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

⁄2 litres (2pts 12floz) - less for frothy liquids like

milkshakes.

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.

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.

 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.

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.

 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 800mls 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.
