• 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
Stainless Steel Chopping 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; 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 Food Processor rest
about 4 minutes before continuing.
• Do not purée 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 Feed Chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make
matchstick-cut vegetables.
• When using Dough Blade, use with recipes calling for up to 4 cups of flour.
Kneading with a food processor creates heat, so start with cooler water
than normally called for.
