USING THE DICING DISK (ORANGE)

Important: The dicing disk can only be used with the large workbowl. Only run the processor on LOW speed when using the dicing disk. DO NOT use dicing disk with small workbowl.

1. Lock workbowl onto base.

2. Place the dicing shaft into the bottom of the dicing disk and turn clockwise to lock it into place. (F)

3. Carefully pick up the dicing assembly using the ﬁnger holes in the top of the disk and place in the workbowl over the center post. (G)

4. Place the dicing disk with the grid facing the

workbowl handle (facing right) into the workbowl.

Dicing disk can only be properly installed when grid faces the processor handle.

5. Push the dicing disk down, making sure it is secure in the work bowl.

6. Grasp dicing blade by the center using the ﬁnger grips. Insert the curved plastic edge under the outer edge of the dicing disk. (H) Place center of blade down onto the top of the visible dicing shaft in the center of the dicing disk. You may need to rotate the center of the blade slightly to ﬁnd the ﬁt.

Important: Be sure to only handle blade with the safe ﬁnger grips. Important: Always place the curved end of the blade under the lip of the dicing

disk FIRST and then place the center of the blade on the center post of disk.

7. Place the lid on the food processor and lock into place. Place the ingredients to be diced into the feed chute. Turn the processor on LOW speed and use the food pusher to guide ingredients down.

Important: Do not use the dicing disk on MEDIUM or HIGH speed. Only use LOW speed for best results.

8. After dicing and turning the processor off, unplug, then remove the lid and carefully lift the blade off the center post by lifting center of blade ﬁrst, then pulling the curved edge up and away from the work bowl lip. (I)

Important: You must remove dicing blade from the dicing disk before using the dicing cleanout tool. Do not use the cleanout tool if the dicing disk is not in the workbowl.

9. Prior to removing the dicing disk from the workbowl, place the dicing cleanout tool in the holes on the dicing disk, aligning the outer posts with the outer notches (J). The curved edge of the cleanout tool aligns with the curved edge of the disk. Push cleanout tool down into the dicing grid. This will push remaining food out of the grid, enabling you to wash the dicing disk more efﬁciently.

Note: Hard foods like carrots may require more force to remove with the dicing cleanout tool. It is normal for some foods to remain in the grid until grid is washed.

10. Using the ﬁnger holes in the top of the dicing disk, lift the disk straight up to remove the disk from the food processor. Empty workbowl. (K)

11. Remove the dicing shaft from the dicing disk by turning counterclockwise.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING

THE DICING DISK

• Operate the dicing disk on LOW speed.

• It is recommended to stop dicing when workbowl is 60% full.

• Blade must be removed from the top of the disk before using the cleanout tool.

• Cut the ends of food to be diced off for most uniform dice.

• For small and soft foods, such as strawberries, use the smallest feed chute for best results.

• When dicing multiple ingredients, dice softer foods ﬁrst and end with hardest food.

• When dicing soft cheese, chill or freeze cheese prior to dicing.

• Not recommended for dicing corned beef, raw meat, or chicken.

• When dicing tomatoes, it is recommended to seed and peel them ﬁrst.

• Firm, seedless cucumbers work best.

USING THE SLICING DISK (GREEN)

Important: The slicing disk can only be used with the large workbowl. Only run the processor on MEDIUM or LOW speed when using the slicing disk. DO NOT use slicing disk with small workbowl.

1. Lock the large workbowl into position on base.

2. Carefully place the slicing disk onto center post in workbowl. You may need to rotate disk slightly until it ﬁts onto post.

3. Place lid on workbowl and lock into place by rotating counterclockwise. Place the food pushers into the feed chute. Put ingredients in the feed chute and guide food down towards blade with the food pusher.

Note: Position slicing disk just to the right of the feed chute. This allows the blade a full rotation before contacting the food.

4. To adjust the slicing thickness, move the lever at the base of feed chute forward and backwards to desired thickness setting (1-5mm). Turn the lever counterclockwise towards the front of the food processor for thicker slices and clockwise towards the back of the food processor for thinner slices. You are able to adjust thickness while the processor is running. (L)

5. Press MEDIUM or LOW speed to slice; press lightly but ﬁrmly on food pusher to guide food through processor.

Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher only as a guide. Let the processor do the work. Pushing too hard may result in inconsistent slicing thickness.

Note: It is possible to change the thickness of your slices by changing

pressure on the food item when guiding it into the feed tube. Use more

pressure for a thicker slice and less pressure for a thinner slice. Note: Changing thickness settings with other disks or blades installed will have

no effect on the operation.

6. When ﬁnished, press PULSE|OFF and allow the disk to stop revolving completely and unplug the appliance before removing lid. Twist lid clockwise to remove.

