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 Stainless Steel
Chopping 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; 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 Food
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 should 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.
• To julienne vegetables, slice and
then remove from Bowl. Restack
the vegetables. Pack into Food
Chute with slices vertical. Slice
again to make matchstick-cut
vegetables.
Processing Charts
Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. The stamped
label should face up for the desired function. When using disc
attachments, do not process past the MAX Fill Line on the Bowl.
