hints
● 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.
● Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If it’s difficult to
process, add more liquid.
● When crushing ice, add 15mls (1tbsp) water to 6 ice cubes. Use the pulse control.
important
● 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.
● 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.
● Don’t process spices - they may damage the plastic.
● The machine won’t work if the liquidiser is fitted incorrectly.
● 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.
● Don’t use the liquidiser as a storage container. Keep it empty before and after
use.
● Never blend more than 1 1 ⁄
2
litres (2pts 12floz) - less for frothy liquids like
milkshakes.

ቲ knife blade/ ታ 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.
hints
knife blade
● Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes
approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.
● Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube whilst the
machine is running.
● When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into 2cm/3/4in.cubes.
● Take care not to over-process.
dough tool
● 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.
● Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may
cause the processor to become unstable.
ቴ 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
.
3 Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the
drive shaft.
4 Add the ingredients.
5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the centre of the lid.
6 Switch on.
hints
● Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room temperature.
● Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease before whisking.
ት 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 . Do not push down
on the canopy, hold by the centre grip.
5 Fit the lid and switch on.
slicing/shredding discs
reversible slicing/shredding discs - thick ቶ,
thin
Use the shredding side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and
foods of a similar texture.
Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes,
cabbage, cucumber, courgette, beetroot and onions.
safety
● Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has
completely stopped.
● Handle the cutting discs with care - they are
extremely sharp
