TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Using the Multipurpose Blade

To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove

/2-inch (2.5-4 cm) pieces. Process food

1 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 1 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.

seeds. Cut food in 1 to

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.

To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry or seafood:

The food should be very cold. Cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to 1 pound (455 g) at a time to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:

Break food into 1

/2 to 2-inch (3.5-5 cm)

pieces. Process until ne. For larger pieces,

pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time.

Then process until ne.

To melt chocolate in a recipe:

Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe

in work bowl. Process until nely chopped.

Heat liquid from recipe. With processor running, pour hot liquid through the feed tube. Process until smooth.

To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano:

Never attempt to process cheese that cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. You can use the multi-purpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Place in work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped.

Process continuously until nely grated. Pieces

of cheese can also be added through the feed tube while the processor is running.

NOTE: Processing nuts and other hard foods may scratch the surface nish on the inside of the bowl.

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

t feed tube. Process food using rm, even

pressure.

To shred spinach and other leaves:

Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using even pressure.

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.

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 4 cups

(500 g) of our.

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 or mini-bowl.

For liquids, follow the maximum ll

levels indicated on the work bowl. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 1/3 to 1/2 full. Use the mini-bowl for up to 4 cups (1 L) of liquid or 4 cups (500 g) dry ingredients.

• 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.

• When preparing a cake or cookie batter, 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.

• Use the spatula to remove ingredients from the work bowl.

• 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.

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.

• Check to make sure the Food Processor is plugged in.

• Is the fuse in the circuit to the Food Processor in working order? If you have a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit is closed.

• Unplug the Food Processor, then plug it back into the outlet.

• If the Food Processor is not at room temperature, wait until it reaches room temperature and retry.

• If the speed lever does not move, make sure the dial is in the Off position.

• For easy lid rotation, it is possible to remove the seal, or just apply vegetable oil to the seal.

Food Processor not shredding or slicing properly:

• Make sure the raised-blade side of the disc is positioned face up on the 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.

If the work bowl cover won’t close:

• Make sure the disc is installed correctly, with the raised nub on top, and is positioned properly on the drive adapter.

• Try to close again, with the large food pusher removed.

If the problem is not due to one of the above items, see the “Warranty and Service” section.

Do not return the Food Processor to the retailer. Retailers do not provide service.
