Assembling the blades
•
The blades can be removed easily for cleaning and maintenance of the machine.
•
Place the bowl upside down and turn the lever, found in the base of the bowl, anticlockwise
to remove the blades.
To assemble the blades again, hold them in place and turn the lever, found in the base of the bowl,
in a clockwise direction.
Caution
Special care must be taken when removing or replacing the blades as they are very sharp. After
cooking, leave the blades to cool before handling them.
Bowl
The MultiChef bowl is made of stainless steel and has a maximum capacity of 2 litres with internal
and external 0.5 litre graduations marked on the bowl.
Caution
Never exceed the maximum fill level.
Special care must be taken when removing the bowl from the base unit to avoid spills and splashes.
Lid
The MultiChef only works with the lid properly in place and therefore it’s essential to close it
correctly. The bowl symbol will appear on the screen to indicate that the bowl lid is not properly
closed.
Measuring Cup
The Measuring Cup is very versatile and allows ingredients to be added to the MultiChef when in
use.
•
For adding ingredients to the bowl without removing the lid.
•
To maintain the cooking temperature.
•
As a measuring cup with a capacity of 100ml.
Caution
Do not remove the Measuring Cup at speeds higher than speed 4 to avoid the ingredients from
splashing.
Basket
The MultiChef comes with a Basket that is placed inside the bowl. This is perfect for preparing
different types of dishes where you want to maintain textures of certain ingredients.
Steamer
The Steam Accessory is perfect for steaming meat, fish and vegetables. This accessory consists of
three parts the first which is an outer tray for collecting liquids that may fall from the ingredients
during the cooking process. Secondly there is a smaller size tray for placing the ingredients inside
for steaming. Thirdly there is the lid which is used to keep the steam from escaping.
WARNING
This accessory is not to be used in microwaves, ovens or other cooking appliances.
Care must be taken when using the Steamer as it may have steam or hot water inside the lower
tray.
How to use the steamer
•
Put the bowl in place in the base unit and add 0.5 litres of water.
•
Put the lid on the base unit, leaving the clear measuring cup off
•
Put the steamer on top of the lid ensuring it fits well in the measuring cup slot.
•
Put the ingredients in the top tray for steaming.
•
Place on the steamer lid.
•
Program the time and temperature.
•
The ingredients will start cooking when the water/liquid begins to boil at 100°C and the steam
rises from the bowl and passes to the trays.
Whisk
The Whisk is ideal for making creams, purees, whipped cream, cake mixes and bread doughs.
The Whisk is placed on top of the blades and works with speeds 1, 2, 3 and 4. To remove it, hold it
firmly by the upper part and pull lightly. Do not use the Whisk with the Pulse function.
Spatula
Use this accessory for stirring or mixing the ingredients.
Use the spatula to remove the Cooking basket from the bowl and to lower the ingredients from
the walls of the bowl.
WARNING
Do not use other utensils to stir the ingredients inside the MultiChef bowl as these may damage
the machine and may get caught between its blades.
Never place the Spatula inside the bowl whilst the blades are in motion.
ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES
After you have made some of the recipes supplied you may wish to adapt a few of your own
recipes. Start by selecting one of the recipes in this booklet, which is similar to your own and use
this as a guide.
Onion and garlic often seem to have a more intense flavour when used in the MultiChef, if you are
adapting a recipe, reducing the onion or garlic by 50-75% may be helpful initially.
Liquids may not evaporate as much as in a saucepan so you may want to reduce them and monitor
during cooking. More liquid can then be added if required.
Once you have used your MultiChef a few times you will soon realise all its capabilities and that
the possibilities are endless.
