TIPS

SIMPLICITY
• AUTO button: the motor adapts its speed to the task at hand.
• PULSE button: for more control over the end result.
This is the setting you need for precision chopping or blending.
• Pop soft foods (e.g. meat, fish or soft cheeses) into the freezer for a few minutes to firm them
up before chopping, grating or slicing them in your food processor.
NB. they should be firm, not frozen!
PRACTICALITY
• If you are carrying out several tasks in a row and do not want to spend your whole time
washing up, begin your processing in the mini bowl, then move on to the large one. Start with
the hard, dry ingredients and end with the liquid ones.
• If your appliance starts to vibrate, carefully wash and dry the feet, and check that you have not
exceeded the maximum capacities shown on page 5.
MINI BOWL
• The mini bowl is ideal for processing small amounts. Use it to chop onions or herbs, mince meat,
or whizz up dips, salad dressings and mayonnaise.
• Before chopping fresh herbs, check that both the herbs and the bowl are
perfectly clean and dry. This will ensure that you get the very best results. The herbs will also
keep for longer.
• You can use the mini bowl directly as a serving dish, providing you remember to remove the
metal blade first!
MAIN BOWL
Liquid ingredients: never fill the bowl more than a third full.
Solid ingredients: never fill the bowl more than two-thirds full.
METAL BLADE
• When processing large amounts of meat or vegetables, cut the food into 2-cm pieces.
• If your are chopping meat or fish, use the pulse setting to control the end result.
• For vegetable purées, cut the cooked vegetables into large pieces before putting them in the
bowl with the metal blade. Use the pulse setting first, then switch to continuous mode (AUTO)
until the vegetables reach the desired consistency.
