ASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS

WFP14SC

We will use the terms bowl, work bowl and batch 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 an 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 counterclock-

wise 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 diagram on the top of the plastic center. 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. Push firmly to lock and seal S-blade hub in 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 and any liquid may leak. 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.

• Always process dry food first, then add wet food.

• Do not fill liquid past “Max liquid fill” level. If too much liquid is used, it will overflow. In this case,

stop operation, remove liquid to below “Max liquid fill” line and continue processing.

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: shredding disc, grating disc or slicing disc.

• Hold the disc with the cutting side facing your hand. Be careful not to scrape your

hand on the sharp edges. Notice the bottom of the disc has a plastic receptacle for the detachable stem. Holding the stem with your thumb on the release switch, place the center and right-most two tabs in the two open slots on the bottom of the disc and rotate clockwise. Refer to diagram.

• Once the stem is installed in the proper disc, 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 it 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. (batch bowl assembly continues)

(batch bowl assembly continued)

• Place the cover on the bowl, with the feed tube on the right, slightly toward the front. The locking

tabs on the cover should be at the left of the locking tabs on the 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 lock with the interlock mechanism.

NOTE: The cover must be in place correctly, with the cover’s safety interlock tab firmly engaged, 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 counterclockwise to lock it into place. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher into the feed tube opening.

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.

DISASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS

WFP14SC

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

• Turn the bowl cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the cover is disengaged and the lock-

ing tabs are clear of the tabs on the bowl. In this position you can lift the cover off the bowl.

• Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the small pusher from the large pusher.

Disassembly when removing the S-blade

• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise (left) to disengage the tabs on the bottom

of the bowl platform from the work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7 o’clock position), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.

It is recommended that you remove the bowl from the motor base before you remove the S-blade.

• To remove the blade, keep a slight downward pressure on the top of the center hub of the blade

while removing the bowl from the motor base. This will form a seal to prevent food particles from spilling into the center tube of the bowl and onto the motor base or the work surface. REMOVE

ALL FOOD AND LIQUID BEFORE REMOVING S-BLADE, OR BOWL WILL LEAK.

Then remove the S-blade from the bowl by pulling upward to unlock the seal. Handle the S-blade with caution; the blades are extremely sharp.

Disassembly when removing an accessory disc

• Do not remove the work bowl until the accessory disc is removed.

• To remove an accessory disc, place your fingers on the outer edge of two opposite sides of the disc

and lift. The disc should remove cleanly. To remove the detachable stem, hold the disc in one hand with the stem facing away from your hand. Be careful not to scrape your hand on any sharp edges; depress the release switch with your thumb and rotate counterclockwise.

• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise to disengage the tabs on the bottom

of the bowl platform from the work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7 o’clock position), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.

ASSEMBLY OF CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS

• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the

continuous feed chute, cover, slinger disc, 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 that you are looking 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 continuous feed chute, holding it in both hands with the

chute pointing in the 4 o’clock position and the handle at 7 o’clock position. Place the chute on the base, fitting its center opening over the motor shaft.

• Press the chute down so the round lower rim of the chute fits around

the circular platform. Rotate counterclockwise until it clicks into place and engages the rear interlock.

• Place the slinger (or ejector disc) in the bowl, sliding it over the metal

motor shaft until it reaches the bottom of the chute.

• Select the appropriate accessory disc. Follow directions on page 7 to

attach stem to disc.

• After selecting the appropriate disc and attaching the disc stem, pick

up the disc by holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands on the slicing/shredding/ grating nodules.

• Carefully guide the disc stem over the metal shaft so the double flats

on the shaft line up with the matching shape of the disc stem. The disc should easily drop into place, but if not, gently rotate until you feel it drop 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. Do not put any food in the chute before placing the accessory disc

onto the shaft.

• Place the cover on top of the chute with cover locking tab at left of locking tab on chute. Press down

and rotate the cover until it latches to the tab on the continuous feed chute. This will prevent the lid from rising up during processing.

• The interlock tab on the cover will slide into the interlock slot on the cover and engage the magnetic

safety interlock switch. The interlock switch prevents operation of the machine unless the cover is in the proper position. With this switch engaged, the food processor will operate if the power is on and the controls are turned to ON or PULSE.

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

Two Pushers for Feed Tube

DISASSEMBLY OF CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

• Turn the cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the cover is disengaged from the safety

interlock switch on the chute, and the tabs are clear of the tabs on the cover.

• When the chute is in the 4 o’clock position, you can lift the cover off the chute. Remember to rotate

the cover lock to the open position before removing the cover.

• Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the small pusher from the large pusher.

• To remove an accessory disc from the continuous feed chute, place two fingers under each side of

the disc and lift it straight up. Be careful not to touch the blades, as they are extremely sharp. Follow directions on page 9 to remove stem from disc.

• Remove the continuous feed chute from the motor base. If the chute is pointing in the 4-o’clock

position, just lift it up. If not, rotate clockwise (left) to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the chute platform (motor base) from the slots on the bottom of the continuous feed chute.

OPERATING THE CONTROLS

• Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be120V, 60Hz.

• There are two control levers located on the base of the machine. They are on the front and they give

you fingertip control of processing. They are large enough to find easily in case of emergency.

The two controls are: ON

PULSE/OFF

How they work: ON: Press the lever down to start the motor. PULSE/OFF: To turn the motor off, press the lever down

and release.

To pulse the motor, press the PULSE/OFF lever down, then release. The motor will run as long as you hold the lever down; it stops when you release the lever. Try it a few times.

How to Use

Continuous use

For continuous processing, use the ON lever, which is located on the left.

Pulsing

The pulsing function is intended for use with the S-blade in the work bowl.

• For rapid on-off operation, called pulsing, use the PULSE/OFF lever located on the right. The

motor runs as long as you hold the lever down; it stops when you release the lever.

• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the amount of time you hold the

lever down. You control the frequency of pulses by the rate at which you press the lever. The interval between pulses must be long enough to allow everything in the work bowl to fall to the bottom.

• Pulsing gives you precise control over chopping, mincing, blending and mixing. You can process food

to any texture or consistency you want, from coarse to fine.

• Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food a few times to break up into smaller

parts. Then proceed with continuous use after the pieces are broken up and easier to process.

• Always use the PULSE/OFF lever for pulsing. Never move the bowl (or chute) and cover assembly

on or off to control pulses. It is less efficient and could damage the machine.

Turning off

Always turn the machine off with the PULSE/OFF lever and wait until the blade or disc comes to a complete stop before removing the pusher assembly. The motor stops within seconds after the machine is turned off.

FOOD PREPARATION

• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and

large seeds.

• Cut vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc. into sizes that will fit into your choice of small feed tube or large

feed tube for processing with accessory discs, or into sizes as required by your processing task.

• Preparation for slicing: Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots, cucumbers and celery

should be cut flat at both ends. This will provide a consistent slice for all food processed.

FOOD PUSHER SELECTION

S-blade usage

The feed tube can be used for adding ingredients while the food processor is running. However it is recommended that the food pushers be left in place whenever possible to prevent splashing and avoid unwanted additions to the work bowl.

Small pusher

This pusher with smaller chute is typically used when inserting vegetables vertically for smaller cuts. It should be used when slicing foods such as carrots, celery, pepperoni, etc., when a consistent, flat result is desired.

This pusher is also used when a shorter grate or slice is desired as opposed to a longer grate or slice using the larger feed tube and pusher.

Large pusher

This pusher with larger chute is typically used when inserting vegetables horizontally for longer cuts. This pusher is used when a longer grate or slice is desired. It is also used when processing large

volumes of food or bulky food items such as potatoes or onions.

RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION

The WFP14SC Food Processor is equipped with an automatic reset switch to protect the motor from overheating.

If your food processor stops running under heavy use, turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord. Empty the work bowl of all its contents and discard food. Allow approximately 5 minutes for the motor to cool down.

Reassemble unit, plug the power cord back into the outlet and run first with the bowl empty. Put food into the bowl and continue processing.

If your food processor does not function properly following this procedure, discontinue use and contact a Certified Waring Customer Service Center.

BATCH BOWL MAXIMUM CAPACITY CHART

Do not exceed the capacities listed in the table below when processing in the batch bowl:

FOODS CAPACITY

Chopped and Puréed Fruit and Vegetables 475 g (1.1 lbs)

Chopped or Puréed Meat, Poultry, Fish or Seafood 1 kg (2¼ lbs)

Sliced Fruit, Cheese or Vegetables 1.5 kg (3.5 lbs)

USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR S-BLADE

IN THE BATCH BOWL

1. Cut food into 2.5cm pieces.

2. Insert the metal S-blade and put the pieces of food into the work bowl. Attach the lid and the

pusher assembly; press the pusher assembly down to lock it into place. Press and release the PULSE/OFF lever two or three times. Each time the blade stops, let the pieces drop to the bottom of the bowl before pulsing again.

