food pusher. PREPARING SHORTER SLICES MINCING Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square and use the chopping blade. VEGETABLES When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut large vegetables into smaller evenly sized chunks. LIQUIDS To maximise the capacity of the largest bowl when making soups use the Auto Pulse feature rather than START/STOP button when processing. To start, add the food chunks and use Auto Pulse, gradually adding the liquid through the feed tube. If mixture overflows or fails to blend, stop processing, remove some of the ingredients and process in smaller amounts. MIXING TIP: We recommend using Auto Pulse when adding hole ingredients to a mixture e. g. The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowls will vary with the density of the mixture. WHEN SLICING, SHREDDING AND GRATING DISASSEMBLY When processing is completed. Turn off and dismantle the processor, clean and dry all parts. Store the bowls, medium blade and lid with food pusher assembled on the processor body. Do not lock the bowl lid whilst in storage. This can damage the safety mechanism built into the bowl. NOTE: Always wait for the processing blade to stop moving completely before removing the lid. Warning: Use extreme caution, as blades are sharp. Always handle the chopping blade by its central plastic section. [. . . ] Check the lid or large bowl has not become loose. · · What if the drive shaft is sticking or the motor is struggling to turn the mixture?· The mixture may be too dense, remove some of the mixture and process in batches. Run the motor for no more than 15 seconds allowing for a one minute pause between cycles. This allows the machine to cool down to room temperature before next use. [. . . ]
