1. Unplug the Appliance: Ensure your Moulinex La Moulinette food processor is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

This image displays the Moulinex La Moulinette Blade MX059, also identified as A10B03, in its original packaging. The blade is made of stainless steel and is designed for chopping and grinding tasks within compatible Moulinex La Moulinette food processors, specifically models D56 and R68.

Operating Instructions

The Moulinex La Moulinette Blade MX059 is designed for chopping, mincing, and grinding various food items. Always refer to your main Moulinex La Moulinette food processor manual for detailed operating instructions, as this blade functions as an accessory to that appliance.

• Food Preparation: Cut larger food items into smaller, manageable pieces before placing them in the processing bowl.
• Do Not Overfill: Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated on your processing bowl. Overfilling can strain the motor and reduce chopping efficiency.
• Pulse Function: For best results and to achieve desired consistency, use the pulse function on your food processor. This allows for better control over the chopping process.
• Processing Time: Process food for short durations. Over-processing can turn food into a paste or liquid, depending on the item.
• Hard Ingredients: Avoid using the blade for extremely hard ingredients like coffee beans, spices, or frozen foods unless your main appliance manual specifically states it is suitable.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Moulinex La Moulinette Blade MX059.

1. Unplug Before Cleaning: Always unplug the food processor from the power outlet before disassembling for cleaning.
2. Remove Blade: Carefully remove the blade from the processing bowl by holding the plastic hub.
3. Hand Washing: Wash the blade immediately after use to prevent food from drying onto it. Use warm, soapy water and a brush to clean the sharp edges. Exercise extreme caution due to the sharpness of the blades.
4. Dishwasher Safety: Consult your main appliance manual regarding dishwasher safety for the blade. If dishwasher safe, place it on the top rack away from other items to prevent damage.
5. Drying and Storage: Thoroughly dry the blade before storing it. Store the blade safely, preferably in its original packaging or a blade cover, to protect the edges and prevent accidental injury.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Moulinex La Moulinette Blade MX059, consider the following common solutions:

• Blade Not Chopping Effectively:
  • Ensure the blade is correctly seated on the central shaft.
  • Check if the food pieces are too large or if the bowl is overfilled. Reduce quantity or cut food into smaller pieces.
  • Inspect the blade for dullness or damage. A dull blade may need replacement.
• Appliance Not Starting:
  • Verify that the appliance is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Ensure the processing bowl and lid are correctly assembled and locked into place. Safety interlocks prevent operation if not properly secured.
  • Confirm that the blade is installed correctly.
• Unusual Noise or Vibration:
  • Check for any foreign objects in the bowl.
  • Ensure the blade is properly installed and not loose.
  • Reduce the amount of food being processed.

If problems persist after following these steps, consult the main instruction manual for your Moulinex La Moulinette food processor or contact customer support.
