hints

???When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil into the liquidiser. Then with the machine running, pour the oil into the filler cap and let it run through.

???Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If it???s difficult to process, add more liquid.

???Ice crushing - operate the pulse in short bursts until crushed to the desired consistency.

???Liquids should be allowed to cool to room temperature before blending.

???To ensure the long life of your liquidiser, never run it for longer than 60 seconds. Switch off as soon as you???ve got the right consistency.

???Don???t process spices - they may damage the plastic.

???The machine won???t work if the liquidiser is fitted incorrectly.

???Don???t put dry ingredients into the liquidiser before switching on. If necessary, cut them into pieces; remove the filler cap; then with the machine running, drop them through one by one.

???Don???t use the liquidiser as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after use.

???Never blend more than 11???2 litres (2pts 12floz) - less for frothy liquids like milkshakes.

using the attachments

see chart above for speed of each attachment.

??? knife blade

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.

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.

???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

1Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2Push each beater securely into the drive head .

3Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the drive shaft.

4Add the ingredients.

5Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid.

6Switch 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.

1Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2Fit the knife blade.

3Add ingredients to be processed.

4Fit 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.

5Fit 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.

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

1Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2Holding by the centre grip , place the disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost .

3Fit the lid.

4Choose 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.

5Put the food in the feed tube.

6Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put your fingers in the feed tube.

hints

???Use fresh ingredients

???Don???t cut food too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.

???When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally .

???There will always be a small amount of waste on the plate or in the bowl after processing.

citrus press (if supplied)

Use the citrus press to squeeze the juice from citrus fruits (eg oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits).

???cone

???sieve

to use the citrus press

1Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
