Tips - chopping
• Pre-cut large pieces into cubes of about 3 x 3 x 3 cm.
• Avoid overprocessing due to excessive operation.
• If food should get caught around the metal blade, or
when particles of food should stick to the inside of
the bowl:
- first switch the appliance off,
- take the cover (with motor unit) from the bowl
- and remove the food from the metal blade or from
the bowl using the spatula.
• Do not chop very hard ingredients, such as coffee
beans, nutmeg, grains, hard dried herbs (e.g.
turmeric, cardamom and ice cubes: these would
blunt the metal blade.
• Process large quantities of dry parsley. Ensure that
the bowl is also dry.
• If you wish to chop just a few cloves of garlic, drop
these through the funnel on the rotating metal blade.
Ensure that the garlic and the bowl are dry.
• Ensure that hard cheese (e.g. matured gouda,
parmesan, pecorino) is at room temperature.
Take care not to keep the motor running too long:
then the cheese could get warm and turn lumpy.
• Ensure that half hard cheese (e.g. new and semi
matured gouda, emmenthaler, gruyère is as cold as
possible.
• Put sticky candied and dried fruit (e.g. dates, figs,
prunes) into the deep freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Add a tea spoon of flour before chopping.
Tips - mixing / blending
• Do not mix or blend too long to avoid excessive
foam.
• Do not mix or blend more fluid than 0.75 litre.

• Do not mix or blend fluids hotter than 80 °C.
• When making dough for shortbread or for puff
pastry use as little liquid as possible. This will make
the dough easier to roll out. First put the flour into
the bowl and then the other ingredients. Always use
cold hard butter or margarine.
Tips - puréeing
• Vegetables and fruits can be puréed without
additional liquid.
With some extra liquid, however, the results will be
finer.
• First purée hard and tenacious ingredients. Then add
the soft ingredients.
Slicing or shredding with the insert holder disc
f
and changeable inserts
• Take care: the cutting edge is very sharp!
