Functions
Removing the large pusher during processing
will stop the motor. The timer will stop, the
INSERT PUSHER icon will be displayed
and the PLAY | PAUSE button will flash.
Ingredients can be added into the lid chute,
and when the large pusher is re-inserted, the
unit will continue to process.
Pressing the PULSE button will cause the
motor to operate only while the button is held
down. Sequential presses will cause the timer
to count up the collective processing time.
This momentary operation is ideal for foods
that need sudden bursts of power to encourage
ingredients to move or be integrated, or with
food types that only require processing for
short periods.
Use a combination of the PULSE and PLAY |
PAUSE buttons for more control when
processing ingredients.
Timer
During operation the timer will count-up from
zero to display the accumulated processing
time. Continuous operation will stop if the
timer reaches 20 minutes (19:59) and the unit
will return to standby mode.
To control the processing duration – press
the up or down arrows to set the timer for any
recipe that requires a specific length of time
the ingredients should be processed. Each
single press will adjust by 5 seconds, holding
the button will adjust in 10 second or higher
increments. The TIMER icon will be displayed
on the screen.
Press PLAY | PAUSE to initiate processing
and the unit will operate as the displayed time
counts down. The motor will run continuously
until the timer reaches zero. Removing the
large pusher or using the pause function will
not aect the set time during processing.
Pressing POWER or PULSE buttons during
operation will clear the timer and return to
standby.
OPERATION
Getting started
The food processor will only operate when
the processing bowl, lid and large pusher are
correctly assembled. This engages the safety
interlock, and allows the motor to run.
The chute has a CHUTE FILL MAX graphic to
indicate the maximum volume of food that can
be placed in the chute for the pusher to activate
the feed chute safety system.
Control Panel
When the machine is connected to the power,
and the POWER button is pressed; the buttons
and screen will illuminate and the food
processor will be ready to operate. Pressing
the POWER button at this stage will turn the
unit o.
Pressing the PLAY | PAUSE button will start
the motor to run continuously, and the timer
will count up to show processing time.
Press PLAY | PAUSE again while processing
and the motor will stop. The timer will stop and
both the pause icon and PLAY | PAUSE button
will flash. Press PLAY | PAUSE to continue
processing or press POWER to return to
standby.
17
After Processing
Wait until the blades or discs have stopped
moving before unlocking the lid. Ensure that
the unit has been turned o using the POWER
button and unplug at the power outlet before
handling the blades or discs.
When removing the blades or discs, lift the part
by carefully gripping the plastic hub area in the
center.
Overload Protection System
The food processor has an overload protection
system to prevent damage to the motor – this
will cause the food processor to go into standby
mode and the OVERLOAD PROTECTION
icon will flash.
Unplug the food processor and allow to cool for
30 minutes.
If the blades or discs stall while processing,
immediately stop the machine, then unplug
from the power outlet before clearing the
wedged ingredients. If this happens more
than once, the bowl may be overloaded. Try
processing in smaller batches.
PEELING WITH THE PEELER
Potato peeling made easy
Take the hard work out of peeling potatoes.
The Breville peeler will peel potatoes in
batches of 6–7, depending on the size. Peeling
is very fast, and may finish quicker than
expected. Keep your eye on progress, and it
should be done in 25–30 seconds.
Size matters
The best size potatoes to use are around 70mm
x 70mm. Choose potatoes that are round,
rather than elongated. Use whole potatoes, as
cutting potatoes into half or quarters creates
square edges that won't peel eciently.
Using rounder potatoes will reduce the amount
of waste.
Loading the potatoes
Position 6–7 potatoes evenly on top of the
peeler. Potatoes should have enough room
to freely roll and rumble. If potatoes are too
tightly packed, the peeling won't be as eective.
Keep in mind that the peeling works best with
a complete batch, and peeling just a couple
of potatoes won't be as ecient. Lock lid in
place before starting, and never insert potatoes
through the chute.
How long to peel
Peeling is very quick, with most potatoes
taking 25–30 seconds. Less time in the peeler
means less waste, but you may have to remove
the eyes by hand with a paring knife. More
time in the peeler will take a thicker layer o,
including most of the eyes.
TIP
The best size potato for the peeling disc is
around 70mm x 70mm. Choose potatoes that
are round, rather than elongated.

For best results use consistent shaped potatoes
IMPORTANT NOTES
For optimal results, position food in the chute
and use the pusher to push food with light
downward force prior to starting the food
processor.
Always use the small or medium size feed
chute for processing hard produce like
pumpkin and sweet potato. Feeding hard
produce through the large feed chute could
cause damage to the discs.
Smaller Ingredients
For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers,
zucchini, etc., use the small or medium feed
chute. This will avoid the ingredient from
tipping over, during slicing.
Larger Ingredients
The wide feed chute is 14cm wide and can fit
ingredients up to this size. The food should fit
snugly so it is supported in an upright position
in the chute, but not so tight that it could
prevent the food from moving down the chute.
