• Do not use metal utensils, as they may damage
the blades or blender jug.
• Do not blend a heavy mixture for more than
10 seconds. For normal blending tasks, do not
blend longer than 1 minutes at a time. If you
need to blend longer, turn off the blender and
stir ingredients before starting again. This rest
will help protect the motor from wear and tear.
• The blender will not knead dough, or
mash potatoes.
• When blending warm ingredients, do not put
more than 2 cups at a time in.
• Do not blend hot or boiling ingredients.
Allow food to cool down to a warm state before
placing in the blender. This is to safeguard
against sudden bursts of steam that could
cause the lid to dislodge.
• If blending warm ingredients, place a tea towel
over the lid and hold down firmly.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM
• The motor is protected from burning out by
an automatic cut-out switch. If the appliance
is overloaded or operated continuously for too
long, the motor may overheat and stop.
• Unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, you will be able to use the food
processor as usual again.
• Note that some stiff mixtures (such as bread
dough) may cause the blade to rotate more
slowly than normal. If this happens, do not
process for more than 1 minute.
• If the blades or discs jam with food while
processing, immediately and unplug from
the power outlet before clearing the wedged
food. If this happens more than once, the
bowl may be overloaded. Try processing in
smaller batches.
PEELING POTATOES WITH
THE PEELER DISC
• Size and shape matter when using the peeler
disc. Choose round (rather than long) potatoes,
and aim for approximately 65mm in diameter.
There is a size guide at the front of this
instruction book.
• Place the peeler over the spindle. Position
peeler with curved side up, and supporting ribs
facing down.
• With the lid still off, evenly space the potatoes
around the disc. Peeling works best when
the peeler is fully loaded, making sure that
potatoes are in a single row around the edge.
Do not stack or cram additional potatoes in, as
they need space to roll.
• Use whole potatoes only, do not use potatoes
that have been cut in half or quarters.
• Place and lock the lid before peeling, and never
insert potatoes through the chute.
• Keep your eye on the potatoes during peeling,
as they may finish more quickly than expected.
For minimum waste, there may be some eyes
remaining, which can be removed with a
paring knife.
CHOPPING WITH THE QUAD
®
BLADE
The micro-serrated Quad blade chops raw and
cooked food to the consistency required, from
coarsely chopped to minced. The blades process
very efficiently, and may take less time than
expected to process many large tasks.
Always remember to place the spindle and Quad
blade into the processing bowl before adding
the food.
Avoid over-processing by checking the
consistency frequently. For many tasks, we
recommend using the PULSE button, as it may
only take a few seconds to fully process food to
your desired consistency.
If necessary, turn the POWER off and use a
spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to
encourage even processing.
