There is a risk of catching your fingers between the bowl and the arm attachment. Never put your hands or other objects in the bowl when the appliance is in operation Dough mixing Use the roller and scraper for yeast doughs, up to 1.5 litres (6 cups) of dough fluid and up to 1 litre (4 1/2 cup) of liquid for heavy doughs. Start the machine at low speed. Lock the roller 2 ­ 4 cm (1/2 - 2 inches) from the rim of the bowl as determined by how much flour you will use. Increase to high speed. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, unless otherwise stated in the recipe. Loosen the arm, remove the roller and scraper, and put on the lock while waiting for the dough to rise. Creaming Butter or Margarine Use roller and scraper Place the room temperature butter or margarine with sugar into the bowl. The roller should be at rim of the bowl with the positioning knob set loose. Turn the machine to the highest speed, move the roller into the center of the bowl a couple of times to assure complete mixing of all ingredients and run for approx. 5 min. for best results. (Butter and margarine will stick to the roller at the beginning but will work itself off and cream beautifully). Biscuits an cookies Use roller and scraper Keep the roller at the rim of the bowl with the positioning knob set loose. Place the room temperature butter or margarine and sugar into the bowl and mix on high speed for approx. 2 min. Add eggs, move the roller into the center of the bowl a couple of times to assure complete mixing of all ingredients. Turn the speed on low/medium and add the flour, baking powder and remaining ingredients. Move the roller a couple of times to the center. Slowly increase the speed to high until well blended. If using more than 5 coups of flour, move the roller from the rim approx. 1/4 inch when adding the flour and tighten positioning knob. If using more than 10 cups of flour move the roller approx. 1/2 inch away from the bowl. Cakes 1 ­ 4 batches Use roller and scraper Mix at high speed for around 5 minutes.

Cleaning Wash the double beater by hand. The bowl can be washed in a dishwasher. Place it in the lower dishwasher rack but not directly over the drying element, as this may deform the plastic. 5 Citrus fruit press Important! Unplug the appliance before you attach or remove accessories. Assembly Attach the citrus fruit press as illustrated. Use Use the citrus press for oranges, grapefruits and lemons. Cut the fruit in half. Hold the fruit against the rotating press and run the machine at medium to high speed. Cleaning It is usually sufficient to rinse the press under warm water. The citrus press can be washed in a dishwasher. Place it in the upper dishwasher rack to prevent it from becoming deformed by the hot drying element. 6 Liquidiser/blender CAUTION! Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, jewelry, spatulas or other utensils out of the container while in operation. Use scraper only with unit turned off. Always operate with cover in place. Do not blend hot liquids. Unplug the appliance before you attach or remove accessories. The liquidiser/blender should never be started without the lid on. Always keep your hand on the lid while the appliance is running. Never leave children alone with a liquidiser/blender when it is in operation. Unplug the appliance if you leave it unattended. Assembly Put the Assistent on its side and remove the protective cap from the drive socket. Place the cap over the normal drive socket. Attach the liquidiser/blender firmly to the socket by turning it clockwise. Put the lid (A) on the liquidiser/blender. Use Put the food to be chopped, mixed or blended into the liquidiser/blender. Put the lid on. Run the machine at the highest speed until everything is thoroughly mixed/finely chopped. This usually takes approx. 30 ­ 40 seconds. Do not run the liquidiser/blender for more than 3 minutes at a time when chopping dry food and more than 9 minutes at a time when blending liquids. The liquidiser/blender has an extra lid which fits inside the blender jug. (Note! Only in Europe!) Use this lid when you need to finely chop small quantities of herbs and spices, etc. The lid prevents the spices from sticking to the sides of the liquidiser/ blender, allowing the fine chopping process to work more efficiently. If you need to add anything or thin the mixture while the machine is running, remove the small lid to add the remaining ingredients. For best results, the jug should not be filled more than 3/4 full with liquid ingredients and about 1/2 full with dry ingredients. Tips For best results when finely chopping whole spices, add small amounts at a time through the hole in the lid. Thick sauces and purées become smoother if you repeatedly turn the machine on and off while liquidising. The liquidiser/blender is good for chopping almonds, nuts and onions, as well as for making baby food. Cleaning The easiest way to clean the liquidiser/blender jug is to fill it with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid. Run the machine for a few seconds, then rinse the jug with warm water. Do not wash the jug in a dishwasher, as this may cause the bearings and seal to dry out. 7 Mincer CAUTION! Unplug the appliance before you attach or remove accessories.

