the food processor running.
• To minimise slender foods, such as carrots or celery, from falling
over in the feed chute, cut food into several pieces and pack the
feed chute with the food.
• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and
tomatoes) and slightly more pressure for hard foods (onions and
potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are too frozen or hard. Make sure that
the tip of a knife can be inserted into the food before processing.
• If hard food, such as a piece of carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the
food processor and unplug, then remove the blade. Gently remove the 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 the flour mixture to prevent over
chopping. Process nuts and fruits using short pulses to blend with other ingredients.
• When using the discs, do not let the food accumulate too high (over 2/3 full); stop and
empty the workbowl.
• Do not use the food processor to:
- Grind coffee beans, bones, grains or hard spices
- Liquefy fruits and vegetables
- Slice or chop warm meat

of vegetable oil to the rim of the lid and workbowl. This should make the pieces work
more smoothly.
