assembling and using the processor
17 Hold the blade unit by the plastic part, and lower it over the spindle in the bottom of the bowl. 19 It's spring-loaded, so you'll feel some resistance as you push it down. 20 Put the food to be processed in the bowl: a) don't fill above max (that's 700ml) b) don't fill more than half full with liquids, or the bowl may overflow in use c) process raw meat of any description meat must be fully cooked and fit to eat before processing d) don't process large amounts in batches if you need to process large amounts, you need a full size processor 21 Align the central hole in the processing lid with the top of the blade unit, and lower the lid on to the bowl. 22 Lower the motor unit on to the processing lid you may have to turn it slightly to fit. 23 Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable). 24 Press the switch 4, on top of the motor unit, gently down to start processing. 28 It's best to run the motor in bursts of a few seconds at a time, and inspect the results between bursts. 4

a couple of tips
36 Cut your ingredients into uniformly sized pieces before processing, for better control. 37 Chocolate, nuts, and cheese will chop/grind better if thoroughly chilled first.
hot liquids
38 At higher temperatures, the lid may soften enough to lose its seal, allowing the contents of the bowl to escape, so, when using hot liquids: a) before pouring into the bowl, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you can handle comfortably (i. e. liquid temperature below 40°C) b) if the lid is too hot for comfort, remove it and let the liquid cool down further