Otherwise the taste from these will be passed on to the next food that is ground. The mill should also be cleaned after grinding seeds from oil plants. It is not necessary to clean it each time if you have only been grinding different types of flour. All accessories should be thoroughly dried before re-assembly. Re-assembling It is easiest to assemble the Assistent when it is upright. First attach the mill housing to the drive socket and then continue, as illustrated. When assembling the mill, ensure that: - There is no flour left in the square hole in the feeder screw. Otherwise you cannot make fine adjustments to the milling level. - The mill ring is in the correct position before attaching the cone to the hole in the feeder screw. - The adjustment wheel socket fits into the correct socket in the mill housing. 30 Eng. / Am. 14 Flake Mill Important! Unplug the appliance before you attach or remove accessories. Never put your hands or any other objects into the mill. Never leave children alone with the machine when it is being used. Unplug the appliance if you leave it unattended. The following parts are included: 1. Mill housing 2. Wedge 3. Mill roller 4. Cover 5. 2 x screws 6. Feeder bowl 7. Wing nut Assembly first time The mill is assembled when delivered. To attach the mill to the Assistent, loosen the wing nut slightly before fitting the mill onto the drive socket. Check that the mill roller is properly inserted into the socket before tightening the wing nut. Otherwise the roller will not turn. Place the Assistent on its side and attach the feeder bowl. Use - Filling ­ start Fill the grinder with the required quantity of cereal (max. 1250 grams). Start the machine on medium speed. You can then adjust the speed while it is operating. What can be crushed into flakes? Only use the mill to crush dry ingredients, such as oats, wheat, rye, barley, rice, buckwheat and linseed. Important Only use pure cereal for making flakes. Hard particles such as stones can damage the mill roller. If the cereal is not being ground as well as it should be, stop the mill and look for the cause. Unplug the appliance before you do so. Do not under any circumstances press with a hard object, such as a knife or spoon handle. Dismantling It is easiest to unscrew the mill with the machine on its side. First lift off the bowl and then unscrew the wing nut. Hold the mill roller firmly and pull it out. Remove the wedge. IMPORTANT! Cleaning the mill You do not need to clean the mill every time you have used it. However, it is a good idea to empty any cereal remains from the mill roller and both parts of the mill housing. The accessories should not be immersed in water or rinsed under running water. Wipe both parts of the mill housing with a damp cloth. Clean the mill roller and wedge with a dry brush. Re-assembling It is easiest to assemble the Assistent when it is upright. First attach the mill housing to the drive socket and then continue, as illustrated. Important: When assembling the mill, ensure that there are no grains or other remains in the mill housing and cover. 15 If Assistent does not work Note Check that the voltage and frequency on the rating label underneath the machine correspond with the voltage and frequency in your home. The appliance may be connected to both esrthed and unearthed sockets. Polarization This appliance has polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. If the Assistent does not work, check: ­ that the electrical cord is plugged in ­ that the parts are correctly assembled ­ that the fuse is all right. Service and spare parts The machine should be serviced by an authorised service centre (look under domestic products in the phone directory). When contacting the dealer, explain what is wrong with the machine. State the product number and the model type (these details are found on the specification label underneath the machine). Write this information here, so it is handy when you need it. Product number: Date of purchase: Electrical supply Assistent® Check the voltage First check the voltage marked on the bottom of the machine to make sure that the assistent is of the correct voltage for your electricity supply. If not , do not use the assistent but refer back to your dealer. Connecting to your electricity supply Permanently connected to the assistent is a mains supply (2core) cable. Where applicable a suitable plug should be fitted to the free end of this mains cable. Electrolux recommend the use of 13 amp fused plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse (see IMPORTANT below). On certain models the mains supply cable is fitted with a nonrewireable plug incorporating a 13A fuse. In the event of the fuse requiring replacement the fuse cover should be removed using a small screwdriver. The old fuse MUST be replaced by a 13A ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse and the fuse cover must be replaced before the plug is used again. In the event of loss of the fuse cover replacements can be obtained from your Electrolux dealer or Electricity Board and must be of the same colour as indicated by the coloured insert on the base of the plug. If difficulty is experinced in obtaining a replacement contact your nearest Electrolux Service Centre (Please see the separate Electrolux Service Organisation leaflet). In no circumstances must the plug be used without a correct fuse cover fitted. In the event that the non-rewireable plug is unsuitable for the type of sockets in your home it should be cut off and disposed of safety or destroyed to avoid any possible shock hazard resulting from the plug being inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere. A suitable replacement plug should be fitted as follows: IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral. Brown: Live. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug , proceed as follows: The wire which coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. I If using a three pin plug do not make any connection to the terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. This assistent is double insulated and no earth connections is necessary. If a 13 amp fused-plug is used it MUST be fitted with a 13 amp fuse. It is in your interest to ensure that the plug is correctly attached to the mains lead. In case of doubt have it done by a qualified electrician as Electrolux Limited cannot regard the repair of faults on the plug connection as a service that can be given free of charge under the terms of the guarantee. 