using the attachments
knife blade/ dough tool
The knife blade is the most versatile of all
the attachments. The length of the
processing time will determine the texture
achieved. For coarser textures use the
pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry
making, chopping raw and cooked meat,
vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing
soups and to also make crumbs from
biscuits and bread. It can also be used
for yeasted dough mixes if the dough
tool is not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.
hints
knife blade
●
Cut food such as meat, bread,
vegetables into cubes approximately
2cm/
3
⁄4in before processing.
●
Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed
tube whilst the machine is running.
●
When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into
2cm/
3
⁄4in.cubes.
●
Take care not to over-process.
dough tool
●
Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the
feed tube whilst the machine is running. Process until a smooth
elastic ball of dough is formed this will take 60 - 90 secs.
●
Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
unstable.
twin beater geared whisk
Use for light mixtures only eg egg whites, cream, evaporated
milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless sponges.
Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage it.
using the whisk
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Push each beater securely into the drive
head .
3 Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it
drops over the drive shaft.
4 Add the ingredients.
5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft
locates into the centre of the lid.
6 Switch on.
important
●
The whisk is not suitable for making one-
stage cakes or creaming fat and sugar
as these mixes will damage it. Always use the knife blade for
cake making.
hints
●
Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room
temperature.
●
Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease
before whisking.
maxi-blend canopy
When blending liquids, use the maxi-
blend canopy with the knife blade. It
allows you to increase the liquid
processing capacity from 1 litre to 1.5
litres, prevents leaking and improves the
chopping performance of the blade.
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Fit the knife blade.
3 Add ingredients to be processed.
4 Fit the canopy over the top of the blade
ensuring it sits on the ledge inside the bowl
. Do not push down on the
canopy, hold by the centre grip.
5 Fit the lid and switch on.
slicing/shredding discs
reversible slicing/shredding discs
- thick , thin
Use the shredding side for cheese,
carrots, potatoes and foods of a similar
texture.
Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots,
potatoes, cabbage, cucumber,
courgette, beetroot and onions.
fine (Julienne style) chipper disc
Use to cut: potatoes for Julienne style
French fries; firm ingredients for salads,
garnishes, casseroles and stir fries (eg
carrot, swede, courgette, cucumber).
rasping disc
Grates Parmesan cheese and potatoes
for German potato dumplings.
safety
●
Never remove the lid until the cutting disc
has completely stopped.
●
Handle the cutting discs with care - they are
extremely sharp
to use the cutting discs
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the
power unit.
2 Holding by the centre grip , place
the disc onto the drive shaft with the
appropriate side uppermost .
3 Fit the lid.
4 Choose which size feed tube you
want to use. The pusher contains a
smaller feed tube for processing
individual items or thin ingredients.
To use the small feed tube - first put
the large pusher inside the feed tube.
To use the large feed tube - use both
pushers together.
5 Put the food in the feed tube.
6 Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put
your fingers in the feed tube.
