Operation
5. Carefully observe the food with the pulse/chopping technique to achieve a more
even chop without the risk of over-processing the food. Check the texture of the
food to prevent over-processing. For a coarse chop, pulse the food only a few
times.
6. For a finer chop or purée, turn the speed control knob to the
LOW
or
HIGH
position, and let the food processor run continuously until the food is finely
chopped or smoothly puréed to your preference. Check the texture of the food
to prevent over-processing. Use a food scraper or spatula to scrape down any
pieces of food that stick to the inside of the bowl. Foods with high water content
(e.g., onions) turn into a smooth purée very quickly; carefully observe the food to
prevent over-processing.
7. Various conditions may affect your food processing results, including:
•
The size of food pieces placed into the bowl
• The amount of food to be processed
• The processing speed or setting used
Guidelines for Consistent and Uniform Slices or Shreds
1.
Choose food with care; fruits and vegetables should be fresh, firm and not overripe.
2. Prepare the food before processing. Remove large, hard pits and seeds. When slicing,
cut one end flat and place into the feed tube with the cut side facing down.
3. Pack the feed tube carefully. Food should fit into the feed tube snugly, but not so
tight that it prevents the food pusher from moving.
4. Pack feed tube for desired results. For small, round slices or shorter shreds from
carrots, zucchini and other long vegetables, cut them into smaller and equal
lengths, and then pack them tightly in an upright position. For longer slices or
shreds, cut the food into smaller and equal lengths, and then stack the pieces
horizontally in the feed tube.
5. Adjust the pressure on the food pusher based on the food texture. Use light pressure
for soft fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, strawberries, mushrooms and
tomatoes, as well as for all types of cheeses. Use medium pressure for harder
fruits and vegetables, including apples, celeries, citrus fruits, potatoes and zucchinis.
Use firm pressure for really hard vegetables like carrots and yams.