31 Eng./Am. Recipes Angel Food Cake 12 egg whites 1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 cup cake flour Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 325° F. Fit the mixer with the plastic bowl and the double whisk attachment. In the plastic bowl beat the egg whites on medium speed just until frothy, 10 to 15 seconds. Add the cream of tartar and salt and beat the whites on medium-high-speed to soft peaks, about 1 minute. While beating, add the vanilla and gradually add the sugar to form stiff peaks, 2 to 4 minutes more. (When the whisk is lifted straight out of the bowl and inverted, the whites should hold their shape with just a slight bend at the tip.) Remove the bowl from the mixer, sift the flour over the whites, and fold the mixture with a spatula until no lumps of flour remain. Carefully pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan to prevent any air pockets from forming. Bake the cake until the top is evenly browned and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Invert the pan, balancing it on a flat surface in a cool area. Let the cake hang in the pan until cool, 1 to 2 hours. Slip a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen and turn the cake out onto a cake plate to serve. Serves 12. Devil's Food Cake with Caramel Buttercream Frosting The cake may be filled and frosted the day it is baked, or the layers may stand at room temperature, wrapped well with plastic wrap, overnight. You may also freeze them for up to a month; double-wrap in plastic and foil, and bring to room temperature while still wrapped. 1 3/4 cups cake flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 2 eggs 1 cup hot water 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder 1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature 1 recipe caramel buttercream frosting (recipe follows) Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease two 8 x 2-inch round cake pans and line the bottom of each with a round of parchment paper cut to fit neatly in the bottom of the pans. Have an 8-inch cardboard round ready. On a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and sift again. Fit the mixer with the metal bowl, scraper and roller. Loosen the positioning knob so that the roller rests flush against the rim of the bowl. In the metal bowl beat the butter on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes more. Beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Occasionally move the roller to the center of the bowl to ensure even mixing. You may need to stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. In another bowl, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder and buttermilk. Add the dry and liquid ingredients to the butter mixture alternately in 3 additions, turning the mixer on and off on low speed. Occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl. Then beat the batter until well combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, spreading the batter so the sides are slightly higher than the center. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes from the pans and cool completely on the racks before frosting, at least 1 hour. To assemble, place one of the cakes on the cardboard round and spread about 1/2 cup frosting over the top. Set the other cake on top and place the whole cake on a decorating turntable or lazy Susan. With a cake spatula and using about half of the remaining frosting, spread a thin coat over the top and around the sides of the cake. Refrigerate until the frosting is firm, about 3 hours. With the remaining frosting, spread a final coat over the top and around the sides. When applying the final coat, avoid touching the first one with the spatula. This will ensure the top coat is free of crumbs. Decorate the cake as desired. Serves 12. 32 Eng. / Am. Caramel Buttercream Frosting 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1-lb. box confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup prepared caramel sauce Fit the mixer with the plastic bowl and the double whisk attachment, in the plastic beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with 1 to 2 Tbs. cream and beat until blended. Add the vanilla, salt and caramel sauce and continue beating until a spreading consistency is reached, 1 to 2 minutes more. Challah Think of challah as Eastern European brioche. It is golden egg-andbutter-rich bread with a texture only slightly tighter than that of brioche. Braided challah is the traditional symbol of the Jewish Sabbath, the bread over which grace is said. It is just a little sweet, just a little soft and just this side of heavenly. 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 Tbs. active dry yeast 1/2 cup tepid water (80 to 90°F) 1/3 cup sugar 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup milk 1 Tbs. mild honey 2 1/2 tsp. salt 4 eggs 6 1/2 cups high-gluten bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour Brush a large mixing bowl with some of the melted butter. Reserve the remaining melted butter for coating the top of the dough. Whisk the yeast into the water. Add a pinch of the sugar and let rest until the 33 Eng./Am. has dissolved and is creamy, about 5 minutes. Cut the butter into small pieces and toss into a small saucepan with the milk; heat until the milk is very warm to the touch and the butter has melted. Fit the mixer with the metal bowl, scraper and roller. Tighten the positioning knob so the roller sits 1 inch from the rim of the bowl. Pour the butter mixture into the metal bowl and add the remaining sugar, honey and the salt. If necessary, let the mixture cool so it is no warmer than 110°F. Add the creamy yeast and the eggs to the mixture and stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add about 5 cups of the flour and knead on low speed for 3 minutes or until the dough starts to come together. Continue kneading on medium-low speed, adding additional flour as needed, 1/2 cup at a time, to make a soft dough that clings to the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough on medium-low until smooth, soft and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes more. First and Second Rises On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a ball and transfer it to the buttered mixing bowl. Brush the top of the dough with a little melted butter, cover the bowl with buttered plastic wrap and top with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When the dough is fully risen, deflate it, cover as before and let it rise until doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes. Shaping and Final Rise Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Cut the dough in half and cover 1 piece with buttered plastic wrap while you work with the other. