Tips and Techniques
• Add the bowl scraper to bowl
before processing ingredients
that will stick to the sides of
the bowl.
•
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 and
leave room in bowl for the
food to be tossed around.
• 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 the
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 the processor
rest about 4 minutes before
continuing.
• 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 or Swiss that has
been chilled for at least 30
minutes. Cheese should be
processed immediately after
being removed from the
refrigerator. Soft cheese like
mozzarella must be placed in
the freezer for 30 minutes prior
to processing to ensure it is
firm enough for shredding.
• The reversible slicing/shredding
disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on
the other. The name stamped
on the blade, facing up, is the
function selected. Place on
motor shaft with desired
cutting edge facing up.
Processing Charts
Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. The label should face
up for the desired function. When using disc attachments, do not
process past the MAX LEVEL on the bowl.
For best results do not exceed the following amounts when
chopping, mincing, or pureeing with the chopping/mixing blade.