Ensure not to overfill the chute, as the pusher
will not activate the interlock safety catch if
the chute is too full. Do not fill over the MAX
indicator.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down
the chute as this can damage the discs. Apply
light, even pressure for soft foods such as
tomatoes and bananas. Apply medium, even
pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes,
cheese, deli meats and apples.
Mini Bowl
The mini processing bowl is used inside the
main processing bowl. It is for better control
when processing small quantities of food, or
herbs. Use the mini-spindle with the mini bowl
and then add the mini-blade for chopping,
mixing and blending a variety of ingredients.
Alternatively, the 'Adjustable Slicing',
Shredding or French Fries discs can be used on
the mini-spindle to process smaller quantities
into the mini bowl.
Dicing kit
Do not dice raw sweet potato/Kumara. Its dry,
hard and fibrous nature may cause damage to
the bowl and lid due to heavy load.
Do not fill the Bowl with ingredients above the
MAX level on the side of the Bowl.
Do not assemble the cutting disc onto the
gearbox without the grid in place.
Always use the Dicing Distributor on the
gearbox.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Due to the harder and more fibrous nature;
DO NOT DICE the following:
•
Cheese
•
Raw sweet potato/kumara.
•
Meat including hard deli meats.
•
Fruit and vegetables with tough skin such as pineapple
and watermelon. These should be peeled first.

Care & Cleaning
Food Pushers
All parts in the pusher stack can be placed in
the dishwasher (top rack).
Motor base
To clean the motor base, wipe with a soft, damp
cloth then dry thoroughly. Wipe any excess
food particles from the power cord.
Dicing Accessories
Follow the assembly instructions for dicing
cleaner. After dicing use the dicing accessory
to clean out residual food.
Dicing accessories can be washed in the
dishwasher excluding the dicing gearbox.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers
on either the motor base or the jug, as they may
scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water
with a soft cloth.
Stubborn food stains and odors
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish and
some vegetables such as carrots may leave an
odor or stain the bowl or lid.
To remove, pour warm soapy water and fill to
the MAX LIQUID mark. Set aside to soak for
5 minutes, without immersing the whole bowl.
Then wash with a mild detergent and warm
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Store the bowl
with the lid o.
Remove the power cord from the power outlet
after use for safety reasons.
Processing bowl and lid
Due to the interlock components, we do not
recommend immersing the bowl in water for
long periods.
To keep your bowl and lid clean, and to avoid
food drying on, follow these steps as soon as
possible after use:
• Rinse most of the ingredients o the bowl
and lid.
• Hand wash in clean warm, soapy water
using a mild liquid detergent and non-
abrasive sponge.
• The processing bowl and lid may
occasionally be washed in the dishwasher
(top shelf only), however washing in the
dishwasher is not recommended on a
regular basis, as prolonged exposure to
harsh detergents, hot water and pressure
will damage and shorten the life of the
plastic and the interlock components.
WARNING
Oils in citrus rind can damage the material
of your food processor bowl if being exposed
to it for a longer period. Always clean your
processing bowl immediately after processing
citrus rind.
Blades and Discs
• Blades and discs are razor sharp, do not
touch. Always use a spatula or brush to
remove food or when cleaning blades.
• Spindle, blades and discs can be washed
in the dishwasher.
21
Storage
Place the large food pusher (with medium and
small pushers inserted) into the feed chute for
storage.
Store your food processor upright, with the
bowl and lid resting in position, but not locked.
Locking the bowl and lid can put unnecessary
strain on the safety interlock.
All accessories should be kept in the storage
container and out of the reach of children to
avoid accidental cuts. It is not recommended to
store the discs in a drawer with other utensils.
Do not place anything else on top of your food
processor during storage.
22
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Food is unevenly
processed
•
Ingredients should be cut evenly into 2.5cm pieces before processing.
•
Ingredients should be processed in batches to avoid overloading.
Slices are slanted
or uneven
•
Place evenly cut food into the feed chute.
•
Apply pressure, then start the machine.
Food falls over in the feed
chute
•
The large feed chute must be packed full for best results.
If processing smaller quantities, place items to the far left in the feed chute,
or use a smaller feed chute, depending on the food size.
Unevenly cut french fries
•
Always clear any blocked potato before processing more potatoes.
Some food remains on top
of the disc after processing
•
It is normal for small pieces to remain after processing.
Motor slows down when
kneading dough
•
Amount of dough must not exceed maximum recommended quantity on the recipe.
Remove half and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too dry. If motor speeds up, continue processing.
If not, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the motor speeds up. Process until
dough cleans the side of the processing bowl.
Dough doesn’t clear inside
of the processing bowl
•
Amount of dough may exceed food processor maximum capacity.
Remove half and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too dry.
Dough nub forms on
top of dough blade and
dough does not become
uniformly kneaded
•
Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them
evenly in the processing bowl.
Dough feels tough
after kneading
•
Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in processing bowl. Process
10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable. Allowing dough to rest allows the gluten
strands to relax and become more pliable.
Dough is too dry
