PROCESSING TIPS
USING THE BOWLS
Always try and start with the tasks that require the smallest bowl first, so that you are
removing the used bowls instead of putting clean bowls inside dirty ones.
AUTO PULSE
Use this feature to achive greater control for delicate foods or for a more even chop. The
Auto Pulse feature is perfect for mixing in foods without pureeing the mixture. When
selected the power light flashes, Press again to stop (or press pulse) If you press
START/Stop you will move to constant processing.
CHOPPING
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.
MINCING
Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square.
VEGETABLES
When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut large vegetables into
smaller evenly sized chunks.
MIXING
The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowls will vary with the density
of the mixture.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them directly into the
bowl before processing. There is no need to sift ingredients when using your food
processor. 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 container sides with the spatula provided.

USING THE FEED TUBE
The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the way in which the food
is packed into the feed tube.
Note: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always use the food pusher.
For best results when slicing. 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. Preparing longer slices Pack food
items horizontally.
WHEN SLICING, SHREDDING AND GRATING
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.
PREPARING SHORTER SLICES
Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, for best results when shredding and grating.
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.
LIQUIDS
To maximize the capacity of the largest bowl when making soups use the Auto Pulse
feature rather than Start/Stop button when processing. To start, add the food chunks (e.g.
tomatoes) and use Auto Pulse, gradually adding the liquid through the feed tube. If mixture
overflows or fails to blend, stop processing, remove some of the ingredients and process in
smaller amounts.
DISASSEMBLY
When processing is completed. Turn off and dismantle the processor, clean and dry all parts.
Store the bowls, Medium blade and lid with food pusher assembled on the processor body.
Do not lock the bowl lid whilst in storage. This can damage the safety mechanism built into
the bowl.Note: Always wait for the processing blade to stop moving completely before
removing the cover.
