Tips and Techniques
• 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 chopping/mixing blade and leave room in bowl for
the food to be tossed around.
• This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most
foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your
food processor for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans, or
spices; slicing frozen meats; kneading dough; or crushing ice.
• 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.
• To julienne vegetables, slice and then remove from bowl. Restack
the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again
to make matchstick-cut vegetables.
