Tips for Great Results
Using the Multipurpose Blade
To chop fresh fruits or
vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds.
Cut food in 1 to 11/2-inch
(2.5-3.75 cm) pieces. Process
food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to
2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if
necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables
(except potatoes):
Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe per
cup (235 ml) of food. Process food, using
short pulses, until nely chopped. Then
process continuously until reaching desired
texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Shred hot cooked potatoes using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc for
multipurpose blade. Add softened butter,
milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times, 2 to
3 seconds each time, until smooth and milk is
absorbed. Do not over process.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup (60
ml) our from recipe per 1/2 cup (120 ml)
dried fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses,
until reaching desired texture.
To nely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion
(without white membrane) from citrus. Cut
peel in small strips. Process until
nely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or
small quantities of vegetables:
With processor running, add food through
the feed tube. Process until chopped. For
best results, make sure work bowl and herbs
are very dry before chopping.
To chop nuts or make nut butters:
Process up to 3 cups (710 ml) of nuts to
desired texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2
seconds each time. For a coarser texture,
process smaller batches, pulsing 1 or 2
times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Pulse more
often for ner texture. For nut butters,
process continuously until smooth. Store in
refrigerator.
NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard
foods may scratch the surface nish on
the inside of the bowl.
To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry
or seafood:

Food Processing Tips
20
To shred rm and soft
cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very
cold. For best results with soft cheeses,
such as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes
before processing. Cut to t feed tube.
Process using even pressure.
To cut julienne, or match
stick, strips of vegetables
and fruits using the optional
julienne disc (not included):
Cut food to t feed tube horizontally.
Position food horizontally in feed tube.
Process, using even pressure to make
plank-like slices. Re-stack slices and position

Process using even pressure.
Tips for Great Results
Using a Slicing or
Shredding Disc
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and
relatively small in diameter,
such as celery, carrots,
and bananas:
Cut food to
t feed tube
vertically or
horizontally, and
pack feed tube
securely to keep
food positioned
properly. Process
using even
pressure.
Or use the small
feed tube in the
two-piece food
pusher. Position
food vertically in
the tube and use the small food pusher to
process food.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables
that are round, such as onions, apples,
and green peppers:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves
or quarters to t feed tube. Position in feed
tube. Process using even pressure.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables
that are small, such as strawberries,
mushrooms, and radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally in
layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube
in order to keep food positioned properly.
Process, using even pressure. Or use the
small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube and use
the small food pusher to process food.
To slice uncooked meat or poultry, such
as stir-fry meats:
Cut or roll food to t feed tube. Wrap and
freeze food until hard to the touch, 30
minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness
of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce
food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not,
allow to thaw slightly. Process, using even
pressure.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to

Tips for Great Results
• To avoid damage to the blade or motor, do
not process food that is so hard or rmly
frozen that it cannot be pierced with the
tip of a sharp knife. If a piece of hard food,
such as a carrot, becomes wedged or
stuck on the blade, stop the processor and
remove the blade. Gently remove food
from the blade.
• Do not overll work bowl or mini-bowl.
For thin mixtures, ll work bowl up to
1/2 to 2/3 full. For thicker mixtures, ll
work bowl up to 3/4 full. For liquids, ll
up to the maximum level as described on
page 17. When chopping, the work bowl
should be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full.
Use the mini-bowl for up to 1 cup (235
ml) of liquid or 1/2 cup (155 g) solids.
• Position slicing discs so the cutting surface
is just to the right of the feed tube. This
allows the blade a full rotation before
contacting the food.
• To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be chopped
through the feed tube while the processor
is running.
• Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and slicing
results. In general, use light pressure
for soft, delicate foods (strawberries,
tomatoes, etc.), moderate pressure for
medium foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.),
and rmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially
frozen meats, etc.).
• Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread
out or roll up on the shredding disc. To
avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese.
• Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To
minimize this, cut food in several pieces
and pack the feed tube with the food.
For processing small or slender items,
the small feed tube in the two piece food
pusher will prove especially convenient.
Helpful Hints
• When preparing a cake or cookie batter
or quick bread, use the multipurpose
blade to cream fat and sugar rst. Add dry
ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top
of our mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses,
until blended with other ingredients. Do
not overprocess.
• When shredded or sliced food piles up on
one side of the bowl, stop the processor
and redistribute the food using a spatula.
• When food quantity reaches the bottom
of a slicing or shredding disc, remove the
food.
• A few larger pieces of food may remain on
top of the disc after slicing or shredding.
If desired, cut these by hand and add to
mixture.
• Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowl cleanup. Process dry or rm
ingredients before liquid ingredients.
• To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily, just empty the
work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse 1 to
2 seconds to spin the blade clean.
• After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
Using the Dough Blade
The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly
and thoroughly. For the best
results, do not knead recipes
which use more than 2-3 cups
(475 - 710 ml) of our.

Troubleshooting
If your Food Processor should malfunction or fail to operate,
check the following:
Food Processor doesn’t run:
• Make sure that the bowl and lid are
properly aligned and locked in place and
the large food pusher is inserted in the
feed tube.
• When using the large feed tube opening,
make sure that food is not above the Max.
Fill line on the feed tube.

properly:
• Make sure the raised-blade side of the
disc is positioned face up on the common
adapter.
• If using the adjustable slicing blade, make
sure it is set to the correct thickness.
• Make sure ingredients are suitable for
slicing or shredding. See “Tips and Tricks

If the work bowl cover won’t close when
using the disc:
• Make sure the disc is installed correctly,
with the raised nub on top, and is
positioned properly on the drive adapter.
If the problem is not due to one of the above
items, see “Warranty”.
Do not return the Food Processor to the
