/2-inch (2.5-
3.75 cm) pieces. Process food to desired size, using Low speed. 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

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
wide mouth feed tube vertically or horizontally, and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Do not exceed the Max Fill line. Process using even pressure with wide food pusher. Or use the small feed tube in the 2-in-1 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 with food pusher.
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 2-in-1 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 with food pusher.
To slice cooked meat or poultry, including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to
t feed tube. Process food using rm, even
pressure with food pusher.
To shred spinach and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using even pressure with food pusher.
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
with food pusher.
Rotating Blade Hazard
Always use food pusher.
Keep ngers out of openings.
Keep away from children.
Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
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
(250-375 g) of our.
Using the Dough Blade

English
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Helpful hints
• 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 overll work 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 14. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full.
• 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 2-in-1 food pusher will prove especially convenient.
• 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.
• Use a spatula to remove ingredients from the work bowl.
• 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.
• Your Food Processor is not designed to perform the following functions:
- Grind coffee beans, grains, or hard spices
- Grind bones or other inedible parts of food
- Liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
- Slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled meats.
• If any plastic parts should discolor due to the types of food processed, clean them with lemon juice.