3. Using the pulse/chopping technique, you can get an even chop without the danger of over-

processing. Check the texture frequently by looking through the cover of the work bowl. If you want a finer chop, press and release the PULSE/OFF lever until you achieve the desired texture. Onions and other foods with a high water content will quickly end up as a purée unless examined through the work bowl after each pulse to make sure they are not overprocessed.

• For better results, ensure all the pieces you add to the bowl are about the same size.

Ensure the amount you process is no larger than recommended.

• When processing liquid, do not exceed 10 cups or fill past “Max liquid fill” line.

REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD FROM THE BATCH BOWL

1. Turn the machine off and wait for the blade to stop moving before removing the lid and pusher.

2. If the blade holds the bowl locked when the motor stops, move the handle of the bowl rapidly

back and forth – first clockwise, then counterclockwise.

3. If using a disc, remove before tilting the bowl, using a spatula to scrape off any food sticking to it.

If using S-blade, it will stay locked in the bowl when you tilt to pour. Use spatula to scrape food

out of bowl. NEVER USE FINGERS TO REMOVE FOOD WHILE BLADE IS IN BOWL.

CHOPPING HARD FOODS IN THE BATCH BOWL

To chop hard foods like garlic, remove the small pusher, press the ON lever and drop the food through the small feed tube while the machine is running. Small foods like garlic can be dropped in whole. This method of processing minces garlic, shallots and onions. Larger foods like meat and hard cheese should be cut into 1-inch (25.4 mm) cubes to ensure an even chop. Press the PULSE/OFF lever for 1 to 2 seconds, 3 times. Then press the ON lever and process for a maximum of 30 seconds for desired consistency.

Never try to process cheese that is too hard to cut with a knife. You may damage the blade or the machine.

SLICING OPERATION

Round fruits and vegetables

Before processing onions, apples and other large, round fruits and vegetables, trim them with a knife. Cut the bottom end flat to make the food lie stable on the disc. Place the food in the feed tube, flat side down. Position it as far left as possible to prevent it from tilting when being processed. Choose fruits that are firm and not too ripe. Always remove large hard stones and pips/seeds from fruits before processing. Seeds from citrus fruits need not be removed. You may remove the rind before slicing or leave the rind on.

Whole peppers are an exception

Remove the stem and cut the stem end flat. Remove the core and scoop out the seeds. Leave the end opposite the stem whole, to keep the structure stiff. This ensures round, even slices.

Large fruits like pineapple and melon

Cut them in half and remove the seeds or core. If necessary, cut the halves into smaller pieces to fit the feed tube. Remember to cut the ends flat.

Cabbage and iceberg lettuce

Turn the head on its side and slice off the top and bottom, leaving a center section about 3 inches deep. Remove the core and cut the center section in wedges to fit the feed tube. Remove the core from the bottom piece and cut it and the top piece into wedges to fit the feed tube.

If the fruit or vegetable doesn’t fit

Try inserting it from the bottom of the feed tube. The opening there is slightly larger.

Pack the feed tube for desired results

For long slices, cut the food in feed-tube widths and pack the pieces horizontally. For small round slices from carrots, zucchini and other long vegetables, cut them in feed-tube heights and pack them tightly upright. Food should fit snugly, but not so tight that it prevents the pusher from moving. When slicing food, always use the pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula into the feed tube.

Never push down hard on the pusher. Use light pressure for soft fruits and vegetables like bananas, mushrooms, strawberries and tomatoes, and for all cheese. Use medium pressure for most foods like apples, celery, citrus fruit and potatoes. Use firm pressure for really hard vegetables like carrots.

Small round fruits and vegetables

For large berries, radishes and mushrooms, trim the opposite ends flat with a knife. Insert the food through the feed tube, standing each piece on a flat end. You can fill the tube to about 1 inch (25.4 mm) from the top. The bottom layer gives you perfect slices for garnish. If you want all the slices to be perfect, it’s best to process one layer at a time.

Long fruits and vegetables

Trim food like bananas, celery and zucchini by cutting them into pieces a little shorter than the feed tube. Cut both ends flat. (Use a ruler as a guide, or the pusher assembly with the pusher pulled out as far as it will go.) Fill the feed tube with the pieces, standing them vertically and adding enough pieces so they are solidly packed and cannot tilt sideways as they are sliced.

Small amounts of food

Use the small feed tube and the small pusher. Remove the small pusher from the pusher assembly. Slide the pusher assembly over the feed tube and press the sleeve down to lock it into place. Cut the food in lengths a little shorter than the feed tube. If you are slicing one or two long, thin vegetables like carrots, push them against the left. If you are slicing a few vegetables that are wide at one end and narrow at the other (carrots, celery or scallions) cut them in half and pack in pairs, one wide end up, one narrow end up.

