Attaching the slicer/grater
blades and the processor blade
Using the processor blade:
Place/insert the processor blade over the
processor drive shaft and push down.
Using the slicer/grater blades:
Place the slicing/grating blade over the
shaft adaptor.
The blade is correctly in place, when the
square opening of the slicer/grater blade
fits over the square shaft adaptor.
How to select the slicing or grating
side of the blade
To select the grater have the raised
grating ridges facing up towards the lid.
To select the slicer have the protruding
side of the slicer blade facing up towards
the lid.
All blades must be handled carefully
as they are sharp!
The Essentials Food Processor will not
operate unless the processing bowl, and
lid are correctly locked into position.
Ensure the speed dial is in the Off (0)
position.
Plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet.
Turn power on.
The processor is now ready to use.
To begin processing/slicing/grating turn
the ‘Power Control Dial’ from the Off (0)
position to either the Low (1) or High (2)
speed, depending on your requirements.
The speed can be changed at any time
during the process.
For short bursts of power, whilst
processing, use the “PULSE” setting.
For slicing and grating – ensure that the
food items you want to slice or grate are
of a suitable size to be fed through the
food chute.
Place the food inside chute and push
down with the ‘food pusher’.
Never push down any foods with your
hands and do not put your hands down
the food chute at any time during
processing.
For using the processing blade – with the
ingredients inside the processor bowl,
start the unit on low speed (1) moving to
the higher speed (2) if necessary. Before
commencing ensure that the ‘food pusher’
is in place to avoid splashing from the
food chute. Ingredients can be added
through the food chute whilst processing.
If ingredients stick to the sides of the
processor bowl during processing, turn
the speed to the Off (0) position, switch
off at the power outlet, then push the
food back onto the blades using a plastic
spatula to scrape down the sides of the
bowl.Then recommence blending.
NOTE: Do not over fill the processor bowl when
mixing liquids – do not fill above the bowls “MAX”
fill line.
When processing is complete, turn to the
Off (0) position.Wait until blades have
stopped r
otating bef
ore removing the lid,
blades or processor bowl.
