BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the Mini Food Processor and remove all packaging
materials. Handle the Knife Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc carefully;
they are very sharp. Set the Base on a clean, dry countertop or table.
Wash all parts except the Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. The Base may be wiped with a damp cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER.
USING THE ON/OFF/PULSE SWITCH
The ON/OFF/PULSE Switch is conveniently located on the top of the Mini
Food Processor. The three positions operate as follows:
ON
When the Switch is pressed to the ON position, the
unit will begin operation. It will continue to operate
until the Switch is pressed to the OFF position. Use the
ON position for longer processing tasks, such as making
salad dressings or dips.
PULSE
When the Switch is pressed to the PULSE position and held, the unit will
begin to operate. When the PULSE position is released, the operation will
stop. Use this position for short processing tasks, such as chopping
vegetables or nuts. You will find that the PULSE position is used more
frequently, as it gives you greater control over your food processing.
OFF
The OFF position is the middle position. Always leave the Switch in the OFF
position while you are preparing foods for processing and when the unit is
not in use.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
Fresh, crisp and firm fruits and vegetables process best.
•
Fruits and vegetables should be processed at refrigerator temperature.
•
Wash and remove inedible parts of food before processing.
•
Process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients second when using
several different foods in a recipe or making several different recipes;
this reduces the number of times the Container must be washed and
dried.
•
When slicing and shredding, cut longer and larger foods to fit the
length and width of the Food Chute.
•
When chopping, cut pieces in uniform size pieces. Large pieces tend to
chop unevenly.
•
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the Container when necessary.
