h. When adding the ingredients to the bowl, it
is possible to dose them precisely thanks to
the scales function (see: "SCALES FUNCTION")
however, the set process must be interrupted
earlier (PAUSE).
i. After counting down the time to zero, the
action will be completed. You can stop the
action at any time using the "STOP" button. If
the duration of the action is calculated from
zero, it will automatically end after 90 minutes
j. After completing the process, check the
condition of the food being prepared, or start
a new process with appropriate adjustments
to the parameters.
k. Switch off the appliance with button (9),
disconnect from the mains. Remove the
bowl lid and the bowl. Use the scraper (19) to
empty the contents of the bowl if the nature
of the food requires it.
l. Wait for the appliance and its accessories
to cool down and then clean them
immediately.

PRACTICAL CULINARY TIPS
By following these guidelines you will be able to
use your machine in an optimal way and your
work will bring the best results.
Always grind products (e.g. vegetables, nuts, dry
rolls, coffee and even rice to very small parts
or even powder) at higher speeds of level 8-12. It
is advisable to start with a lower speed
and gradually increase it.
Always perform powdering of products (with
a blade without grating disc) at higher mixing
speeds (9-12). It is advisable to start with a lower
speed and gradually increase it.
Shredding of food (chopping of fruit and
vegetables into small chips) is performed at
medium mixing speeds (4-6). When shredding
cabbage or lettuce it is advisable to add a small
amount of water to the bowl.
During the above operations, do not fill the bowl
above half of its nominal volume. Carry out these
operations using the chop blade (6). Suggested
time is a dozen or so seconds, depending on the
quality, hardness and quantity of the ingredients
being chopped.
Emulsifying food (bringing products into the form
of emulsions e.g. mayonnaise, sauces) can be
done in two ways:
with the whisk (4) (mixing speed 1-4) or without a
mixing tip (mixing speed 5-12). The time depends
on the ingredients of the dish (from 20 seconds to
several minutes).
Whisking (bringing cream or egg white to a firm
consistency) is best done using the whisk (4) at
mixing speeds (2-4). Due to the freshness of eggs,
their size or initial temperature, it is difficult to
indicate a specific processing time. You can take
1 minute at the beginning, check the effect,
then possibly resume the process.
It is best to knead dough using the dough
kneading programme, possibly slightly modifying
its parameters. When kneading light pulps
(pancake batter, sponge cake) we use the
butterfly (4), while for hard pulps (pizza dough,
yeast-based dough) we should work on the stir
paddle.
Fry by increasing the temperature to 130 °C.
Pour the olive oil and wait for it to heat up. For a
uniform degree of frying, use the lowest mixing
speed. After about 2 minutes, check the frying
effect, or extend the process until the
product is in the right form.
For a better chopping or crushing effect
with the knife (e.g. meat or vegetables) it is
recommended to portion the ingredients. A
smaller portion means a more precise chop.
When using the appliance in conjunction with
heating function please be aware that recipes
containing ingredients with high sugar or dairy
contents may leave a thin film of caramelised
deposit (Brown staining) on the bottom of the
bowl during the cooking process " This can easily
be removed after the use of the appliance by
adding equal amounts (approx . 300ml) of
white vinegar & water, heating bowl and
allowing it to steam for a few minutes, turn
the appliance Off and allow mixture to sit
overnight, dispose of mixture in the morning and
immediately rub with a fine scouring pad and
rinse bowl afterwards.
When crushing ice cubes or grinding hard food,
select the Turbo button in short bursts until the
desired result is achieved.
