Additional Safety Information

SHORT POWER CORD

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1 Read all instructions carefully.

2 To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put appliance base,

cord or plug in water or other liquid.

3 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children.

4 Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking

off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn unit off, grasp plug, and pull from the wall. Never yank on cord.

5 Avoid contact with moving parts.

6 Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating

Food Processor.

7 Your Food Processor attachment includes a safety interlock device

which prevents the unit from operating without the Lids locked in place. Do not attempt to defeat this interlock. Always check Lids for damage prior to use.

8 Keep hands and utensils out of Blender Jug and away from blades

and discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. Scraper may be used but must be used only when Blender/Food Processor is not running. .

9 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or

after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

10 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance

manufacturer, including canning jars, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

11 Do not use outdoors.

12 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch

hot surfaces, including the stove.

13 Never feed food by hand. Always use food pusher.

14 Blades are very sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of

children.

15 To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly or discs

on base without Blender Jug properly attached or without first putting Mixing Bowl properly in place.

Figure 4

Figure 5

1 Place the appliance on a flat, stable, level

surface where it cannot fall.

2 Place the Blender Jug on the Motor

Housing. Rotate the Blender Jug clockwise as far as possible until you hear it click into place (see Figures 1 and 2).

3 Cut the ingredients into pieces that fit in the

Jug. Do not cut into pieces that are too large, since they will need to be small enough to fall to the base of the Jug.

4 Place the Lid onto the Jug to prevent

splashing. The cutaway portion of the Lid will go over the pour spout side of the Blender Jug (see Figure 3). Place the Lid on the Jar at a slight angle and turn clockwise to lock into place (see Figures 4 and 5 nest page).

5 Insert the plug into the wall outlet and turn

the power switch on the side of the Motor Housing to the ON position.

6 Press the P(ulse) button to operate the

motor for a short period at high speed (pulse function) or press the I button for continuous low speed, or the II/FROZEN DRINK button for continuous high speed. The Standby Indicator Light will dim and the blue indicator light for the selected function will illuminate.

• Note: the Blender works very fast. In a few seconds the ingredients will be processed. The consistency of the ingredients increases with longer blend times.

7 If necessary, you can add ingredients

through the cover by removing the center cap of the Lid: turn the Filler Cap counterclockwise and remove. If the pieces are too large for the filling opening then switch off the Blender, remove the Lid, and add the ingredients. Put the Lid back on the Jug before switching the Blender on again.

8 Once you have processed the required

quantity of ingredients you can switch the appliance off (press the button with the lit indicator light).

9 Remove the Jug from the Motor Housing by

turning it counter clockwise 90 degrees and lifting straight up.

Automatic Frozen Drink Mode

• Your Blender is equipped with a special electronic function to make frozen drinks. Press the II/FROZEN DRINK button for more than 3 seconds to use this function. The Blender will automatically pulse on and off for approximately 22 seconds. This allows the ice cubes to fall back onto the chopping blades during processing, giving you an even, smooth texture. You can stop the automatic function at any time once your drink has reached the desired consistency by simply pressing the II/FROZEN DRINK button a second time.

Blender Helpful Hints

• Do not place any utensil (spatula, fork, etc.) in the Blender container while the Blender is operating. If you need to scrape ingredients from the sides of the jar, first stop the Blender and wait for the blades to completely stop moving.

• When blending solid foods, always cut them into no larger than 1-inch pieces before placing them into the jar. Blend no more than 1/2 cup of these foods at a time for uniform blending.

• Remember that ice cubes vary in size and shape. Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than larger ones. To add ice cubes to mixtures while the Blender is operating remove the Filler Cap and drop through the opening. Never attempt to crush ice utilizing your Food Processor Bowl. As a general rule, add no more than 3 cups of ice to 4 cups of liquid.

• If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this happens, stop the Blender, turn switch off, unplug from wall outlet, remove a portion of the food and repeat the blending process.

• Always add liquid ingredients first, followed by solid ingredients.

• To add food or liquid while the Blender is operating, remove the Filler Cap from the Blender Lid and drop the ingredients through the opening. Remember to replace the Filler Cap when you have finished adding the ingredients.

• Avoid over-blending. Usually, you will need to blend for only a few seconds, not minutes.

• This Blender is not intended to do any of the following tasks: grind meat, mash potatoes, whip cream, knead dough, whip egg whites, or serve as a juice extractor.

• Never place any of the following ingredients into the Blender jar: bones or large pieces of solidly frozen foods or coffee beans. If the food cannot be cut with a knife, do not place in the Blender jar.

Helpful Hints

Food Processor

1 Never attempt to process any food that cannot be cut with a

sharp knife.

