more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted into
the food.
• If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop
the processor and unplug, then remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.
• When chopping sticky dried fruits, place the fruits in the freezer for about 10 minutes and add
a little flour or sugar to keep the pieces from sticking together.
• When preparing cake or cookie batter, use the S blade to cream fat and sugar first and
add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent over
chopping. Process nuts and fruits using short pulses to blend with other ingredients.

CARE AND CLEANING
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to a qualified service professional.
Important: Always unplug your processor from the outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING
Important: Blades are sharp. Handle blades and discs carefully.
• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easier cleaning.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp
cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse
base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand. The removable
parts can be washed in the dishwasher, top rack only (P).
Hand-washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor’s appearance.
• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons of baking soda
and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
• Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.
• Remember to clean the internal shafts of the chopping blades. Use a brush to remove
any residual food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the lid over the large workbowl, apply a small amount
of vegetable oil to the rim of the lid and workbowl. This should make the pieces work
more smoothly.
