G
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.
G
Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If it's difficult to
process, add more liquid.
G
When crushing ice, add 15mls (1tbsp) water to 6 ice cubes. Use the pulse control.
important
G
Allow hot liquids to cool before blending in the liquidiser – if you haven't fitted
the lid securely and it comes off, you could get splashed.
G
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.
G
Don't process spices - they may damage the plastic.
G
The machine won't work if the liquidiser is fitted incorrectly.
G
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.
G
Don't use the liquidiser as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after
use.
G
Never blend more than 1 1 ⁄ litres (2pts 12floz) - less for frothy liquids like

using the attachments

see chart above for speed of each attachment.
knife blade/ dough tool
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 if the dough tool is not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.

Take care not to over-process.
dough tool
G
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 - 90 secs.
G
Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
unstable.
twin beater geared whisk
Use for light mixtures only eg egg whites, cream,
evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for
fatless sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage it.
