Blending Tips

Liquids

• Put liquids into the jar first, unless the recipe says otherwise. Add more liquid if ingredients are not blending properly.

Using the Filler Cap

• Do not remove the lid while in use. Instead, open the filler cap to add smaller ingredients.

Ice Crushing

• Without Liquid: use pulse button until you achieve desired results.
• With Liquid: Add desired amount of ice cubes and water until ice floats. Blend on High until you achieve desired results then strain off water.

Working with Hot Foods or Liquids

• WARNING: When you work with HOT FOODS, remove the filler cap to vent steam. Tilt the lid away from you partially covering the opening. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.
• WARNING:When you work with HOT LIQUIDS, remove the filler cap and start at a low speed, and then gradually increase to a faster speed. Do not add liquid over the 4 cup (1L) level. Always keep hands away from steam.

Ingredient Quantities

• Use only the amount of food suggested in the recipes. If you want greater amounts, prepare in batches. Using larger amounts may overload and strain the motor. You might also get different results from those described.

Cleaning

• Unplug Motor Base Before Cleaning.
• WARNING: Do Not Immerse Adaptor in Water. Always Remove Adaptor from processor Bowl Before cleaning.
• Keep S Blade and Disk out of the reach of children. Store the S Blade and Disk in the Bowl or in a convenient, safe location when not in use. This Blade and Disk should be treated with the same caution as a sharp knife.
• Remove stains caused by processing large amounts of carrots or similar vegetables with baking soda. Rinse stained parts in water and sprinkle with baking soda. Rub with a soft, damp cloth. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any parts.

Maintenance

• This unit is designed with a safety interlock. The interlock requires that the Cover be in place before the blade will rotate. (The interlock does not control operation of the Motor.) To ensure that the interlock is operating correctly, hold the Adaptor and rotate the Drive Shaft several turns. The metal Star Drive on the bottom of the Adaptor should NOT turn. If it does turn, DO NOT USE. Return the unit to an authorized service facility for repair. DO NOT USE THE INTERLOCK FEATURE AS A SUBSTITUTE for turning the power unit “OFF” and unplugging the power unit before disassembling and cleaning. Never put S Blade on Adaptor without Processor Bowl. Do not operate if the flexible seal is damaged or missing. The safety interlock could become jammed.

Processing Tips

1. Cut all fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish, seafoods and cheeses into pieces 1 inch or smaller.
2. Do not exceed the quantities indicated in the Food Processing Charts.
3. Always hold hand firmly on the Cover when starting and running Motor.
4. Do not process hot liquids or frozen foods.
5. Do not process whole spices (except peppercorns) such as nutmeg or cinnamon. They may cause damage to the surface of the Processor Bowl.
6. Process the hardest foods first, using only a few Fast Pulses to begin chopping. Add more delicate foods and continue to process using the Fast Pulse technique. The harder foods will continue to be chopped along with the softer foods.
7. Processing of Parmesan cheese, dried dates or other extremely hard foods is not recommended. If a knife cannot easily pierce the food, it should NOT be processed in the Food Processor Accessory.
8. The Food Processor Accessory is not designed to whip cream, whip egg whites or process dough. Use a standard mixer for those tasks.
9. If liquid leaks from Cover, there is too much liquid in the recipe. Adjust the liquid level to prevent leakage.
10. The temperature of cheese will affect how it processes. Cheese for spreads should be at room temperature for a smooth, creamy texture. “Grated” cheese should be refrigerator cold.
11. Large, harder pieces of food can be processed with several Fast Pulses to coarsely chop. Then process continuously for a fine texture. Only the “Food Chop/Salsa” Pre-Programmed setting is functional when Food processor is attached.

To Convert a Recipe

1. Total the amount of dry and liquid ingredients. If the total exceeds 5 cups, decide if the recipe can be made easily in batches. Do not attempt to process large recipes.
2. If total is under 1 cup (250 ml), process dry ingredients or the most finely chopped foods first.
3. Then add remaining ingredients and combine with several Fast Pulses to mix together.
