Dos and Don'ts

Do:

• Check food processor is fully assembled before use.
• Chop all ingredients into small pieces before blending.
• Add a small amount of cold liquid or reduce ingredients if blades are not running smoothly.

Caution:

Exercise caution when handling the stainless steel blade attachment, as the blades may get hot during use. If blending warm ingredients, take care when removing the attachment, as pressure build-up may cause ingredients to spout from the lid.

Do Not:

• Attempt to remove the stainless steel blade attachment until blades have fully stopped moving.
• Dry blend ingredients for more than 45 seconds at a time.
• Blend hot liquid or food; this could cause spillage and damage the processor.
• Exceed the max. fill mark when adding ingredients.
• Operate when the mixing bowl is empty, cracked, or broken.

Care and Maintenance

Before any cleaning or maintenance, switch off and unplug the food processor and allow it to cool fully.

STEP 1:

Wipe the food processor base unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.

STEP 2:

Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Never touch the blades; using extreme caution, clean the blades with a brush and dry carefully.

Do not immerse the food processor base unit in water or any other liquid.

Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents or scourers, as this could cause damage.

The food processor is not safe for dishwasher use.

Note: The food processor should be cleaned after each use.

Warning: Handle the stainless steel blade attachment with care, as the blades are extremely sharp. Exercise caution when attaching, removing, cleaning, or storing the stainless steel blade attachment.

Instructions for Use

Before First Use:

Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wipe the food processor base unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.

Never touch the blades; the stainless steel blade attachment should be washed using a brush and dried carefully.

Do not immerse the food processor base unit in water or any other liquid.

Note: When using the food processor for the first time, a slight odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the food processor.

Assembling/Using the Compact Prep Pro

All attachments must be securely fitted before use; do not attempt to remove them until the blades have stopped moving.

1. Before connecting to the mains power supply, position the food processor base unit onto a flat, stable surface, at a height comfortable for the user.
2. Place the mixing bowl onto the food processor base unit and twist anticlockwise until it locks into place.
3. Position the desired attachment onto the shaft in the centre of the mixing bowl and press firmly down until it locks into place. The blade attachment is for blending; the whipping disc is for whipping cream.
4. Add ingredients to the mixing bowl, taking care not to exceed the max. fill mark. If there are few ingredients, add the spacer onto the shaft after adding ingredients.
5. Place the lid on top of the mixing bowl and turn anticlockwise until it locks into place.
6. Plug in and switch on the food processor at the mains power supply.
7. Press and hold the desired multidirectional button. The right button (forward mode) is for grating, chopping, or grinding. The left button (reverse mode) is for mixing, stirring, or whipping.
8. Once finished, switch off and unplug the food processor.
9. Turn the mixing bowl clockwise and lift away.

Note: Check that the lid is securely fitted before use.

To prevent overheating, do not dry blend ingredients for more than 45 seconds at a time. If blades are not running smoothly, stop the processor, carefully remove the cross-blade attachment. Add a small amount of cold liquid or reduce ingredients in the mixing bowl.

Caution: Take care when handling the cross-blade attachment, as blades may get hot during use.

Warning: Do not blend warm or hot liquid or food, as this may cause pressure build-up and serious injury.

Using the Spacer

When using the food processor with a small amount of ingredients, the spacer can be used to keep food near the blades. Use the processor as normal; after adding ingredients, attach the spacer to the shaft above them. Fit the lid and continue as instructed in 'Assembling/Using the Compact Prep Pro'.

Troubleshooting

Storage

Reassemble the food processor. Check that it is cool, clean, and dry before storing in a cool, dry place.

Never wrap the cord tightly around the food processor; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
