There are three unique OneTouch™ presets for use with the food processor bowl and three for use with the blender. Attach either the food processor bowl or blender to the base unit and add your ingredients, then add the lid. The attachment and lid need to be locked in place for the machine to operate. To do this, ensure that the attachment and lid are aligned, and turn to lock until you hear a click. When correctly assembled all icons will be lit and the screen will display "00:00". If you see four dashes on the screen display, then the attachment or lid are not properly locked in place. Select the required preset by pressing the icon and the programme will start. The speed of the machine will change as the programme runs, varying between continuous processing and pulsing. The timer will count down and the machine will automatically stop processing when the timer reaches zero. The programmes are designed to be used continuously and cannot be paused part way through. You can cancel the preset programme during processing by pressing the icon again. This will cancel the programme and reset the machine to "00:00".

The Custom OneTouch™ preset allows you to create a personalised a preset for your favourite recipe. By recording the series of speeds, you can create your own programme to ensure that the consistency and texture are precisely how you want. Then you can simply repeat with a single touch next time you want to create this dish again – saving time, effort and ensuring perfect results every time. To record your own Custom OneTouch™ preset. First, attach the bowl/blender and add your ingredients, then secure the lid. Next, press and hold the custom icon until the light above it turns orange and the screen displays "REC". Record your sequence using the manual speed and pulse settings. To save the sequence, press and hold the custom icon again until the light above stops flashing and stays solid orange, the screen will display "REC end". Now when you want to create the same recipe you can simply add the ingredients to the bowl/blender and press the custom icon. Note that one custom preset can be stored at a time and recording again will overwrite any existing programme.
