INTRODUCTION

Waring® Commercial food processors are the most versatile food processors in their class, featuring a LiquiLock that enables processing of large volumes of liquid without leakage and without the need to remove the S-blade while pouring. These professional machines are prime examples of Waring’s seventy-ve years of industry food service experience, as well as seventy-ve years of food processing experience.

The WFP16S is both ETL and Commercial ETL listed. This instruction book describes the WFP16S, which comes with

a sealed work bowl (also known as a batch bowl) and a sealed/ locked cutter blade (or S-blade) to CHOP, GRIND, PURÉE and MIX. The patented LiquiLock

Seal System allows for processing large volumes of liquids with no leakage. Additional discs provided allow for shredding, slicing and whipping directly in the sealed batch bowl.

Size, power and convenience

The wide feed tube makes processing high volumes of larger-size foods convenient and easy. The motor shaft is built 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 and are made of heavy-duty material to withstand heavy-duty use.

ASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS

We will use the terms work bowl, batch bowl and cutter bowl interchangeably throughout this instruction book. They mean the same thing.

Prior to First Use:

• Clean and sanitize the motor base. Wash, rinse, and sanitize the work bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher insert and accessories.

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

• Press the bowl down so the lower rim ts 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) or whipping disc.

• Pick up the S-blade or whipping disc, noting the diagram on the top of the plastic center. It matches the shape of the motor shaft.

• Place the S-blade or whipping disc over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the inside of the hub with the shaft. Press it down rmly, rotating the center hub until the blade or disc assembly is fully seated. It should easily drop into place. Push rmly to lock and seal S-blade or whipping disc 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 or disc is all the way down by turning it back and forth while gently 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 or whipping disc, now is the time to add the food or liquid to the work bowl.

• Do not ll liquid over MAX LIQUID FILL LINE. If too much liquid is used, it will overow. In that 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.

To assemble the adjustable slicing disc (WFP16S10), you must remove bowl cover. Position the disc stem over the drive shaft securely. Next, select the desired thickness setting on your adjustable slicing disc. There are 16 different positions ranging from 1–6mm in thickness. Once you’ve set the thickness, position the plastic receptacle over the disc stem securely. Do not turn on the unit until the batch bowl is properly assembled with the cover.

To assemble the reversible shredding disc (WFP16S12), you must remove bowl cover. Position the disc stem over the drive shaft securely. Next, select the desired shredding blade size. Your reversible shredding disc has ne shredding blades on one side and medium shredding blades on the other. Be sure the desired blade size is facing up, and position the disc on the disc stem securely. Do not turn on the unit until the batch bowl is properly assembled with the cover.

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

Two pushers for feed tube

There is a large food pusher and a small food pusher. The large pusher is for processing larger vegetables. The small pusher nests in the large pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables, guiding long, thin vegetables for more precise cuts, or for jobs like slicing pepperoni. Insert the small food pusher into the large food pusher opening. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher into the feed tube opening.

DISASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

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

Disassembly when removing the S-blade or whipping disc

• 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 or whipping disc.

NOTE: REMOVE ALL FOOD AND LIQUID BEFORE REMOVING S-BLADE OR WHIPPING DISC, OR BOWL WILL LEAK.

• To remove the blade or disc, keep a slight downward pressure on the top center hub of the blade or disc 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 contents from the batch bowl. Then remove the S-blade or whipping disc 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 ngers on the outer edge of two opposite sides of the disc and lift. The disc should remove easily. 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.

OPERATING THE CONTROLS

• Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be 120V, 60Hz.

• There are three control buttons on the base unit.

The three controls are: ON

OFF PULSE

How they work: ON: Press the ON button to start the motor. OFF: To turn the motor off, press the OFF

button.

To pulse the motor, press the PULSE button

down, then release. The motor will run as long as you hold the button down; it stops when you release the button.

HOW TO USE

Continuous use

For continuous processing, use the ON button which is located in the middle.

Pulsing

• For rapid ON/OFF operation, use the PULSE. The motor runs as long as you hold the button down; it stops when you release the button.

• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the amount of time you hold the button down. You control the frequency of pulses by the rate at which you press the button. The interval between pulses must be long enough to allow everything in the work bowl to fall to the bottom.

• Pulsing gives you greater control over consistency when chopping, blending and mixing.

• Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food a few times to break it up into smaller parts. Then proceed with continuous use after the pieces are broken up and easier to process.

• Always use the PULSE button for pulsing. Never move the bowl and cover assembly on or off to control pulses. It is less efcient and could damage the machine.

Turning off

Always turn the machine off with the OFF button 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 t into either the small or large feed tube for processing with accessory discs.

• Preparation for slicing: Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots, cucumbers and celery should be cut at 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 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, at result is desired.

Large pusher

This pusher is typically used when inserting vegetables horizontally for longer cuts.

RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION

The WFP16S 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. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the motor to cool down.

Reassemble unit, plug the power cord back into the outlet and run rst 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 Certied Waring Customer Service Center.

USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR S-BLADE (CUTTER BLADE)

• The sealed S-blade (cutter blade) is designed for chopping, grinding, puréeing, blending, mixing or kneading.

• Assemble the bowl and blade as instructed in the section titled “Assembly of Batch Bowl Parts” (page 8).

Chopping and mincing

• To chop or mince in the bowl, ll the bowl up to ¾ full.

• To chop or mince most effectively, use the pulse function. This allows for better control over consistency. Continue pulsing until the desired consistency has been reached.

• If chopped foods are processed continuously, the food could be processed unevenly, i.e., food on the bottom will be nely chopped and food on the top will be more coarse.

Chopping meat

Cut meat into 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces to ensure an even chop. Process no more than 2.25 lbs. of meat. Press the PULSE button 3 or 4 times at a rate of 1 second on, 1 second off. If the food is not chopped ne enough, let the processor run continuously for a few seconds. If the machine has trouble starting, reduce the amount of meat in the bowl and start again.

Chopping/grating hard cheese

To chop, place up to 2 lb. of uniformly cut 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes of chilled cheese into the bowl and pulse. For grated cheese, pulse until the cheese is in small chunks (pea size), then allow the processor to run continuously until you have the degree of grating desired. Cheese with high moisture content can ball up if processed too long.

Chopping onions, celery, cabbage, etc.

Cut onions in quarters, and other vegetables into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Place the cubed food into the work bowl up to the top of the bowl’s inner tube, and pulse until you reach the desired consistency. Note: If you let the blade run too long, the ingredients on the bottom will become puréed or give you uneven results.

Purée or Mix

To purée tomatoes, vegetables and fruits, make sauces, or mix and blend ingredients, place the ingredients into the bowl, turn the unit on and allow it to run continuously until you reach the desired consistency. Do not let the machine run unattended. If too much liquid is used, it will overow. In this case, stop operation, remove liquid to below the MAX FILL LINE and continue processing.

Do not ﬁll liquid past MAX LIQUID FILL LINE.

Turning the machine off with the OFF Button.

• Always switch the food processor off by pressing and releasing

the OFF Button. This assures that the power is not supplied to the motor.

• Always switch the food processor off and wait until rotation

stops before removing the cover.

• While the safety interlock switch will turn the machine off if

the bowl is rotated clockwise or the cover is removed while running, this should not be the means of turning the machine on or off.

• As a safety precaution, always make sure the machine is off by

pressing the OFF button before pushing down the lid.

ACCESSORY DISC SELECTION AND USE

The food processor disc accessories are made to perform a wide variety of food processing tasks: slicing, whipping, shredding and grating. Three (3) accessory discs are included with the WFP16S. As of this printing they are:

WFP16S10 - Adjustable Slicing Disc WFP16S11 - Sealed Whipping Disc WFP16S12 - Reversible Shredding Disc

SLICING OPERATION

• The WFP16S comes with an adjustable slicing disc. The

adjustable slicing disc allows you to slice foods anywhere from 1 to 6mm thick using 16 different slicing positions! Prior to mounting the disc onto the motor shaft (see page 9 for assembly instructions), use the knob to select desired thickness. Once you have selected the thickness and mounted the disc onto the unit, you may secure the sealed bowl cover onto the batch bowl and remove the pusher.

• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling

as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will t into the proper feed chute. Foods such as carrots, cucumbers, etc., should be cut at at both ends to provide a consistent slice throughout the whole product.

• With foods like cabbage, lettuce or any product that has an

undesirable core, the core should be removed. Medium size cabbage or lettuce heads may be cut into thirds to t in the feed chute. Larger heads may need to be quartered.

