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.
• 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 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 Processor
rest about 4 minutes before
continuing.
• Do not fill bowls past MAX FILL
LEVEL for dry ingredients or
past MAX LIQUID FILL LEVEL
for wet ingredients.
• 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,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss that
has been chilled for at least 30
minutes.
• Reversible Slicing/Shredding
Disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on
other and can only be used with
Large Bowl. Name engraved
on Blade, facing up, is function
selected. For slicing, the word
“SLICE” should face up; for
shredding, the word “SHRED”
should face up. Place on Motor
Shaft with desired cutting edge
facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice,
remove from Bowl, and restack
vegetables. Pack into Food
Chute with slices vertical. Slice
again to make matchstick-cut
vegetables.
