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.
●
When crushing ice use the pulse in short bursts.
important
●
Allow all liquids to cool to room temperature before
placing them in the liquidiser.
●
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 1.2 litres - less for frothy liquids like
milkshakes.

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.
dough
●
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 secs.
●
Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
unstable.
emulsifying tool / whisk
Use for egg whites and cream only.
hints
●
Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room
temperature.
●
Ensure the bowl and whisk are clean and free from grease before
whisking.
slicing/shredding discs
To use the discs.
reversible slicing/shredding discs - thick
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
