3. Placement: Place the motor unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
4. Assembling the Bowl: Choose the desired bowl (large or small). Place it onto the motor unit and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place. The appliance will not operate if the bowl is not correctly locked.
5. Inserting Attachments: Insert the desired attachment (e.g., chopping blade, kneading tool, or disc holder with a disc) onto the central spindle inside the bowl.

5. Operating Instructions

The FX3030 features a pre-set speed function and a pulse setting for precise control.

General Operation:

• After assembly, add your ingredients to the bowl. Do not overfill.
• Select the desired speed using the speed dial. The pre-set speed function helps achieve consistent results.

• To add ingredients during operation, use the feed tube and pusher.
• Always wait for the blades/discs to stop completely before removing the lid or bowl.

Specific Functions:

• Chopping/Mincing: Use the stainless steel blade in either bowl. For best results, process ingredients in small batches. Use the pulse function for coarse chopping, or a continuous low speed for finer results.
• Kneading Dough: Use the kneading tool in the large processing bowl. The 2-liter bowl can handle up to 1.5 kg of dough. Use a low to medium speed.
• Slicing/Shredding: Attach the appropriate disc to the disc holder in the large processing bowl. Place ingredients into the feed tube and use the pusher to guide them through. Use a medium to high speed.
