ታ knife blade/ቴ dough tool
T
he knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The
length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved.
F
or coarser textures use the pulse control.
U
se the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw
and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups
a
nd to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread. It can also be
u
sed for yeasted dough mixes if the dough tool is not supplied.
Use the dough tool for yeasted mixes.
h
ints
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.
ት 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.
important
●
The whisk is not suitable for making one-stage cakes
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.
●
Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease
before whisking.
ቶ maxi-blend canopy
W
hen blending liquids, use the maxi-blend canopy with the knife
b
lade. It allows you to increase the liquid processing capacity
from 1 litre to 1.5 litres, prevents leaking and improves the
c
hopping 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
o
n 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
r
eversible slicing/shredding discs - thick , 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.
fine (Julienne style) chipper disc
Use to cut: potatoes for Julienne style French fries; firm
ingredients for salads, garnishes, casseroles and stir fries (eg
carrot, swede, courgette, cucumber).
safety
●
Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has
completely stopped.
●
Handle the cutting discs with care - they are
extremely sharp
to use the cutting discs
1 Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2 Holding by the centre grip , place the disc onto the drive shaft
with the appropriate side uppermost .
3 Fit the lid.
4 Choose which size feed tube you want to use. The pusher
contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or
thin ingredients.
To use the small feed tube - first put the large pusher inside the
feed tube.
To use the large feed tube - use both pushers together.
5 Put the food in the feed tube.
6 Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher - never put
your fingers in the feed tube.
hints
●
Use fresh ingredients
●
Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube
fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during
processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.
●
When using the chipper disc, place ingredients horizontally.
●
When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out
shorter than food placed horizontally .
●
There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in
the bowl after processing.
