Food Processor Accessory
The food processor accessory (13) can be used for:
• Chopping, blending and mixing light batter;
• kneading dough (based on max. 250 g flour);
• slicing, shredding, julienning, and making french
fries.
Chopping (F)
Using the blade (13h) you can chop meat, hard
cheese, onions, herbs, garlic, vegetables, bread,
crackers, and nuts.
Refer to the Processing Guide F for maximum
quantities, recommended times and speeds.
Before Use
• Pre-cut foods into small pieces for easier
chopping.
• Remove any bones, cartilage, tendons and
gristle from meat to help prevent damage to the
blades.
• Remove stems from herbs, shell nuts.
• Make sure the anti-slip rubber ring (13g) is
attached to the bottom of the food processor
bowl.
Assembly and Operation
• Carefully remove the plastic cover from the
blade.
• The blade (13h) is very sharp! Always hold it by
the upper plastic part and handle it carefully.
• Place the blade on the center pin of the bowl
(13f). Press it down and give it a turn so that it
locks into place.
• Fill the bowl with food. Attach the lid (13a) to the
bowl with the latch (13e) positioned to the right of
the bowl handle and align with marks.
• To lock the lid, turn it clockwise so that the latch
engages with a click.
• Insert the motor part (4) into the coupling (13b)
until it locks.
• Plug in the appliance and insert the pusher (13c)
in the feed tube (13d).
• To operate the food processor, switch on the
appliance. During processing, hold the motor
part with one hand and the food processor bowl
on the handle.
• When chopping is complete, unplug and press
the release buttons (5) to detach the motor part.
• Press the lid latch (13e) and hold it. Turn the lid
(13a) counter-clockwise to unlatch it.
• Lift the lid up. Carefully take out the blade before
pouring out the contents of the bowl. To remove
and unlock the blade, slightly turn it then pull it
off.
Caution
• Do not use the food processor accessory to
chop extremely hard foods, such as unshelled
nuts, ice cubes, coffee beans, grains or hard
spices e.g. nutmeg. Processing these foods
could damage the blades.
• Never place the food processor bowl in the
microwave oven.
Using the blade (13h), you may also mix light batter
like a pancake batter or a cake mixture based on up
to 250 g of flour.
Recipe Example: Pancake Batter
375 ml milk
250 g plain flour
2 eggs
• Pour milk into the bowl, then add flour and finally
the eggs.
• Using full speed, mix the batter until smooth.
Kneading Dough (F)
Figure F also applies for the use of the kneading
hook (13i). The kneading hook is ideal for kneading
different dough types such as yeast or pastry.
Assembly and Operation
• Place the kneading hook on the center pin of the
bowl (13f). Press it down and give it a turn so that
it locks into place.
• Fill the bowl with flour (max. 250 g), then add the
other ingredients except the liquids.
• Turn the appliance on with ¾ way pressure on the
Smart Speed switch.
• Add liquids through the feed tube while the motor
is running.
NOTE: Maximum kneading time: 1 minute – then
allow the motor to cool down for 10 minutes.
Recipe Example: Pizza dough
250 g plain flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp dried yeast
5 tbsp olive oil
150 ml water (lukewarm).
• Put all ingredients except water into the bowl and
start kneading.
• Add water through the feed tube wihle the motor
is running.
Recipe Example: Sweet Pastry
250 g plain flour
170 g unsalted butter (cold/hard, small pieces)
80 g sugar
1 vanilla sugar
1 small egg
1 pinch salt
• Put butter and sugar into the bowl and start
kneading. For good results use cold butter.
• Add flour and the rest of the ingredients.
• Dough will become too soft from over kneading.
Stop kneading shortly after dough has formed a
ball.
• Cool down the dough in the refrigerator for half
an hour before proceeding.
