Use for yeasted dough mixes.
Follow the instructions under ‘To Use Your Food Processor’.

Hints and Tips

• Do not process for longer than 60 seconds.
• Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed.
• Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause the processor to become unstable.

Emulsifying Disc

1. Fit the emulsifying disc over the dough tool – align the fins on the dough tool with the slots in the disc.
2. Turn the dough tool anti-clockwise to lock in place.
3. To separate the parts turn clockwise and lift the disc off the dough tool shaft.

Hints and Tips

• Ensure the bowl and tool are clean and free from grease before use.
• Mayonnaise – Place the egg and seasonings into the bowl and mix for a few seconds. With the machine running gradually add the oil down the feed tube in a steady stream.

Discs

1. Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2. Holding by the centre grip, place the disc onto the drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost.
3. Fit the lid.
4. Put the food in the feed tube. Choose which size feed tube you want to use.
   To use the small feed tube – first put the large pusher inside the feed tube. Use for individual thin ingredients.
   Do not use the small pusher without the larger pusher fitted, otherwise you may damage the bottom of the pusher. To use the large feed tube – use both pushers together.
5. Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher 1 – never put your fingers in the feed tube.

Hints and Tips

• Use fresh ingredients
• Do not cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing.
  When slicing or grating: food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.
• There will always be a small amount of waste on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

Citrus Juicer (if supplied)

• Cone
• Sieve

To use the citrus juicer

1. Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

4. Select maximum speed or use the pulse (P).

Hints and Tips

• For optimum performance when processing spices do not process more than 50g at a time.
• Whole spices retain their flavour for a much longer time than ground spices so it is best to grind a small quantity fresh at a time to retain the flavour.
• To release the maximum flavour and essential oils whole spices are best roasted prior to milling.
• Do not process dried turmeric root in the mill as it is too hard and may damage the blades.
• Cut ginger and coconut into small pieces before processing.
• For best results the main bowl is recommended when chopping herbs