French-cut green beans

Trim fresh green beans to feed-tube widths. Blanch them for 60 seconds in boiling salted water. Plunge them immediately into cold water to stop the cooking. When they are cold to the touch, drain and dry them. Stack them in the feed tube horizontally to about 1 inch (25.4 mm) from the top. Use the slicing disc. Be sure the small pusher is locked. Apply light pressure to the pusher and press the PULSE/OFF lever until beans are sliced. To make long, horizontal slices of raw zucchini or carrots, use the same procedure.

Matchsticks or julienne strips

Process the food twice – double slice it. Insert any large fruit or vegetable – potatoes, turnips, zucchini, apples – in the feed tube horizontally. Apply pressure to the pusher while pressing the PULSE/OFF lever until the food is sliced. You will get long slices. Remove the slices from the work bowl and reassemble them. Reinsert them in the feed tube, wedging them in tightly. Slice them again. You will obtain long julienne strips.

SLICING MEAT AND POULTRY

Cooked meat and poultry

The food must be very cold. If possible, use a chunk of food just large enough to fit the feed tube. To make julienne strips of ham, bologna or luncheon meat, stack slices of them. Then roll or fold them double and stand them upright in the feed tube, wedging in as many rolls as possible. This technique works better with square or rectangular pieces than with round ones.

Uncooked meat and poultry

Cut the food into pieces to fit the feed tube. Boned, skinned chicken breasts will usually fit when cut in half crosswise. Wrap the pieces in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. They are ready to slice when they pass this “knife test”: they are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife although semifrozen and hard to the touch. Stand them in the feed tube, cut side down, and slice them against the grain, using firm pressure on the pusher. Or lay them flat in the feed tube, as many as will fit, and slice with the grain, using firm pressure.

Frankfurters, salami and other sausages

If the sausage is soft, freeze it until hard to the touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard sausages need not be frozen. If the sausage is thin enough to fit in the small feed tube, use that tube. Otherwise, cut the sausage into pieces to fit the large feed tube completely. Stand the pieces vertically, packing them in tightly so they cannot tilt sideways.

SLICING CHEESE

Firm cheese like Swiss and Cheddar

Cut the cheese into pieces to fit the feed tube. Put it in the freezer until it is semi-frozen – hard to the touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Stand the pieces in the feed tube and apply light pressure to the pusher.

IMPORTANT: Never try to slice soft cheese. Slice only hard cheese such as Parmesan. Do not use block sizes larger than 3.5" x .750" x 4.0" (89 mm x 19 mm x 101 mm). Always use well-chilled cheese when slicing. It is recommended to place cheese in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing. Do not slice mozzarella in this unit. Damage to the unit may occur.

GRATING OPERATION

Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.

Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of carrots will result in a long grated product, while using the smaller chute and inserting the food vertically will give you a short grated product.

Never try to grate soft cheese. Grate only hard cheese such as Parmesan. Do not use block sizes larger than 3.5" x .750" x 4.0" (89 mm x 19 mm x 101 mm). Always use well-chilled cheese when grating. It is recommended to place cheese in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before grating. Do not grate mozzarella in this unit. Damage to the unit may occur.

For grating cheese, it is recommended that a slight pulsating pressure be applied with the pusher, alternating push/no push until the cheese block is completely grated. Cheese grating puts more strain on the food processor motor than other tasks and may cause overheating if too much pressure is applied in a continuous manner.

You can typically expect to grate 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of cheese in about 5 minutes. It is recommended that you plan your food preparation in a manner that will allow for five minutes of grating, followed by five minutes of food preparation while the machine rests.

When grated food reaches nearly full capacity of the bowl, remove all grated food from the bowl.

SHREDDING OPERATION

• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.

• Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of foods such as carrots and zucchini will result

in a longer shredded product. Using the smaller chute and small pusher with food inserted vertically will yield a shorter shredded product.

• Never try to shred soft cheese. Use only hard cheese. Mozzarella may be shredded only when well

chilled. Pre-cut mozzarella must be 0.75” thick by 3.5” wide and 4” high for the WFP11S, and 1” thick by 3.5” wide and 4” high for the WFP14S. Place mozzarella in a freezer for 1 hour prior to shredding. Only use pulse button when shredding cheese.

• When shredded food reaches nearly full capacity of the bowl, remove all shredded food from the bowl.
