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.

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.
using the whisk
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2 Push each beater securely into the drive head

important
The whisk is not suitable for making one-stage cakes
G
or creaming fat and sugar as these mixes will damage
it. Always use the knife blade for cake making.
hints
Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.
G
Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease before
G
whisking.
maxi-blend canopy
When blending liquids, use the maxi-blend canopy with the knife
blade. It allows you to increase the liquid processing capacity from
1 litre to 1.5 litres, prevents leaking and improves the chopping
performance of the blade.
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2 Fit the knife blade.
3 Add ingredients to be processed.
4 Fit the canopy over the top of the blade ensuring it sits
on the ledge inside the bowl
canopy, hold by the centre grip.