7. Carefully remove slicing disk by lifting straight up off center post.

4. Place lid on workbowl and lock into place by rotating lid counterclockwise

5. Follow remaining steps as indicated in USING THE SHREDDING DISK IN THE LARGE WORKBOWL.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SLICING OR SHREDDING

• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the processor cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in the feed chute.

• Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing

• Select foods that are ﬁrm and not over ripe.

• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.

• When slicing thinner vegetables cut them just short of the length of the feed chute; stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.

• A few large pieces of food may remain on top of the disk after slicing or shredding. If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture.

• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding. For best results with soft cheeses such as mozzarella, freeze 15-20 minutes before processing. Cut to ﬁt feed tube and process using even pressure.

• To slice uncooked meat, cut or roll food to ﬁt feed tube. Remove all visible fat. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch but not solidly frozen, 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the thickness of the food. Check to be sure you can still pierce the food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly and process using even pressure.

• To slice cooked meat, including salami and pepperoni, food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to ﬁt feed tube and process food using ﬁrm, even pressure.

• Remove the slicing/shredding disk before removing the workbowl from the processor.

USING THE MINI S BLADE IN THE SMALL WORKBOWL

1. Lock large workbowl into position on food processor base.

2. Place small workbowl in large workbowl, ﬁtting the tabs on the outside of the small bowl into the notches on the large workbowl. This will hold the small bowl ﬁrmly in place. (Q)

3. Carefully place the mini S blade on blade shaft in bottom of workbowl.

4. Place lid on workbowl and lock into place by rotating lid counterclockwise.

5. Follow remaining steps as outlined in USING THE S BLADE IN THE LARGE WORKBOWL.

Important: Disks and blades must be removed before removing small workbowl.

6. To remove small workbowl from large workbowl, use the two ﬁnger grips to lift up.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR USING

THE S BLADE

• The processor works very quickly, watch carefully to avoid over-processing foods.

• For best results, process foods that are about the same size.

• When chopping cooked or raw meat, the food should be very cold.

• Processing nuts or other hard foods may scratch the surface ﬁnish on the inside of the bowl.

• Do not overﬁll the bowl.

• Never walk away from the processor while it is on.

• Use hot but never boiling liquids.

• The large workbowl has a capacity of 4 cups (32 oz) for liquid and 10 cups (80 oz.) for dry foods; the small workbowl can process up to 3 cups.

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

Important: The dough blade can only be used with the large workbowl. Only run the processor on LOW speed when using the dough blade.

1. Lock workbowl onto base.

2. Place dough blade on blade shaft and turn it clockwise to lock it onto bottom of shaft. You will feel it lock into place. Push dough blade and shaft down onto center post in workbowl until it is fully seated. (R)

8. Unplug appliance when not in use.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING THE DOUGH BLADE

• For best results do not prepare recipes using more than 3½ cups ﬂour.

• Begin with 1 cup less than the maximum amount of ﬂour and add additional ﬂour, as needed, once mixture is well blended.

• Pour liquid through feed chute in a slow steady stream.

• Knead dough no longer than one minute.

• Do not leave processor unattended during operation.

GENERAL TIPS FOR USING THE PROCESSOR

• Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.

• The processor will be more efﬁcient if ﬁlled no more than

• If shredded, sliced or diced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and redistribute the food using a spatula.

• To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the feed chute with the processor running.

• To minimize slender foods, such as carrots or celery, from falling over in the feed chute, cut food into several pieces and pack the feed chute with the food.

• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and slightly more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).

• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted into the food.

• If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and unplug, then remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.

• When chopping sticky dried fruits, place the fruits in the freezer for about 10 minutes and add a little ﬂour or sugar to keep the pieces from sticking together.

• When preparing cake or cookie batter, use the S blade to cream fat and sugar ﬁrst and add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of ﬂour mixture to prevent over chopping. Process nuts and fruits using short pulses to blend with other ingredients.

• When using the slicing, shredding or dicing disk, do not let the food accumulate too high (over 2/3 full); stop and empty the workbowl.

• Do not use the processor to:

- Grind coffee beans, bones, grains or hard spices

- Liquefy fruits and vegetables

- Slice or chop warm meat

/2 to 2/3 full.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualiﬁed service professional.

Important: Always unplug your processor from the outlet before cleaning.

CLEANING

Important: blades are sharp. Handle blades and disks carefully.

• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.

• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easier cleaning.

• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.

• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in dishwasher, top rack

only (T). Hand-washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor’s appearance.

• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.

• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts to clean.

• Do not allow blades or disks to soak in water for long periods of time.

• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade. Use a brush to remove any residual food particles.

• If you are having trouble closing the lid over the workbowl, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.

CLEANING TIPS:
