to use the food processor
1 Fit the bowl onto the processor base - handle towards the back - lower and
turn clockwise until it locks firmly into place .
2 Add an attachment over the food processor drive.
●
Always fit the bowl and attachment onto the machine before adding ingredients.
3 Fit the lid onto the bowl - feed tube towards the back of the machine . Turn
clockwise until the arrow on the lid aligns with the raised line on the body of the
processor .
●
Failure to correctly fit the lid will prevent your food processor
from operating.
4 Switch on by moving the on/off lever to ‘I’ and process until the desired
consistency is achieved OR use the pulse button to operate the tool fitted to the
bowl in a start/stop action. The pulse button operates the motor and keeps it
running for as long as the button is held down. This will allow you to control the
texture of various foods eg when processing meat.
5 Reverse the above procedure to remove the bowl, lid and attachments.
●
The lid can only be removed when the on/off switch is in the ‘0’ position.

using the attachments
knife blade
This blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The texture you get is
determined by the length of processing time. For coarser textures use the
‘pulse’ feature checking the consistency regularly.

cubes, place into the bowl and operate for approximately 10 seconds or until
the desired texture is achieved. The longer you run the machine the smoother
the texture will be.
Cooked meat
Follow the method for raw meat but process for a shorter time.
Vegetables
Cut the vegetables into pieces approximately 2.5cm/1in in size. Process foods
having a similar texture together eg harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes
or softer ones like mushrooms, tomatoes or cooked vegetables.
Biscuit and breadcrumbs
Drop pieces down the feed tube whilst the machine is operating.
Shortcrust pastry and scones
Put the flour into the bowl. Use fat straight from the refrigerator and cut into
2cm/

care not to overprocess. Leave the machine running and add the liquid down
the feed tube. Process until one or two balls of pastry are formed. Chill before
use.
Soups
Purée soups either before or after cooking. Drain the ingredients and place into
the bowl with a small quantity of liquid from the recipe. Process until the desired
consistency has been reached, then add to the remainder of the liquid.
Nuts
Chop nuts for cakes and biscuits by placing into the bowl and processing until
the desired consistency is obtained.