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 16 inches long; it should be thick in the center and tapered at the ends. Align the ropes vertically, side by side, and start braiding from the center down. When you have reached the end, turn the loaf around so that the braided half is on top and braid the lower half. Pinch the ends to seal and tuck the ends under the loaf. Transfer the loaf to a prepared baking sheet and gently plump it to get it back into shape; cover with a towel. Braid the second loaf, put it on the other prepared baking sheet and cover. Let the loaves rise at room temperature until soft puffy, and almost doubled, about 40 minutes. The Glaze and Topping 1 egg 1 egg yolk 1 Tbs. cold water or heavy cream Sesame, poppy and/or caraway seeds (optional) Coarse salt Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, yolk and water together until broken up, then push the glaze through a sieve. Brush the tops and sides of the challahs with glaze; let the glaze set for 5 minutes and brush again. Reserve the remaining glaze for brushing the loaves during baking. Dust the tops of the loaves with the seeds, if using, and with the coarse salt. Baking the Bread Bake the bread for 20 minutes. Rotate the pans 180 degrees, from front to back and from top to bottom. The loaves will expand and expose some of the inner dough. Brush the newly exposed dough with the reserved glaze and bake until the loaves are golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes more. If they start to brown too quickly, cover them with a piece of foil, shiny side up. Let the bread cool to room temperature before slicing, about 2 hours. Makes 2 loaves. Storing Once cut, challah should be stored in a plastic bag at room temperature; it will keep for 2 days and then makes excellent French toast. For longer storage, wrap the bread airtight and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw, still wrapped, at room temperature. Chocolate Fudge Cookies with Confectioners' sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate 8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter 2 cups granulated sugar 4 eggs 1 to 2 cups confectioners' sugar Preheat an oven to 350°F. (If you are using dark cookie sheets, preheat the oven to 325°F.) Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets. On a sheet of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and sift again. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring often, until blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Fit the mixer with the metal bowl, scraper and roller. Loosen the positioning knob so that the roller rests flush against the rim of the bowl. In the metal bowl, the mixer combine the chocolate mixture and the granulated sugar and beat on medium speed until blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the dry ingredients in 2 additions, and beat until just blended and no lumps of flour remain. Occasionally move the roller to the center of the bowl to ensure even mixing. You may need to stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and refrigerate until the dough is firm, at least 1 hour. Place the confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough from the bowl and with your palms, shape the dough into a ball and drop into the confectioners' sugar. Roll the ball in the sugar to coat and transfer to a prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake until the sugar topping is cracked, the cookies are slightly puffed and the sides are just firm to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Makes 24 cookies. Ginger - Molasses Cookies 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 tsp. ground cloves 16 Tbs. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 cup molasses Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 375°F.

Loosen the positioning knob so the roller rests flush against the rim of the bowl. In the metal bowl, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Occasionally move the roller to the center of the bowl to ensure even mixing. You may need to stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, about 1 minute, and occasionally move the roller to the center of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the vanilla and molasses and beat until just blended. Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients in 2 additions. Beat until just blended and no lumps of flour remain. Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons and transfer to the prepared cookie sheets, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are golden and crisp around the edges, about 12 minutes. Makes about 30 cookies. Rosemary Olive Bread 1 package (about 1 Tbs.) active dry yeast 2 cups warm water (110°F) 4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary 2 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives In a bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl. Fit the mixer with the metal bowl, scraper and roller. Loosen the positioning knob so the roller rests flush against the rim of the bowl. In the metal bowl, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rosemary and salt and blend on low speed to mix ingredients, 15 to 20 seconds. Tighten the positioning knob so the roller sits 1 inch from the rim of the bowl. Add the yeast mixture and olives. Knead on medium speed until the dough is soft and smooth, 8 to 10 minutes. If the ingredients get caught on the side of the bowl, stop the mixer, move the roller and push them through with a rubber spatula. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape dough into a ball, transfer to a lightly oiled large mixing bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface, punch down and let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Stretch the sides of the dough down and under to form a tight round shape, about 8 inches wide. Pinch the seam underneath the loaf closed to seal, set the loaf, seam side down, on a lightly floured surface and dust the top with flour. Cover with a floured kitchen towel and let rise until nearly doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes. Position a rack and a large baking stone in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 425°F. Using a serrated knife, cut a shallow "X" on top of the loaf and let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Using a baker's peel or a rimless cookie sheet, transfer the loaf to the baking stone.
