| TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
• To avoid damage to the blade or motor,
do not process food that is so hard or
firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced
with the tip of a sharp knife. If a piece
of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes
wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the
processor and remove the blade. Gently
remove food from the blade.
• Do not overfill work bowl. For thin
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 1/2 to 2/3
full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl
up to 3/4 full. For liquids, the work bowl
should be no more than 2/3 full. When
chopping, the work bowl should
be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full.
• Position slicing/shredding disc so the
cutting surface is just to the right of the
feed tube. This allows the blade a full
rotation before contacting the food.
• To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running.
• Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and slicing
results. In general, use light pressure
for soft, delicate foods (strawberries,
tomatoes, etc.), moderate pressure for
medium foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.),
and firmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially
frozen meats, etc.).
• Soft and medium-hard cheese may
spread out or roll up on the shredding
disc. To avoid this, shred only well-chilled
cheese.
• Sometimes slender foods, such as carrots
or celery, fall over in the feed tube,
resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize
this, cut food in
several pieces and
pack the feed tube
with the food. For
processing small
or slender items,
the small feed
tube in the 2-piece
food pusher will
prove especially
convenient.
• When preparing a cake or cookie batter
or quick bread, use the multipurpose
blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add
dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit
on top of flour mixture to prevent over-
chopping. Process nuts and fruits, using
short pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not overprocess.
• When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula.
• When food quantity reaches the bottom
of the slicing/shredding disc, remove
the food.
• A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disc after slicing
or shredding. If desired, cut these by
hand and add to mixture.
• Use the spatula to remove ingredients
from the work bowl.
• Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm
ingredients before liquid ingredients.
• To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily, just empty
the work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse
1 to 2 seconds to spin the blade clean.
• After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
• Your Food Processor is not designed
to perform the following functions:
-
Grind coffee beans, grains, or
hard spices
- Grind bones or other inedible
parts of food
- Liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
- Slice hard-cooked eggs or room-
temperature meats.
• If any plastic parts should discolor due
to the types of food processed, clean
them with lemon juice.
