Refer to recommended speed chart for each attachment.
cm
knife blade
The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments.
The length of the processing time will determine the texture
achieved. For coarser textures use the pulse control.
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping
raw and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pâté, dips,
pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits and
bread.
hints
Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes
G
approximately 2cm/3/4in before processing.
Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the
G
feed tube whilst the appliance is running.
When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge cut into
G
2cm/3/4in.cubes.
Take care not to over-process.
G
cn
dough tool
Use for yeasted dough mixes.
Place the dry ingredients in the bowl and add the liquid
G
down the feed tube whilst the appliance is running. Process
until a smooth elastic ball of dough is formed this will take
approx. 60 secs.
Re-knead by hand only. Re-kneading in the bowl is not
G
recommended as it may cause the processor to become
unstable.
co
dual whisk
Use for light mixtures only e.g. egg whites, cream,
evaporated milk and for whisking eggs and sugar for fatless
sponges. Heavier mixtures such as fat and flour will damage
it.
using the whisk
1 Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2 Push each beater
securely into the drive head.
3 Fit the whisk by carefully turning until it drops over the drive
shaft.
4 Add the ingredients.
5 Fit the lid - ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the
centre of the lid.
6 Switch on.
important
The whisk is not suitable for making all in one
G
cake mixes as these mixes are too heavy and will
damage it. Always use the knife blade.
hints
Best results are obtained when the eggs are at room
G
temperature.
Ensure the bowl and whisks are clean and free from grease
G
before whisking.
Heavier ingredients such as flour and dried fruit should be
G
folded in by hand.
Do not exceed the maximum capacity or processing time
G
stated in the recommended speed chart.
cp
folding tool
Use the folding tool to fold light ingredients into heavier
mixtures for example meringues, mousses and fruit fools.
1 Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.

2 Push the paddle
3 Fit the folding tool by carefully turning until it drops over the
drive shaft.
4 Add the ingredients.
5 Fit the lid – ensuring the end of the shaft locates into the
centre of the lid .
6 Select low speed (speed 1 -2).
to remove the beater
Detach the beater from the drive head by pressing the
bk
release button
.
hints
Do not use Auto or high speed as a low speed is required to
G
optimise the folding performance.
For best results do not over whisk egg whites or cream –
G
the folding tool will not be able to fold the mixture correctly if
the whisked mix is too firm.
Do not fold the mixture for longer than stated in the
G
recommended speed chart as the air will be knocked out
and the mix will be too loose.
Any unmixed ingredients left on the paddle or sides of the
G
bowl should be carefully folded in using the spatula.
cq
max capacity disc
When blending liquids, use the max capacity disc with the
knife blade. It allows you to increase the liquid processing
capacity from 1.4 litre to 2 litres, prevents leaking and
improves the chopping performance of the blade.
1 Fit the detachable drive shaft and bowl onto the power unit.
2 Fit the knife blade.
3 Add ingredients to be processed.
4 Fit the capacity disc over the top of the blade ensuring it sits
on the ledge inside the bowl
