Maximum Liquid Level
This line is visible on the work bowl. Use as an indication of the maximum amount of liquid that can be used in the Food Pro.
Power Pad
The Food Pro will not operate until the Large Work Bowl and the Work Bowl Cover are both properly installed. Once installed, the indicator light will remain lit if the unit has power.
On – Once pressed, the Food Pro will run continuously.
Off – Stops the Food Pro. The indicator light will remain on.
Pulse – The Food Pro will run only when pressed. Short bursts can give more accurate results.
NOTE: If the unit fails to operate, make sure the work bowl and cover are properly locked on the base.
Inserting Ingredients
When Chopping or Mixing, items may be placed around the blade before the cover is installed or placed down the feed chute during operation. Most items will work best when placed around the blade before the cover is installed, but not always. It is best to experiment with both styles to decide which will work best for your needs. Items will chop best when 1 to 1 ½ inches in size.
Inserting Ingredients – Wide Plunger w/ plunger insert
When mixing ingredients, the plunger insert can be used to drizzle liquids (example: oil) to add the liquid slowly. This is helpful when making emulsions.
The Wide Plunger has a recess that is approximately 4 liquid ounces to aid in measuring.
Dough Blade
The dough blade is designed for mixing and kneading dough quickly and thor­oughly. For the best results, do not knead recipes using more than 2-3 cups of flour.

FOOD PROCESSING TIPS
Hard cheese
(Example: Parmesan, Romano)
If the cheese cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, it is too hard to process. Do not use your Food Pro for processing.
If the cheese can be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, it is okay to continue.
Soft Cheese can be shredded with the shredding disks, but when attempting to shred hard cheese, you can use the multi­purpose blade.
Place 1-inch pieces into the work bowl. Process, using short pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can also added through the feed chute while the processor is running.
Soft cheese
For best results with soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes before processing. Cut to fit feed chute. Process, using even pressure.
Julienne / Matchstick slices
Use the Slicing Disk to prepare julienne or matchstick style strips of produce.
Place food into feed chute horizontally. Using the plunger, push with even pressure to make plank like slices. Place plank like slices into feed chute again. Position the planks vertically for shorter pieces or horizontally for longer pieces. Process, using even pressure.
Slice uncooked meat or poultry
Cut or roll food to fit feed chute. 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 items to thaw slightly. Process, using even pressure.
Slice cooked meat or poultry food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed chute. Process, using even pressure.
20
Page 20
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Never process any food that is so hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife Hard food can cause damage to the blade or motor. If a piece of hard food, such as carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and remove the blade. Carefully remove food from the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to 1⁄2 to 2/3 full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4 full. For liquids, fill up to the maximum level as described on page XX. 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 of liquid or 1⁄2 cup solids.
3. To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed chute while the processor is running.
4. 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 firmer pressure for harder foods (carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen meats, etc.).
5. Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread out or roll up on the shredding disc. To avoid this, shred only well­ chilled cheese.
6. Sometimes slender foods, such as carrots or celery, fall over in the feed chute, resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize this, cut food in several pieces and pack the feed chute with the food. For processing small or slender items, the small feed chute in the two piece food plunger will prove especially convenient.
7. When preparing a cake or cookie batter or quick bread, use the multi purpose blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent over-chopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients. Do not overprocess.
21
Page 21
HELPFUL HINTS
8. When shredded or sliced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and redistribute the food using a spatula.
9. When food quantity reaches the bottom of a slicing or shredding disc, remove the food.
10. 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.
11. Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients.
12. 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.
14. To remove the contents of the work bowl without removing the multipurpose blade, grasp the work bowl from the bottom and place one finger through the center opening to hold the blade in place. Then remove food from the bowl and blade with a spatula.
15. 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
un-chilled meats.
13. After removing the work bowl cover, place it upside down on the counter. This will help keep the counter clean.
