Properties of the Design Food Processor S Your new Food Processor processes your food in only a few seconds. For most purposes there is no need to continuously operate the appliance for more than a few minutes. Even heavy dough (e.g. yeast dough) is processed in 2 or 3 minutes (at the maximum). Also when using a cutting blade and adding your food via the feed tube, you should switch off the motor for filling the feed tube anew. This way you get better results.
• Alternatively, you can operate the motor in short pulses using the PULSE button for a better control of the consistency of your food. This function is most useful, when using the universal ‘s’ blade for mincing and puréeing. Even when using a cutting disc, you should prefer this operating mode for better results. Selecting the appropriate tools WARNING: The blades of the tools are very sharp. Handle with care! Do not attempt to use more than one set of cutting tools simultaneously.
Tips for best results General • When processing some vegetables (e.g. onions), peel, if required, and quarter or cut very large vegetables in eighths – especially if you wish to process the vegetables using the universal ‘s’ blade and do not feed it through the feed tube. • For measuring out small amounts up to 150 ml you can use the pusher. It is equipped with an appropriate scale. Using the universal ‘s’ blade • In most cases, you should not process your food excessively.
Operation WARNING: The appliance is intended for cutting and mixing food. For this, the appliance is equipped with sharp knives and other electrically driven moving parts. DO NOT insert your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. cooking utensils, clothes) in the feed tube, when the appliance is connected to the power supply, to avoid risks of injuries and damage. Only use the provided pusher for pushing food down in the feed tube.

For kneading dough or ice mixtures or similar food, you need to operate the appliance for some minutes. For this, use the ON/OFF button.
Grating, shredding and slicing using the cutting discs The appliance is delivered with 2 different cutting discs. The blades on the two sides of these discs are shaped differently, designated for different purposes and, thus, providing different results. Therefore, it is essential to assemble the cutting discs with the side facing upwards that is provided with the required type of blades.
WARNING: The blades of the cutting discs are very sharp. Only grasp the cutting discs at the brim or at the black central plastic body. 4. For slicing, shredding, and grating you need one of the cutting discs. Select the appropriate disc. The cutting discs can be used in two orientations. The processing results depend on which side is facing upwards: coarse or fine. The discs are assembled with the bowl still EMPTY and are mounted on top of the shaft, almost level with the brim of the bowl. 5.

Solving problems If any problems occur during operation, you will find solutions in this section. Problem Reason The Solution The motor will not work, the The appliance is not live.
Bowl or lid is not locked correctly. A safety interlock has been released, for example, by turning the lid while feeding food through the feed tube. Ensure that bowl and lid are still mounted correctly. Malfunction of the appliance Send the appliance to an authorized service centre for repair. You can not loosen the universal ‘s’ blade from the shaft. You have mounted the universal ‘s’ blade in wrong orientation.
ditionally, the large universal ‘s’ blade and emulsifying disc are firmly locked for operation via nozzles on the shaft. Remainder of food and liquids could drop from the parts of the appliance, when disassembling. Ensure that no liquids drip on the motor base, or any other delicate objects. Always remove the bowl from the motor base first, and place it on a stable and water-resistant surface, before opening the lid. 1.
Dishwasher use Do not place the motor base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher. All plastic components deteriorate through prolonged use of a dishwasher for cleaning (e.g. discolouration, cracks, distortions). Nevertheless, all removable parts and accessories (bowl, lid, shaft, and tools) of your Food Processor are tolerant to dishwasher use. However, if using the dishwasher, place the parts only on the top rack. If your dishwasher features temperature control, do not select more than 65 °C (150 °F).
„Preparing the Appliance“) Place the bowl on the motor base. For storage, it is quite sufficient to lock the bowl only until it engages firmly on the motor base and will not fall. This way, you avoid excessive wear to the safety interlocks. Insert the long shaft in the container, and place the chopping blade on it without pushing it down. There is no need to fix it on the shaft. Then, place the short shaft carefully in the container, and put the emulsifying disc on it. Insert the separator disc.
