INTRODUCTION

The Waring®FP25 and FP25C commercial food processors are the most versatile food processors in their class. These professional machines take advantage of Waring’s forty years of commercial food service experience as well as thirty years of food processing experience by the same technical, engineering, manufacturing and development team that has made Waring the best known name in food processors.

These machines are both NSF and Commercial UL listed. The accessories are also NSF listed.

This instruction book describes two models. One model, the FP25, comes with a work bowl (also known as a batch bowl) and a cutter blade (or S-Blade) to CHOP, GRIND, PUREE, MIX or KNEAD in the batch bowl. WHAT MAKES THIS MACHINE UNIQUE IS THAT THE BATCH BOWL ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO PROCESS IN THE BOWL, which means you can SHRED, GRATE, SLICE, or JULIENNE in the bowl WITHOUT NEED OF A CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE! The FP25 is shipped from our factory with a starter kit that includes a 3⁄16" shredding disc, 5⁄32"slicing disc and 1⁄4" x 1⁄4" julienne disc.

The second model, the FP25C, comes with the same attachments as the FP25 but also INCLUDES a CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE to do large volume processing such as shredding, grating, slicing and julienne.

Many additional processing accessories are available for both models. More will be added.

Size, Power and Convenience

The horsepower rating of this food processor is more powerful than other food processors of comparable

2.5-quart size.

The wide feed tube is convenient for large-volume processing of large foods; the motor shaft is of stainless steel for durability; the housing, work bowl, chute, covers and pushers are all made from durable polycarbonate for heavy use conditions and easy cleanup. The clear bowl and processing covers are convenient for viewing food processing results, as well as extremely heavy duty for standing up to daily use.

Use the Waring food processor well and use it often. It will be an aid to making good food and plenty of it!

THE PARTS

The Waring®FP25 and FP25C food processors are compact, easy-to-use appliances. Completely assembled, the FP25 is only 19" high (48.9cm) and stores conveniently when not in use. For more compact storage, the cover can be stored upside down with the feed tube in the bowl. When stored this way, the unit is only 143⁄4" high (37.5 cm).

The Waring FP25 and FP25C food processors both consist of the following standard parts and accessories:

1. Solid Polycarbonate Motor Base with vertical stainless steel shaft

2. Two Control Levers

a. ON b. PULSE / OFF

3. Safety Interlock Tower Prevents machine from operating until cover is in place

4. Clear Work Bowl with 63⁄4-inch diameter (17.1 cm) Dry capacity of 2.5 quarts Wet capacity of 1.5 quarts

5. Clear Work Bowl Cover a. Large oval-shaped Feed Tube for maximum use of cutting surface

⁄8 inches (.953cm) x 23⁄4 inches (7.0 cm) wide

b. Large Pusher with full-size and reduced-size feed options c. Small Pusher used within the large pusher for smaller vegetables, pepperoni, etc.

Note: This combination pusher allows use of the entire feed tube for large foods and

provides controlled processing for small-diameter foods such as carrots, celery and pepperoni.

6. Sharp and durable S-Blade (Cutter Blade) to chop, grind, purée, mix and knead

7. 4 mm,

⁄32" Slicing Disc

8. 5 mm, 3⁄16" Shredding Disc

9. 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm, 1⁄4" x 1⁄4" Julienne Disc

10. Safety Reset Switch

Note that all of the FP25 and FP25C accessory discs have a unique offset stem. The design of this stem increases the cutting / processing efficiency of these accessories. The stems can be easily removed for cleaning in accordance with NSF guidelines.

The FP25C comes with these additional components:

11. Continuous Feed Chute

12. Clear Cover for Feed Chute

13. Slinger

(Batch Bowl Assembly continued)

• Place the cover on the bowl, with the feed tube on the left, slightly toward the front. The locking tabs on the cover should be at the left of the locking tabs on the front rim of the work bowl.

• Rotate the cover counterclockwise to lock it into place. When the cover is rotated into place, the safety interlock tab on the back rim of the cover will deactivate the safety interlock mechanism located in the safety interlock tower.

• The cover must be in place correctly, with the cover’s safety interlock tab firmly engaged with the tower’s magnetic safety interlock mechanism, for the food processor to operate. This is an important safety feature.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD PROCESSOR WITHOUT THE COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.

Two Pushers for Feed Tube

Pick up the large food pusher and the small food pusher. The large pusher is for processing larger vegetables. The smaller pusher nests in the larger pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables, guiding long thin vegetables for more precise cuts, or for jobs like slicing pepperoni.

Large Pusher

Insert the small food pusher into the large food pusher opening. When it is fully inserted, rotate the small pusher clockwise to lock it into place. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher into the feed tube opening. Drop the pusher in to the feed tube gently.

Small Pusher

To use the small pusher, rotate it counterclockwise to disengage the locking feature. Now you can lift the small pusher up and out of the large pusher. When using the small pusher, the large pusher becomes the feed tube for the small pusher.

ASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS

FP25 & FP25C

We will use the terms Work Bowl, Batch Bowl and Cutter Bowl interchangeably throughout this instruction book. They mean the same thing.

• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to initial use.

• Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so you look at the front of the unit and can see the control levers. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF lever has been pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.

• Pick up the transparent work bowl, holding it in both hands with the handle toward you.

• Place the bowl on the base, fitting its central tube over the motor shaft on the base and placing its handle slightly to the left of front-center (at about a 7-o’clock position).

• Press the bowl down so the lower rim fits around the circular platform. Turn the bowl counterclockwise as far as it will go. It will lock into position with the tabs on the sides of the platform.

Read this if assembling the Batch Bowl parts to use S-Blade (Cutter Blade).

• Pick up the metal blade, noting the outline on tip and the shape on the bottom. It matches the shape of the motor shaft.

• Place the S-Blade over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the inside of the hub with the shaft. Press it down firmly, rotating the center hub until the blade assembly is fully seated. It should easily drop into place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. If it is not all the way down, it may become damaged. Push only on the center section (plastic part); never touch the cutting blade as it is extremely sharp.

• Check to be sure the blade is all the way down by turning it back and forth while lightly pushing it down. If properly installed and fully seated, the lower blade will be positioned just above the inside bottom of the bowl.

• If processing food with the S-Blade, now is the time to add the food or liquid to the work bowl.

Read this if assembling Batch Bowl parts to use Accessory Discs in Batch Bowl.

• Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.

• Select the appropriate accessory disc: Grating disc, shredding disc, slicing disc, waved slicing disc, pulping disc, or julienne/French fry disc.

• Each of these discs has a disc stem. The disc stem fits over the double flat in the food processor’s stainless steel motor shaft. The stem will also fit inside either the clear plastic tube inside the bowl, or the continuous feed chute and slinger.

• After selecting the appropriate disc, pick up the disc, either using the finger holes on the disc surface, or holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands on the shredding/grating nodules.

• Carefully guide the center disc hub over the metal shaft so the double flats on the shaft line up with the disc stem. Put the disc on top of the shaft and rotate until it drops down and into place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. Push on the outside rim only; never touch the cutting blades. It should easily drop into place, but if not, then gently rock back and forth until you feel the disc drop into place.

Note: Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
