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 and
leave room in Bowl for 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
Food Processor to grind grain,
coffee beans, or spices; slice
frozen meats; knead dough;
or crush ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce best
results and control to attain
desired size pieces.
• 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 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 attachment is reversible and labeled. The label should face up
for the desired function. When using Disc, 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.
