For round fruits or vegetables, slice a
thick piece off base so it sits upright in
Feed Tube. Slice to fit Feed Tube if
necessary. For small ingredients, like
radishes or potatoes: Trim the ends so
the food sits upright in the Feed Tube.
When shredding cheese, make sure
that it is well chilled.
To shred leafy vegetables, like lettuce
or spinach: Roll leaves together and
stand them in Feed Tube. Process with
even pressure.
NOTE: Always use the Pusher when
shredding. Never put your fingers in
the Feed Tube while unit is running.
USING THE DOUGH BLADE
With your Food Processor Work Bowl
assembled on the base, insert the Dough
Blade and carefully push down until it locks
into place.
NOTE: Handle with care. Always check to
be sure the blade is securely locked.
Dough
(using the Dough Blade
or Metal Chopping Blade)
To make bread dough, manually select
Speed 6 or select DOUGH preset
(also Speed 6). Use Speed 6 to sift dry
ingredients, then slowly add liquid to
begin the kneading process. Increase
speed to 10 to finish kneading.
The Metal Chopping Blade is ideal for
pastry doughs, while the Dough Blade
is specifically designed for kneading
yeast doughs.
The Large Pusher lock is recommended
to be in the locked position when
kneading dough to avoid it from moving
around – some vibration is still normal.
USING THE WHISK
With your Food Processor Work Bowl
assembled on the base, insert the Whisk
and carefully push down to secure.
Whisk
To whisk egg whites or cream, select
WHISK preset. The default Speed 7
works for both whipped cream and
meringue.
When whipping cream or egg whites,
the amount you’re using will affect
whipping time. For instance, 1 cup
(250 ml)of cream will take about
1½ minutes on Speed 7, while 2 cups
(500 ml) might take an additional
minute. Keep a close eye when
whisking to avoid over whipping.
A Cooking Lid is recommended for
better visibility.
Use the Whisk to make fluffy mashed
potatoes. We recommend using Speed 6.
USING DICING KIT
With your Food Processor Work Bowl assembled
on the base, place the Stem Adapter on the
hub in the bottom of the Work Bowl. Carefully
assemble the Dicing Kit as per instructions on
page 14.
Dice
Never use the largest Feed Tube for
dicing.
Use either medium or small
Feed Tube. For hard foods, like winter
squash and carrots, always use the
smallest Feed Tube.
The Dicing Disc and Grid make
cubed pieces of fruit and vegetables.
The recommended speed for dicing
most fruits and vegetables is High.
Use Low speed when dicing very soft
items, such as kiwi.
Be sure to pack smaller or single items
tightly, to the left of the Feed Tube,
using consistent downward pressure.
