TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Helpful hints
• To avoid damage to the blade or motor,
do not process food that is so hard or
rmly 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
Food Processor and remove the blade.
Gently remove food from the blade.
• Do not overll work bowl. For thin
mixtures, ll work bowl up to 1/2 to 2/3
full. For thicker mixtures, ll work bowl
up to 3/4 full. For liquids, ll up to the
maximum level as described in “Using the
Food Processor” section. When chopping,
the work bowl should be no more than
1/3 to 1/2 full.
• Position slicing discs 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 Food
Processor, drop ingredients to be chopped
through the feed tube while the Food
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 rmer 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 3-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 rst. Add dry
ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top
of our mixture to prevent overchopping.
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 Food
Processor and redistribute the food using
a spatula.
• When food quantity reaches the bottom
of a slicing or 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 a spatula to remove ingredients
from the work bowl.
• Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowl cleanup. Process dry or rm
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 unchilled
meats.
• If any plastic parts should discolor due to
the types of food processed, clean them
with lemon juice.
