the work bowl. If this happens, remove the cover, lift the blade out carefully and
remove the wedged piece. Empty the bowl, reinsert the blade and lock the cover into
place. Process smaller amounts of the food at
one time.
USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO SLICE AND SHRED
1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base in the usual way.
(See page 10.)
2. Pick up adapter stem. Hold stem by side that has the octagon shape (eight sided)
and push rounded side down as far as it will go on motor shaft.
3. Place the reversible slicing/shredding disc with the desired cutting edge facing up
onto the adapter stem. Always handle slicing/shredding disc by the rim. Never
touch sharp cutting blades.
4. Put cover on work bowl, lock it into place by twisting it clockwise and insert food
in feed tube.
5. Insert pusher. Use moderate pressure to push down on pusher with one hand
while using your other hand to push the On button, Pulse button, and hold down
the Food Processor button. Slicing and shredding only take a few seconds.
Wait until disc stops spinning before removing cover. When it stops, remove cover
before removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together;
this could damage work bowl.
6. Remove slicing/shredding disc before removing work bowl. To remove it, grasp
flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight up.
Holding work bowl collar, turn work bowl counterclockwise and lift it straight up to
remove it from base.

Chopping Nuts
Pulse ½ cup of nuts (shells removed) on Chop 4 to 5 times. Turn blender off; scrape
blender jar with spatula. Turn blender on and pulse on Chop 2 to 3 times. Turn
blender off. Pulse fewer times for more coarsely chopped results. For best results,
process no more than 1 cup at a time.
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs
For best results, use day-old bread (drier bread works best). Break bread slices into
½" pieces, and process no more than 1 cup of pieces at a time on Mix for 5 to 10
seconds. Crackers and cookies should also be broken into ½" pieces; process 1 cup
at a time on Mix for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn blender off.
Crushing Ice
(Blender jar only)
Add up to 10 large ice cubes to blender jar. Press the Ice Crush button, using short
bursts, 10 times or until cubes are the consistency of snow. Turn blender off. Pulse
fewer times if coarsely chopped ice is desired.
Grating Citrus Zest
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and dry. Remove
zest from fruit in strips (using vegetable peeler). Use no more than 8 strips at a time
(zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 teaspoon sugar (from
recipe) to the blender jar. Blend on Food Processor speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn
blender off.
Grinding Hard Cheese
Cut cheese into ½" pieces. Blend on Food Processor speed for 30 seconds. Turn
blender off. For best results, grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.
Grinding Spices
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½
cup of spices, seeds or peppercorns to blender jar. Blend on Food Processor speed
for 30 to 35 seconds. Turn blender off.
Whipping Cream
Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy cream) at a time. Blend on mix, and process
for 45 to 60 seconds or until creamy and smooth. If making sweetened cream, add
sugar after 10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes about 1 cup.
Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Rehydrate 1 ounce of sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup boiling water. Allow to sit for 10
minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes and water to blender jar. Cover and pulse on
Food Processor speed 5 times; then run continuously on Food Processor speed for
15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes about ½
cup of puréed tomatoes.
