The stainless steel processing blade is contoured to fit the shape of the processing bowl to provide the most efficient chopping/ mixing action.
Please ensure that the processing blade protective cover is placed on the processing blade when not in use.
The processing blade can be used to chop raw meats to mince, chocolate to crumbs and nuts to paste.
The dough blade is contoured for fast, efficient processing. It is ideal for mixing doughs, heavy cake mixes and batters.
The blade holding disc houses the various processing attachments – slicing, chipping, grating and shredding.
The thick slicing blade is ideal for slicing a variety of fruits and vegetables. The thin slicing blade is ideal for slicing of fruits, vegetables, raw meats, chicken and deli meats like salami.
The chipping blade is ideal for making potato chips and vegetable strips.
The grating blade is ideal for grating hard cheeses, especially parmesan.
The coarse shredding blade is ideal for a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The fine shredding blade is ideal for chocolate, ginger and garlic and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The whisk attachment is ideal for whisking egg whites, creams, light batters and packet cake mixtures.
This attachment is only available with the MultiProcessor Plus (LC6950).
When the blender is not in use, it is recommended that the blender is removed from the food processor body and the safety cover is locked in place. The MultiProcessor Plus will not operate unless the safety cover or blender jug is locked in place.
This attachment is only available with the MultiProcessor Plus (LC6950).
The citrus juicer sits inside the processing bowl (without the spindle) to filter pips and pulp pieces during juicing.
The citrus juicer attachment enables you to juice all types of citrus fruits from limes and lemons to oranges and grapefruit.
The spatula is ideal for assisting with all food processing tasks.
Note: The MultiProcessor Plus processing bowl will not operate if the safety cover or blender jug are not in place.
The following steps are for both models LC6250 and LC6950.

If the processing bowl and cover are not correctly assembled, the MultiProcessor will not function.
Note: For maximum control when using your food processor, load the feed tube before turning on your food processor. Always use the food pusher for more evenly processed foods and never use your fingers.
When mixing a heavy load, ie. '1.5kg Dough' do not operate food processor for more than 1 minute at a time.
Note: All attachments must be firmly attached to the spindle. Always adjust the attachments until you are sure that they are correctly fitted.
Note: After cleaning, always replace the protective cover on the stainless steel processing blade.
Note: For added safety we recommend that you always leave the food pusher in place whilst operating the processor.
Note: This attachment is only available with the MultiProcessor Plus (LC6950).
Note: Always operate the juicer at minimum speed only.
Note: This feature is only available with the MultiProcessor Plus (LC6950).
Tip: Further ingredients can be added whilst blending by pouring through the lid hole once the measuring cup has been removed.
The Sunbeam MultiProcessor was designed so that all attachments can be stored within the unit itself, see Figure 22.

Use extreme caution as blades are sharp. Always handle the chopping blade by its central plastic section.
The power cord can be stored by wrapping it around the two clips on the back of the motor base, see Figure 30.

For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform.
More consistent processing results are achieved if the container is not overloaded.
Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square.
When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut large vegetables into eighths.
The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowl will vary with the density of the mixture.
When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them directly into the processing bowl before processing. There is no need to sift ingredients when using your MultiProcessor. Liquid ingredients may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the feed tube in the processor cover.
Note: When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food processor and scrape down the bowl sides with the spatula provided.
The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the way in which the food is packed into the feed tube.
Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the feed tube. Pack the feed tube and, while holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. The more firmly you push, the thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use excessive force or you may damage the food processor.
Note: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the food pusher.
The feed tube should always be packed firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food pusher and the blade.
Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube, see Figure 31.
Fig 31
Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see Figure 32.
Fig 32
Remember that softer foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well chilled before processing. Harder foods such as parmesan or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing.
Note: When grating parmesan cheese do not apply a lot of pressure to the food pusher.
When processing is completed, remove the cover from the processing bowl first and then remove the processing bowl with the processing blade still in place.
To remove the processing bowl firstly unlock the processing bowl cover by rotating it in a clockwise direction until the cover is unlocked.
Note: Always wait for the processing blade to stop moving completely before removing the bowl cover.
Use extreme caution, as blades are sharp. Always handle the chopping blade by its central plastic section.