• When food preparation is complete, ll the chosen feed chute,

put the pusher in place, turn the machine on and monitor the results.

• Never try to slice soft cheese. Use only hard cheese.

Mozzarella may be sliced only when well chilled.

• When sliced food nears the 14 cups line on the bowl,

empty bowl.

SHREDDING OPERATION

• The WFP16S comes with a reversible shredding disc. Both

sides on this disc produce a perfect shred, one ne, the other medium. When assembling the shredding disc, note that the side facing up will be the size shred produced. When the disc is secured, cover with the sealed batch bowl cover and remove the pusher.

• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling

as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will t 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; place mozzarella in a freezer for 1 hour prior to shredding. Use PULSE button only when shredding cheese.

• When shredded food nears the 14 cups line on the bowl,

empty bowl.

SEALED WHIPPING DISC OPERATION

• The WFP16S comes with a sealed whipping disc. See page

8 for assembly instructions to install the whipping disc. Once assembled, you are ready to start adding in your favorite ingredients!

• The whipping disc makes any whipping job easy and quick.

Just pour in heavy cream and your choice of sweetening or avor, and whip until cream is light and uffy. For whipping cream do not use more than 6-cups of heavy cream as it could expand beyond the MAX FILL LINE during processing. Note that the seal will prevent leaks and spills from the batch bowl cover; however, when the motor is running, the liquid could get whipped out through the feed tube. To turn your cream into butter, keep whipping until moisture is mostly separated from cream. Use your choice of herbs and seasoning to make your own homemade herb butter.

GRATING OPERATION

Waring Commercial offers grating discs as an optional accessory. For grating, use instructions below.

• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling

as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will t 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. Use only hard cheese.

Mozzarella may be grated only when well chilled, around 36˚F.

• 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 ve (5) minutes.

• After fteen (15) minutes of continuous cheese grating, allow

the machine to cool.

• It is recommended that you plan your food preparation in a

manner that will allow for ve minutes of grating, followed by ve minutes of food preparation while the machine rests.

• When grated food nears the 14 cups line on the bowl,

empty bowl.

JULIENNE DISC OPERATION

Waring Commercial offers a julienne disc as an optional accessory. Follow the instructions below to operate.

• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling

as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will t into the proper feed chute.

• If a long horizontal cut is desired – for example, squash sticks

– the food must be placed in the feed chute horizontally or on its side. For nely chopped food results – for example, chopped celery or nely chopped onions, you must insert the

vegetables vertically or standing up. For a very ne chop of onions, quarter the onion and gravity-feed it through the chute.

• When julienne food nears the 14 cups line on the bowl,

empty bowl.

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 – rst 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the food processor and accessories prior to initial use and after each use. Do not use harsh abrasive-type cleaners on any part of the food processor.

Wash the motor shaft with a small brush. Wash, rinse, sanitize and dry the bowl, cover, small food pusher,

large food pusher, accessory discs, and S-blade prior to initial

use and after use, unless they will be used again immediately. These items are all dishwasher safe, and may be cleaned and rinsed in the dishwasher instead of manually in the sink.

Wash and rinse all of the above items after each use. A stiff bristle brush will help to knock food particles out of the

crevices of the discs and blades before washing. Handle very carefully as the blades are sharp.

For manual cleaning, use only low-foaming powdered detergents formulated for cleaning dishware and cooking utensils. These products can be purchased from restaurant and commercial food service suppliers. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

Pre-clean stubborn food deposits with a brush and presoak in the detergent solution if necessary.

RINSE

Use only water to rinse.

SANITIZE

Use regular, unscented bleach diluted with water between 50°F and 120°F. Follow the food equipment cleaning instructions on the label to not exceed 200 ppm total available chlorine. The sanitizing dilutions are based on the hypochlorite concentration of the bleach. The dilutions for 2 commonly available bleach concentrations are:

– Hypochlorite: 5.25% – 3 teaspoons bleach per gallon of water – Hypochlorite: 8.25% – 2 teaspoons bleach per gallon of water Immerse in or alternately spray with sanitizing solution and soak

for 2 minutes.

AIR-DRY

Drain sanitizing solution and allow parts to air-dry.

To clean and sanitize the motor base

Clean and sanitize the motor base prior to initial use and after each use. Unplug the unit.
