PURÉEING WITH THE QUAD BLADE
®
The micro-serrated Quad blade purées raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, including
baby food. The blades process very efficiently,
and cut the time needed to puree many tasks.
MIXING WITH THE QUAD BLADE
®
The Quad blade mixes ingredients for cakes,
batters, and cookie doughs.
The Quad blade can also emulsify egg-based
sauces such as mayonnaise.
Pastry dough
Place flour and chilled, cubed butter into the
processing bowl.
Do not process more than 3L cups (500g)
of flour using the START / PAUSE button
in intervals until the butter is absorbed into
the flour.
Steadily add liquid through the small feed
chute with the motor still running.
Process until the mixture forms a ball.
KNEADING WITH THE
DOUGH BLADE
Always remember to place the dough blade into
the processing bowl before adding the food. The
edges of the plastic dough blade create a softer
action for combining dough ingredients.
The dough blade encourages the gluten strands
to be stretched rather than cut, and should be
used for all yeast doughs, and any other doughs
that require kneading.
Do not process more than 3 cups (500g)
of flour or using the START / PAUSE button
in intervals.
Steadily add liquid (including oil, if applicable)
through the small feed chute with the motor still
running. Process until the mixture until it forms
a soft, elastic dough ball.
If processing more than two batches of dough
(500g each), allow the motor base to cool for
an extended period (approx.30 min) before
subsequent kneading to prevent the motor
from overloading.
SLICING, GRATING
AND SHREDDING
IMPORTANT
The spindle must be used with both
the adjustable slicer and the reversible
shredder/grater.
14
Adjustable slicer
The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even
and consistent thickness. It can be adjusted
to 24 settings, from very fine (0.3mm) to thick
(8.0mm). To adjust the slicing thickness, hold
the adjustable slicing disc by the outer edge
with one hand, keeping hand away from blade,
and turn the adjustment dial on the underside
with the other hand. An arrow graphic indicates
the thickness of the slice you have chosen.
Reversible grater and shredder
This disc has an array of small blades on both
sides of the disc. Align the disc so larger holes
face up for courser textured results, or with the
smaller holes facing up for finer results. The
discs are labelled showing which side faces up.
CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS
For optimal results, position food in the chute
and use the pusher to apply light downward
force prior to starting the food processor.
Always use the small or medium size feed
chute for processing hard produces like
pumpkin and sweet potato. Feeding hard
produces through the large feed chute could
cause damage to the discs.
Smaller ingredients
For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers,
zucchini, etc., use the small or medium feed
chute. This will avoid the ingredient from tipping
over during slicing.
Larger ingredients
Take care not to overfill the chute, as the pusher
will not activate the interlock safety catch if the
chute is too full. Do not fill over the MAX CHUTE
FILL graphic.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down
the chute as this can damage the discs.
Cheese
Caution should be taken when processing
cheese in a food processor. For soft cheese
such as mozzarella, partially freeze it until firm.
This will help prevent jamming the disc.
Round cheeses such as mozzarella should be
trimmed at one end to encourage them to sit flat
in the feed chute with the disc starts.
Hard cheeses such as parmesan must be
checked first to ensure they are not too
hard (to avoid damaging blade edges).
The cheese should slice easily with a sharp
knife and remove the rind before processing.
Wedged shaped cheeses such as parmesan
can be packed side by side to form
a rectangular shape in the chute.
Chocolate
Break a block of chocolate into small pieces,
and chill until firm. Pack into the small
or medium feed chute, and then shred.
WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the bowl
and lid. When processing citrus rind
clean out bowl and lid immediately
after processing. Do not soak parts
in hot water.
