Make sure that the power unit is on a smooth, clean, suitable work surface and switched to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull the electrical cord out to the necessary length and plug into a convenient outlet. The mixing bowl with whipping whisk is now ready for operation. Sample recipes may be found in the recipe section, at the back of this manual.

Mixing bowl tips:

1. When using the mixing bowl to knead or mix a recipe designed to be prepared by hand, you will find that with the Bosch Food Processor you can usually place all the ingredients in the mixing bowl at once. When doing this, always place the liquids in first. This will assure more thorough mixing.

2. When adding ingredients to a mixture:

a. Turn the rotary switch to a lower

speed b. Remove the pusher/measuring cup c. Add the ingredients through the

feed tube and replace the

pusher/measuring cup.

3. If a large batch of dough is to be left in the mixing bowl and allowed to rise, the cover should be removed and placed loosely on the bowl so that it is free to move if the dough should begin to press on it.

How to Use Slicing and Grating Discs

All the MCM models comes with the mixing bowl, cover and pusher/measuring cup and reversible slicing disc and reversible coarse grating disc, see figures 5h and 5i. The MCM 5200 also comes with a fine grating disc, as shown in figure 5g. The slicing disc and the grating discs are intended to be used for slicing and/or grating of vegetables, as well slicing/grating of soft cheeses and sausages or meat and grating of vegetables and hard cheese.

W ARNING

1. Blades on discs are sharp. Handle carefully . Always use the center plastic holder to lift or handle discs. Do not grip the discs by the blades or metal surfaces.

2. When operating using the slicing or grating discs keep hands clear of filling tube. Only work with pusher.

3. Always operate the power unit with the cover in place.

Use of mixing bowl with slicing or grating discs Before beginning to attach this or any other attachment, make sure that the power unit is on a smooth, clean, suitable work surface and switched to the Off position, “O/Off,” and that you have the safety motor drive cover in place of the high speed, blender drive.

1. Before using the mixing bowl and slicing or grating discs for the first time they should be washed. See Before Using for the First Time, on page 4.

3. Engage the slicing or grating disc, by picking up the disc you wish to use, with the side you wish to use facing upward, by the plastic holder in the center of the disc and placing over the rectangular shank of the dual drive of the power unit.

WARNING

The blades on the discs are very sharp. Handle with care. Use center plastic holder when handling discs.

The cover should be in place whenever the power unit is in operation. The cover serves to prevent accidental contact with the moving disc. Also, the power unit will not operate unless the tab on the cover is in place and has engaged the safety cover interlock.

Placing into Operation with Slicing or Grating Disc

Make sure that the power unit is on a smooth, clean, suitable work surface and switched to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull the electrical cord out to the necessary length and plug into a convenient outlet. The mixing bowl with the slicing or grating disc is now ready for operation. Place items to be sliced, shredded or grated in feeding funnel and be sure to use the pusher to feed items into the discs when in operation.

Learning how to feed food properly into the feed funnel is the most important factor for proper slicing and grating:

1. For long slices or long shreds, place food into the feeding funnel lengthwise.

2. For short or circular slices, place food in the feeding tube on end. For example, if you wish to have circular slices of zucchini or carrots:

• cut to length not to extend above the

top of the feeding tube.

• place the cut zucchini or carrots in the feeding tube on end until the feeding tube is packed.

To slice a single narrow item, a carrot for example:

• place the carrot in the feeding funnel opposite the cutting edge of the disc.

The wall of the feeding funnel will then serve to hold the piece vertical.

When using the slicing or grating discs be sure to watch the level in the bowl and stop the slicing or grating before the level of the material being sliced, or grated reaches the level of the disc holder.

Slicing and grating tips:

1. Shopping for fruits and vegetables that will fit into the feeding funnel will simplify food preparation.

2. Foods that are to be used together may be sliced together. This can be used to your advantage. For example, green onions and celery are often used together, but feeding the green onions into the feeding funnel alone is difficult. Try slicing the green onions at the same time as the celery by interspersing them in the feeding funnel with the celery.

3. Use the slicing disc to shred lettuce.

4. Do not overcook potatoes that are to be sliced. Also it is recommended that you let them cool first. Potatoes must be cool and firm to obtain the regular slices.

