Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of your Moulinex Double Pusher.

Important Safety Note: Always refer to your main food processor's instruction manual for comprehensive safety guidelines and warnings before using any accessories. Ensure the food processor is unplugged before handling any parts.
Product Overview
The Moulinex Double Pusher is a transparent, two-chamber accessory designed to guide ingredients into your food processor's processing bowl through the feed tube. Its dual design allows for efficient processing of various ingredient sizes.
This image displays the transparent double pusher, a genuine Moulinex replacement part. It features two integrated tubes of different diameters, designed to guide various sizes of ingredients into the food processor bowl. Measurement markings are visible on the larger chamber.
Setup
- Unplug the Appliance: Before installing the double pusher, ensure your Moulinex food processor is unplugged from the power outlet.
- Identify the Feed Tube: Locate the feed tube opening on your food processor's lid.
- Insert the Pusher: Align the double pusher with the feed tube opening. The larger chamber should typically align with the wider part of the feed tube. Gently push the pusher down until it is securely seated in the lid. It should fit snugly without excessive force.
- Verify Security: Ensure the pusher is stable and does not wobble. It must be properly installed for safe operation.
Operating Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cut ingredients into appropriate sizes that fit comfortably into either the large or small chamber of the double pusher.
- Place Ingredients: Insert the ingredients into the desired chamber of the double pusher.
- Process Food: With the food processor running, use the double pusher to gently guide the ingredients down the feed tube towards the blades or discs.
- Controlled Feeding: Use steady, even pressure. Avoid forcing ingredients, as this can strain the motor or damage the appliance.
- Never Use Hands: Always use the double pusher to guide food. Never insert your fingers or any other utensils into the feed tube while the appliance is operating.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic use of your double pusher.
- Unplug and Disassemble: Always unplug the food processor before cleaning. Remove the double pusher from the food processor lid.
- Hand Washing: Wash the double pusher with warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean all surfaces, paying attention to any crevices where food particles might accumulate.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the double pusher to air dry completely before storing or reassembling. Alternatively, dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the plastic.
Troubleshooting
- Pusher does not fit into the lid:
Ensure the pusher is correctly oriented and aligned with the feed tube opening. Verify that the pusher is compatible with your specific Moulinex food processor model (MasterChef 370, Variomix 1000, or Variomix 30000).
- Food gets stuck in the feed tube:
Turn off and unplug the food processor. Carefully remove the pusher and clear any obstructions. Ensure ingredients are cut to appropriate sizes before feeding them into the pusher. Avoid overfilling the chambers.
- Pusher feels loose:
Ensure the pusher is fully inserted and seated correctly in the lid's feed tube. If it remains loose, inspect the pusher and the lid's feed tube for any damage or wear that might prevent a secure fit.
