Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM FOOD PROCESSOR LC7900. • Always use extreme care when handling blades and cutting discs. These are extremely sharp and may cause injury if handled incorrectly. Always store blades and cutting discs in their respective covers or processing containers. • Unplug from power outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning. • Do not put hot liquids into the processing bowl.
Features of your Food Processor Processing cover The processing cover or lid of bowl provides a safety feature to the appliance. The appliance will not operate unless the bowl, cover and large feed pusher are correctly positioned and locked into place. 1,100 watt induction motor The heavy base houses a powerful 1,100 watt motor. This motor is ideal for high load applications during processing, and provides a greater starting strength whilst maintaining speed throughout.
Food Pushers The food pushers assist in guiding the food through the chute to ensure ingredients hit the blade vertically for best processing results. Three food pushers are included, depending on the size of the chute being used and the size of foods. For thinner foods, use the smaller internal pusher for consistent even slicing. This pusher also doubles as a measuring cup. Wide Chute At 14cm’s wide, the extra wide chute eliminates the need to cut most ingredients, to fit into the chute.
Attachments for your Food Processor 1. Universal 's' blade Stainless steel smooth edged processing blade is designed for cutting, kneading, whisking and emulsifying. 4. Reversible shredding disc - fine and coarse Ideal control, the reversible stainless steel shredding blades allow for the choice of fine or coarse results. 2. Variable slicing blade The variable stainless steel slicing blade allows foods to be sliced to a variety of thicknesses, up to 7mm. 5.

Handy hints for Processing Chopping For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the container is not overloaded. Mincing Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square.
Handy hints for Processing continued Preparing longer slices Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube, see figure 16. Fig 16 Preparing shorter slices Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 17. Fig 17 14 Food Pusher Use the food pushers to help guide food through the chute for even, consistent processing. Use the smaller food pushers for smaller, thinner foods for best results.
Care and cleaning When you have finished processing, unplug the food processor from the power outlet. All accessories and processor tools can be washed in hot soapy water except for the processor body. Clean the processor body by wiping with a damp cloth.
