Assembling Your Oskar® Food Processor

Using Clear Container and Cover:

Before you begin, PLEASE BE SURE THAT THE ELECTRIC CORD IS UNPLUGGED.

Set up the motor base facing you on a dry, level surface with the tallest side of the motor housing to the rear.

NOTE: Located on the top, back of the motor base is an arrow and the words “LOCK-ON” to the left and “UNLOCK-OFF” to the right. Turn the clear bowl in the direction indicated to turn the food processor ON or OFF.

Place the clear Processing Container over the drive shaft on the motor base and rotate the container until it drops down evenly on the base. Now turn the Container until it locks firmly into position.

NOTE: Each time you re-assemble your food processor, be sure to attach the Container first and lock it into position. Then, attach the Cover.

Place the cutting/processing blade over the drive shaft, rotating it slightly until it drops into place. If you plan to process with blade, now is the time to add ingredients. THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP. USE CAUTION HANDLING THIS BLADE.

To attach the cover, place the Cover on the Container so that the large locking tab of the cover is to the right-hand side near the horizontal slot at the back of the motor base. When turned counterclockwise, the tab will engage the automatic switch and the OSKAR® Food Processor will turn ON. By moving the cover in the opposite direction, it will turn OFF.

NOTE: The stainless steel cutting/processing blade can only be used in the OSKAR® Food Processor's clear processing container for in-bowl chopping, mixing or puréeing functions; NEVER with continuous flow cover on top of the clear bowl.

Assembling Your Oskar® Food Processor

Using Continuous Flow Cover:

Set up the motor base facing you on a dry, level surface with the tallest side of the motor housing to the rear.

Place the clear Processing Container over the drive shaft on the motor base. Lock into place.

Place the ejector disc into the container by holding the stem and placing the disc over the drive shaft. Allow it to drop into place.

For slicing, hold the slicer/shredder disc with the raised, curved slicing edge facing upwards. Place the disc over the ejector disc and allow it to drop into position.

For shredding, turn the disc over so that shredding notches are facing upwards. Place the disc over the ejector disc and allow it to drop into position.

To attach the cover, place it onto the container so that the pin in the cover fits into the hole at the top of the ejector disc. The large locking tab on the lid is to the right-hand side, near the horizontal slot on the motor housing: when turned counterclockwise, the tab will engage the automatic switch and the OSKAR® Food Processor will turn ON. Turn the cover in the opposite direction to turn it OFF.

Note: Keep fingers away from the Continuous Flow Chute when the OSKAR® Food Processor is operating.

5

For more control over slicing and shredding, load the Feed Tube with ingredients first, before turning the OSKAR® Food Processor ON. Always use the Food Pusher to yield more evenly sliced or shredded foods – NEVER YOUR FINGERS.

Note: The OSKAR® Blade and Cutting Disc are extremely sharp! Use caution when handling, and storing them safely in their respective containers.

Rest the Food Pusher in the Tube. Now, holding the Food Pusher with one hand, and Feed Tube in the other, rotate the cover to the ON position while pushing gently down on the food pusher. Turn the OSKAR® Food Processor OFF.

Food Processing Techniques – Using the Blade

Pulsing Techniques:

The OSKAR® Food Processor processes food very quickly; in most cases, in seconds! Therefore, foods can easily become over processed if you don’t watch carefully. We suggest that when using the Steel Blade in the Clear Processing Container, you process foods no more than a few seconds at a time, turning the OSKAR® Food Processor ON and OFF frequently until the desired results are obtained. To use this “Pulsing Technique”, simply rotate the cover

so that the Locking Tab moves in and out of the Automatic Switch Slot. Pulsing ensures excellent results every time.

NOTE: Please be sure that the Steel Blade has stopped spinning completely before removing the Cover.

6

Placing Food Into the Container:

For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are of about equal size. When you cut, break or tear foods into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform, too.

You will get faster, more consistent processing results if you do not overload the container. When using the cutting/processing blade, fill the container with only 3/4 to 1 cup of ingredients at a time.

NOTE: When processing a heavy load, check to be sure the OSKAR® Food Processor is sitting firmly on the counter or table top. DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE OSKAR® FOOD PROCESSOR WHILE PROCESSING.

Chopping Meats:

Pre-cut meats into pieces about 3/4 inch square Place the pieces in the container, replace the cover and process using the pulse technique for 5 to 7 seconds. never process more than 1 cup of meat cubes at one time.

Chopping Vegetables:

When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter; cut large onions into eighths Place 3/4 cup of the pieces into the container, turning the OSKAR® Food Processor ON and OFF 1 to 2 times to coarsely chop, 3 to 4 times more to finely chop. Scrape sides of container once or twice during processing, if necessary.

Adding Dry Ingredients:

When various recipes call for dry ingredients such as flour, add them directly into the container before processing.

Adding Liquid Ingredients:

Liquid ingredients may be added while the processor is operating by pouring them through the pouring hole in the cover.

Note: When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the OSKAR® Food Processor and scrape down the container sides and cover.

