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.
• 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,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss that
has been chilled for at least
30 minutes.
• The reversible slicing/shredding
disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on the
other side. The name engraved
on the blade, facing up, is the
function selected. For slicing,
the word “SLICE” should face
up; for shredding, the word
“SHRED” should face up. Place
on motor shaft with desired
cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice,
remove from bowl, and restack
the vegetables. Pack into food
chute with slices vertical. Slice
again to make matchstick-cut
vegetables.
