E. MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Chopping
• You can use your machine for a wide range of chopping tasks, including chopping meats, fi sh,
fruits, vegetables, cheeses and nuts.
• Set up your chosen bowl and the appropriate mixing/chopping blade. For raw ingredients: peel,
core and/or remove seeds and pips. For best results ensure that the pieces of food you add to the
work bowl are approximately the same size, i.e. 2.5cm cubed.
• Add ingredients and pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the fi nest chop, either hold
the 'PULSE' down or press 'HIGH' or 'LOW' to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients
closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
• High speed is recommended for most chopping.
WARNING: Never try to process ingredients that are too hard to cut with a knife. You may damage
the blade or the appliance.
Mixing
• You can produce dips, dressings, sauces, cake mixture, bread dough, pastry and crumble
toppings.
• Set up your chosen bowl and the appropriate mixing/chopping blade.
• Add ingredients to the selected work bowl and use the 'PULSE' function or 'LOW' speed
(recommended for making doughs and batters).
• Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
• Liquids can be added through the feed tube while the machine is running.
Puréeing/Blending
• Set up your chosen bowl and the appropriate mixing/chopping blade.
• Ingredients should be cut into 2.5cm pieces; a smooth purée is best achieved when all the pieces
are of equal size.
• Pulse to initially chop and then process 'HIGH' or 'LOW' until food is puréed/blended; scrape the
work bowl as necessary.
N.B. Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes. They develop a gluey texture when
processed with the metal blade.
• Purée solid ingredients and add any liquids slowly via the feed tube as required.
Slicing
• Use the slicing discs for perfect 2mm or 4mm slices.
• Set up your chosen slicing disc with the large work bowl and fi t the work bowl cover.
• Turn the machine onto 'HIGH' .
• Ensure the pusher accessory is removed, then place the food into the feed tube. For best results,
always pack food evenly into the tube. Ingredients should fi t snugly, but not so tightly that it
prevents the pusher accessory from moving.
• Using the pusher accessory, slowly push the food down the feed tube until it makes contact with
the disc and is sliced.
N.B. The position of the food in the feed tube will determine the shape and size of the slices. For
example, if you insert a whole carrot vertically you will get round slices. To change the shape and
size of the slices change the position of the food in the feed tube.
The type/texture of the food will dictate the amount of pressure required. Use light pressure