7

Mincing:

Now you can mince garlic, parsley and spices in seconds! Simply drop halved garlic cloves or parsley sprigs into the container and process Minced foods that cling to the container are easily swept out with a spatula.

Removing the Blade:

When you have finished processing, unplug electrical cord from the outlet. Remove the cover Remove the cutting/processing Blade with food clinging to it before removing any food from container. THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THIS BLADE Clean the Blade with a scraper over the bowl. Note: Always wait for the blade or disc to stop moving completely before removing the cover.

Removing the Container:

Place the cover on the Container. Use the OSKAR® Food Processor's cover to help remove the Container. Rotate the cover clockwise

180 degrees until the two tabs on the cover meet the two Container tabs. Continue to turn the cover, using firm pressure, with our thumb against the tabs until the Container is released Empty the remaining food from the Container.

8

Packing the Food Tube

One of the most important procedures for successful slicing and shredding with

your new Sunbeam OSKAR® Food Processor is the way in which you place or pack food in the Feed Tube.

When slicing or shredding, cut all ingredients first to a size that fits comfortably into the OSKAR® Feed Tube. Pack the Feed Tube. While holding food steady and upright with the Food Pusher, press down consistently until all ingredients are sliced or shredded evenly. The more firmly you push, the thicker the slices or shreds.

For best results, the Feed Tube should always be packed somewhat firmly. Foods positioned horizontally in the tube will produce long slices or shreds.

For better results, when shredding softer cheeses, such as American, Cheddar, Mozzarella or Swiss, the cheese should be well chilled before processing. Harder cheeses such as Parmesan or Romano should be at room temperature before processing, and grated with the cutting/processing blade.

Preparing the Food:

foods such as carrots or be cut into even lengths,

4 inches long. Pack the the Feed Tube.

shorter slices or shreds: items vertically in the

longer slices or shreds: items horizontally in the

Cleaning, Storing and Caring for Your Oskar® Food Processor

When you have finished processing, unplug the OSKAR® Food Processor from the electrical outlet and remove the cover, slicing/shredding disc or cutting/processing blade and the container from the motor base.

Wipe the base of your unit a damp cloth, then polish it lightly with a dry one. NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN ANY LIQUID.

The processing container, covers, cutting/processing blade, slicing/shredding disc, ejector disc and food pusher are all dishwasher safe. These parts may be cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher.

REMEMBER TO USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE CUTTING/PROCESSING BLADE AND SLICING/SHREDDING DISC. THEY ARE VERY SHARP!

Cleaning the internal shaft of your cutting/processing blade is most important. We suggest the use of a small percolator or baby bottle brush to remove any food particles, then wash and dry the shaft thoroughly.

Sunbeam suggests that you store the OSKAR® Food Processor on a dry counter or table top in your kitchen, where it will always be ready for immediate use. Store the cutting/processing blade in the clear container. Store the slicing/shredding disc in a safe location (OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN). The OSKAR® blades are EXTREMELY sharp! Use caution when handling the blades.

After washing and drying the Container, you may wish to apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the Cover and Container. This lubrication allows the cover to move freely when in contact with the Container.

ALWAYS STORE DISC AND BLADE OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!

A Few Things To Remember:

1.Use the OSKAR® Food Processor only on a dry, level surface – never outdoors, on a damp surface or on a table edge.

2.Never remove the Cover or the Processor until the Blade or Disc has come to a complete stop and the unit has been unplugged from an electrical outlet.

3.The motor of your OSKAR® Food Processor has been permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no further attention. Other than recommended cleaning,

no further user maintenance should be necessary. Return your Food Processor

to the nearest Sunbeam authorized independent service center if servicing or repairs become necessary.

Food Processing Suggestions

•Check the food you are processing!

•Over processing is easily done, because the Food Processor works so fast. Don’t hesitate to stop the unit and check the food you are processing. You can

always process the food a little longer if the food isn’t fine enough. For greater control, you may with to process the food using a pulsing technique.

•When slicing or shredding, always use the Food Pusher. NEVER use your fingers or other objects to push the food into the Feed Tube.

•Be careful not to drop spoons, spatulas or other utensils into the Feed Tube.

•If any items should become caught between the blade and the side of the container, turn OFF the Food Processor and wait until the blade stops turning. Then, unplug the unit, remove the cover and lift the blade to free the food item.

•Do not overload the machine. The OSKAR® Food Processor processes ingredients so quickly that even large quantities can be prepared in seconds if common sense is used about the quantity of food put into the container at any time.

•We recommend processing no more then 3/4 to 1 cup of ingredients at a time.

•Never attempt to process hard ingredients that cannot be cut by a normal kitchen knife. Things like coffee beans and ice will dull the blade and scratch the container; shredding or slicing something very hard may damage the disc.

•Keep the Food Processor out of the reach of children.

•The Food Processor is not intended to be used as a blender.

•The Container should not be put in the microwave.

•Processing food such as carrots, may temporarily discolor parts of the Food Processor. To remove discoloration, wash and dry parts thoroughly and allow to air dry overnight.
