• When chopping, for a more uniform consistency, start with
pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch
(2.5-cm) pieces before processing with Puree/Chopping
Blade and leave room in bowl for the food to be tossed
around.
• When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the
best results.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. If unit is operated continuously for an extended
period of time, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before
continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as
they are easily overprocessed and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar
or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese
should be processed immediately after being removed from
the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed
in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it
is firm enough for shredding.
• The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade
on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name
stamped on the blade, facing up, is the function selected.
Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
