Shredding disc : for finely shredded vegetables, lay them horizontally in the feed tube.

The feed tube has two openings : an extra large opening for grating and slicing fruit and vegetables, either left whole or cut into large chunks, to professional standards. MAX 2 A narrower opening for liquids and small solid ingredients. · To make optimum use of your food processor and reduce cleaning to a minimum, use the Mini bowl first, then the Midi and finally the Main bowl. · Use the Pulse function to maintain complete control over the final result. · If your processor starts to vibrate, carefully clean and dry the feet. · To achieve the very best results when chopping, grating or slicing soft foodstuffs (meat, fish, soft cheese, etc. ), put them in the freezer for a few minutes first. · Mini bowl The Mini bowl is ideal for baby food and can double as a storage container once you have removed the metal blade. You can also put it directly in the microwave (minus the metal blade) to heat food up (purée, baby's soup, etc. ). · Midi bowl The Midi bowl is perfect for grating and slicing cheese, fruit and vegetables. · Metal blade When handling large quantities, cut the meat, vegetables, etc. For soups, sauces, pancake batter, etc. , start by combining the solid ingredients. Then, while the machine is running, gradually add the liquid via the feed tube. 20 TIPS Vegetable purée : cut the cooked vegetables into large chunks, put these in the Main bowl and process with the metal blade. Pulse a few times to begin with, then blend continuously to achieve the desired consistency. Fresh herbs : before chopping fresh herbs, check that both the herbs and the bowl are perfectly clean and dry. This way, you will obtain better results and the herbs will keep for longer. Meat and fish : when mincing meat or fish, use the pulse function to monitor the final result. · Dough blade Bread dough, shortcrust pastry, rich shortcrust pastry : begin by combining the solid ingredients (flour, yeast, etc. ). Next, while the machine is running, gradually add the liquids (eggs, water, milk) via the feed tube. You can purchase this from your local baker's or healthfood shop.