If the slicing/grating disc do not turn (even after trying the highest speed) and it is humming the disc has become blocked by the contents. The power unit should be:

1. Switched to the Off position, “O/Off,” and unplugged.

2. The top cover should be removed and the items causing the blockage removed.

If power unit is not functioning see TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Removing Contents

Before beginning to remove the contents from the mixing bowl, make sure that the power unit has been turned to the Off position, “O/Off,” and unplugged. Remove the cover by turning counterclockwise and lifting off. Once the cover has been removed, whatever tool was being used in the bowl may be removed by lifting it straight up.

The mixing bowl can be removed from the power unit by turning the bowl counterclockwise while lifting.

The contents may now be used as desired.

Care and Cleaning of Bowl and Its Accessories

The mixing bowl, multifunction blade, whipping whisk, dough hook, reversible slicing disc, reversible grating disc and fine grating disc are dishwasher safe.

It is recommended that the whipping whisk be removed from its holder for cleaning.

After washing, rinsing and drying, the whisk may be placed back on the whisk holder by reversing the action to remove it, see figure 7.

It is recommended that, after cleaning, the mixing bowl and its cover be stored on the food processor. In this way, if you wish to at some later time to use the blender the mixing bowl and its cover will already be in place.

Note: The mixing bowl and its cover must

be in place with the top cover rotated clockwise so that tab on cover engages the cover interlock before the blender can be used. See below.

Blender with Unbreakable Plastic Jar

The MCM 5100 UC and MCM 5200 UC Bosch Food Processor include the blender accessory . The blender accessory consists of the components shown in figure 9.

WARNING

Placing Blender into Operation

The blender is now ready for operation.

Normally when blending, the blender jar should be filled with the entire amount of material to be blended, if possible, before switching the appliance on. The cover and cover closure should always be in place after filling the blender jar and before switching the power unit to On. Any subsequent additions to the blended material should be made through the cover opening, see figure

10. For solids and/or granular material, remove the cover closure/funnel to add the material, as shown in figure 1 1b. For liquids,

the closure/funnel may be left in place and the liquids added by pouring it into the closure/funnel, see figure 1 1a.

Example of Use of Blender

T o familiarize you with the operation of the blender, a sample recipe for mayonnaise is provided below:

Mayonnaise Recipe

1 whole egg

1/3 cup of vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice or light

vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2/3 cup of vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients, except final 2/3’s cup of oil, for a few seconds at speed 1, then quickly pour the oil in through the opening in the cover in a uniformly thick stream, as shown in figure 1 1a. Operate the blender at highest speed until mixture is thick and smooth (approximately 10-20 seconds). Makes 1 1/4 cups.

Tips: The blender should be operated with careful consideration as to what is required and/or desired. The speed at which the blender is operated and the length of operation for a given job will depend upon the degree of fineness desired or the amount being blended.

Figure 11.

When the blender is being used on dry materials, such as nuts or dry bread, the best results will be obtained when the blender jar is filled with approximately 1/2

cup of material to be blended. If the blender does not start (even after trying

the highest speed) and it is humming, the blade has become blocked by the contents.

The power unit should be:

1. Switched to off, “O/Off,” and unplugged.

2. The mixture should be removed and the contents at the bottom of the jar loosened.

If power unit is not functioning see TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Removing Contents

Before beginning to remove the contents from the blender, make sure that the power unit has been turned to the Off position, “O/Off,” and unplugged. Remove the blender from the power unit by turning the blender counterclockwise while lifting. With the blender removed from the power unit, the contents of the blender may now be poured into a suitable container or bowl, as desired.

Care and Cleaning of Blender All components of the blender , except the blender jar/blade assembly , are dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the blender jar/blade assembly be cleaned only under flowing water rather than in the dishwasher. Soap and detergent will tend to wash out the bearing lubricant of the blade/base assembly . Do not use scouring cleaners on any of the blender parts. With the power unit turned Off and unplugged, it should be cleaned only with a clean, damp cloth. Then wipe off the safety motor drive cover and reinstall on the power unit, if necessary. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning products to clean the power unit. Never immerse the power unit in water.
