IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

AVOID PREPARING SOME FOODS

The Food Processor may not beat egg whites to a desirable volume. It may not satisfactorily slice solidly frozen meat; slice or shred hard-cooked eggs, marshmallows, or very soft cheeses; or process foods which are so hard that the tip of a knife cannot

TO ASSEMBLE FOOD PROCESSOR IMPORTANT: Be sure the Food Processor is off and

unplugged before removing or inserting parts.

Food Processor Bowl

To attach Bowl to Base, hold Bowl with Front facing you (A). Set Bowl into Round Well and rotate until its Locking Tabs drop down into the Base. Twist the Bowl

counterclockwise as far as it will go. Be sure both Locking Tabs drop into place. Use markings on the Push Button Control Panel as a guide.

Reversible Slice/Shred Disc

NOTE: The Reversible Disc will slice or shred depending

upon which side is facing upward.

Position the Bowl on the Base and place the Disc Stem on the Center Post (B1). Grasp the Disc by the Center Hub with the desired side (slice or shred) facing upward. Rotate the Disc until it slides down into place.

IMPORTANT: For your protection, this unit has a system that locks the Cover and Bowl onto the Base for safe usage. Do not attempt to operate the unit without the Cover and Bowl locked correctly in place. An attempt to

do so will turn on the Indicator Light but the unit will not operate. If this happens check to ensure the cover is completely on.

French Fry Disc (MODEL FP1011 ONLY)

The French Fry Disc is also used with the Disc Stem. This Disc must be mounted with the cutting blades facing upward, and is installed the same way as the Slice/Shred Disc (C).

Knife Blade

Position the Bowl on the Base. Grasp the Blade by its Center Hub and slip the Blade down over the Center Post of the Bowl. (D).

To Puree:

The pre-cut feature eliminates the need to cut foods into small pieces before pureeing. Simply install the knife Blade in the Bowl, then grasp the thick slice disc by the Centre Hub and align hexagon shape of Hub over hexagon top of Knife Blade (E). Install the Cover. Insert the food into the Food Chute and using the pusher, pureeing can be achieved in one easy step.

Food Chute/Cover

Hold the Cover by the Food Chute with the handle cover at an angle to the Bowl just in front of the Bowl Handle (F). Lower the Cover over the Bowl and twist counterclockwise until it snaps firmly in place. Proper alignment will result with the handle cover over the Bowl Handle. If the Lid does not easily rotate to the Lock position, check to ensure the Bowl is fully rotated to the Lock position.

NOTE: If the Processor does not operate when it is turned on, be sure the Bowl and Cover are properly “locked“ into position. To remove the Cover, shut the Food Processor off and wait until the Disc has stopped rotating. Turn the Cover clockwise and lift the Cover off.

Food Pusher

Insert the Food Pusher into the Food Chute and lower it into place (G). Always use the Food Pusher to guide food through the Disc when slicing and shredding.

NOTE: The Food Pusher doubles as a measuring cup and has convenient millilitre and cup markings.

Food Fingers

To keep the food steady and minimize tilting of singlefood items (such as carrots), clip the Food Fingers into place on the top rim of the Food Chute (H).

Center the food in front of the Food Fingers. They will press against the food and hold it in place. Insert the Pusher, press down, and process.

PUSH BUTTON CONTROLS “On” Indicator Light

This light comes on when the On Switch has been activated even if the Bowl and Cover have not been locked into place. If the Indicator is on before you close the Lid, press the Off Button and then rotate the lid to the Lock position.

• Use the On position for longer processing tasks, such as making peanut butter, smooth spreads, dips, etc.

2-Speed Buttons (Model FP1011)

• When the “II” button is pressed, the unit will run at High Speed until the OFF or “I” button is pressed.

• When the “I” button is pressed, the unit will run at LOW SPEED until the OFF or “II” button is pressed.

• For most applications requiring longer processing, use HIGH SPEED (II).Use LOW SPEED (I) for higher volumes of liquid (3 to 4 cups/750 to 1000 ml).

• To store the unit, push the cord into the storage compartment at the back of the unit.

Cleaning

• Before cleaning, be sure the unit is off and unplugged. from outlet.

• Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing to make cleanup easier.

• Wipe the base with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the Base in liquid.

• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.

• For long shreds or slices, arrange 2 1/2” (65 mm) food pieces horizontally in the Food Chute. These are attractive in salads, Oriental dishes, and vegetable dips (M).

Food Quantity

• Medium-sized loads chop more evenly than large ones. If your recipe calls for 4 medium onions, for instance, chop them 2 at a time; so they will be evenly chopped without being over-processed.

Food Temperature

• Fruits, vegetables, and medium-hard cheeses should be processed at refrigerator temperature.

• Parmesan and Romano cheese should be processed at room temperature. See “Processing Cheese” for techniques.

–If washing by hand, use in hot, sudsy water, rinse,

and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the Bowl and Food Chute/Cover; this type of brush will also help to prevent cutting yourself on the Knife Blade and Reversible Discs.

–If washing in a dishwasher, the Knife Blade and

Discs should be placed on the upper rack – not in or near the utensil basket where your hand could be cut when removing utensils.

• Do not use rough scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.

• Do not fill the Bowl with boiling water. Do not place any of the parts in boiling water.

• Do not let the Knife Blade or Discs soak in water for any length of time.

FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

Empty the bowl when food reaches the lower rim of the Cover. Remove the Disc or Blade before removing food from the bowl.

Food Size

• When chopping, quarter foods or cut them into 1” (25 mm) pieces. Large pieces chop unevenly, with some particles coarse and others overprocessed. When slicing or shredding foods which are too large for the Food Chute, decrease the size by first pre-cutting them by hand to fit (K).

• When slicing and shredding, cut long foods to fit the Food Chute [approximately 3 1/2” (90 mm)] for best results.

• When processing long, narrow foods, pack the Food Chute so food will stand upright. Slices will then be round and even (L).
