Your food processor is designed to create great resultsand to make life easy for you, but it is important thatyou get to know what it can do and why it is designedin this way.

Deliberately weighty, the commercial grade inductionmotor adjusts power to keep the speed constant, at thesetting you have selected.

Non-slip sucker feet keep the processor firmly in place.

The control knob has three settings: Off ‘‘OO’’, continuously On ‘‘II’’ and intermittent Pulse ‘‘PPUULLSSEE’’.

The fixing on top of the main body is the bowl drive.The large bowl locates on the bowl drive and locks inplace. The medium and small bowls then fit inside thelarge bowl.

The lid locates on the large bowl, rotates through 30°and locks in place (the processor won’t start unless thelid is locked on).

A large feeder tube makes it easy to add ingredientswhilst the motor is running. Use the food pusher whendoing this; it also doubles as a liquid measure with lid.

Large bowl

Use this bowl for all liquids (it has a sealed drive). It offers the maximum working capacity, andneeds to be in place before you can use either of the other two bowls.

Air vol: 3.25L.

Medium bowl

Use this as a secondary bowl, to keep the large bowl clean and ready for your next job. This is also the best bowl when using slightlysmaller quantities. (see chart on page 11)

Air vol: 2.6L.

Small bowl

Perfect for everyday processing tasks like chopping herbs or puréeing baby food. The small bowl must sit inside the mediumbowl.

Air vol: 1.0L.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BOWL FOR THE TASK

PREPARATION

• Position the processor close to a power socket with enough space around it for ingredients, bowls and accessories. It must be at least 15cm from the edge of the table or counter, with the control knob facing you. Press down on the main body so that the sucker feet hold it securely in position.

2009.02.18_DFPGB MANUAL.qxp 19/02/2009 15:20

• You will always need to put the large bowl in place first, no matter what you intend to do. Hold the large bowl with the handle pointing to the right (3 o’clock), position it onto the bowl drive and turn it clockwise by 90° (6 o’clock) until you hear and feel it lock in place

• If you want to use the medium bowl, insert this into the large bowl; it will self-locate

• If using the small bowl, you will also need to use the medium bowl & drive shaft. These must be put ontothe bowl drive before the small bowl is inserted

• The small bowl fits into the medium bowl. Wheninserting it into the bowl you will need to rotate the small bowl until the tabs on the medium bowl locatein the slots on the small bowl (See diagram on page 14)

• 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

THE LARGE BOWL CAN BE REMOVED FROM THEMAIN BODY WITH OR WITHOUT THE LID LOCKEDIN PLACE.

• Rotate the control switch to the ‘Off’ position

• Unlock the lid prior to removing the large bowl

• Hold the large bowl with the handle pointing to the right (6 o’clock), turn it anti-clockwise by 90° (3 o’clock) until you hear and feel it unlock.

HANDLE BLADES USING ONLY THE CENTRE PLASTIC SECTION.

There is a different sized chopping blade for each bowl;make sure you choose the right one.

• The large chopping blade locates directly onto the bowl drive, once the large bowl is locked in place

• The medium chopping blade also locates directly onto the bowl drive, once both large and medium bowls are in place

• The small chopping blade needs to be used with the drive shaft. This must be attached to the bowl drive once the large and medium bowls are in place, but before the small bowl is inserted

• Always hold chopping blades by the plastic centre section, being careful not to touch the sharp edges

• Don’t add your ingredients until your chopping blade is in place

• Cut large ingredients into uniform pieces no larger than 2.5cm2

• Ensure meat is very cold but not frozen and use short pulses for greater control whilst chopping.

The dough blade can only be used with the large bowl.It has a mixing/kneading action.

• Place the dough blade directly onto the bowl drive, once the large bowl is in place

CHOPPING BLADES

2009.02.18_DFPGB MANUAL.qxp 19/02/2009 15:20

ONLY USE THE FOOD PUSHER TO PUSH INGREDIENTS DOWN THE FEEDER TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR HANDS.

• When using these discs, the orientation of the ingredients in the feeder tube will determine the waythey cut. Stacking items vertically will produce discs and horizontal stacking will produce the longest strips or slices

• If you position the disc so that the cutting edge is away from the feeder tube, then the disc will start cutting as soon as you turn the processor on

• Apply a gentle downward pressure on the pusher to guide food onto the cutting disc. Too much pressurewill lead to uneven cutting.

• The cut ingredients may build up on one side of the bowl, in which case stop the processor and use the spatula to distribute them evenly

• Occasionally small pieces of your ingredients may be left on the disc, uncut. These can be hand chopped and added to your mixture

• You cannot grate soft ingredients. Chill chocolates and cheeses before using in the processor.

• Pack the ingredients into the feeder tube

• When using the processor with these discs, push the ingredients down the feeder tube using the food pusher.

HANDLE WITH CARE WHEN ADJUSTING,THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP

The adjustable slicing disc can only be used with thelarge and medium bowls. It creates any slice thicknessbetween 0.5mm and 7.5mm. It must be attached to thedrive shaft.

• To adjust the slicing thickness, rotate the outer spindle on the underside of the disc anti-clockwise tomake the slices thicker, or clockwise to make them thinner

• The adjustable slicing disc is then attached to the drive shaft with the cutting edge uppermost

• The lid is locked on, the ingredients gently packed into the feeder tube and the food pusher used to push the ingredients through the cutter.