2 When mincing garlic, fresh herbs or small quantities of foods, add to

feed tube with multipurpose blade in place and processor running. Make sure bowl and all parts are very dry before processing garlic or fresh herbs.

3 To chop nuts, use the chopping blade and the pulse setting. Use

short pulses. Process smaller batches for coarser texture.

4 Let hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano, come to room

temperature before processing. For best results, chill soft cheeses in the freezer, such as cheddar and mozzarella, for 10 to 15 minutes before processing.

5 Make sure uncooked meats and poultry are very cold before

processing.

6 Do not overfill processing bowl. Fill no more then 1/3 to 1/2 full when

chopping. The bowl can hold up to 3 cups of dry ingredients or 2 cups liquid.

7 Position the slicing and shredding disks so that cutting surfaces are

to the right of the feed tube. This will allow one full rotation of the blade before contacting food.

8 If any part becomes stained or discolored after processing, clean

with bleach and water solution.

9 When processing several slices or pieces of food, put as many pieces

as will fit in feed tube together to help hold each other in place.

10 This food processor is NOT designed to crush ice. 11 Most foods can be processed in 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the

quantity. For large quantities, process in several batches. Let the processor rest about 1 minute between batches.

12 If the food processor suddenly stops running, turn the unit OFF and

unplug. Let the unit cool down for 15 minutes and restart.

13 A food processor is not recommended for making Italian meringue

(a meringue made by using hot sugar syrup).

14 In the P(ulse) mode, the Processing Blade rotates at its maximum

speed as long as the button is pressed.

15 If the ingredients stick to the blade or to the inside of the Mixing

Bowl, switch the appliance off, unplug from wall outlet and remove the Lid and the blade. The ingredients can then be scraped off using a spatula.

16 Cut the ingredients into small pieces before placing them in the

Mixing Bowl.

17 The machine chops very quickly. Make sure the machine does not

chop for too long! It is better to chop briefly a number of times using the P(ulse) mode.

18 Do not chop hard ingredients in the Mixing Bowl, such as coffee

beans, nutmeg or ice cubes.

Ricotta Pancakes

These are so light and delicious yet satisfying. Serve with fresh fruit and dust with powdered sugar.

Makes approximately 12 four-inch pancakes

INGREDIENTS

2 cups ricotta cheese 4 large eggs 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder

METHOD

1 Preheat griddle or large fry pan on medium heat.

2 Fit Food Processor Mixing Bowl with the Chopping blade. Add

ricotta, eggs, butter and sugar to Mixing Bowl and process for 1 minute.

3 Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse several times; all you want

to do is to incorporate ingredients. Don’t over mix.

4 Dab griddle with butter or non-stick spray. Pour approximately

3 tablespoons of batter onto griddle and spread it out to form pancakes.

5 Cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Lift pancakes to make sure they are brown

then flip. These pancakes do not emit little bubbles like traditional pancakes so you need to check for color.

Homemade Potato Chips

Makes 12 - 16 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 pounds baking potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed clean Peanut oil for deep frying Kosher salt

Seasoning possibilities

Salt mixed with cayenne Freshly grated Parmesan Salt mixed with chopped fresh thyme or rosemary Thinly sliced or slivered truffles

METHOD

1 If the potatoes have thick, gnarly skins, as older potatoes do, peel

them. Otherwise, just scrub.

2 Using the Slicing Disc in your Food Processor, slice the potatoes

crosswise into very thin slices in batches. Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain and very carefully. Pat the slices completely dry with separate layers of paper towels.

3 Put several inches of oil in an automatic deep fryer or a deep, heavy

pan or skillet. Set the deep fryer or bring the oil in the pan to 350°F.

4 In batches, deep-fry the potato slices, turning them with a wire

strainer if necessary to cook them evenly until they turn light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out the basket or scoop out the potatoes with a deep-fry skimmer and spread them onto paper towels to drain. Sprinkle right away with salt and your choice of seasonings.

5 Bring the oil back up to 350°F before adding the next batch.

Arrange the chips attractively in one or more napkin-lined baskets and serve.

Basic Pizza Dough

Makes dough for 1 small pizza

INGREDIENTS

1 package active dry or fresh yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1/2 cup warm water, 105 to 1 15 degrees F 1 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing

METHOD

1 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.

2 In the Mixing Bowl of your Food Processor fitted with the Chopping

Blade, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 1/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball.

3 Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand

2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).

4 Work ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom

of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the ball can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Pizza dough can be rolled out, covered airtight with plastic and foil, frozen, then transferred directly form the freezer to hot oven.

• You can make pizza dough ahead and let it rise in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Just punch it down and knead it a few times when you’re ready to roll it out.

• If you don’t have a pizza wheel for cutting the pizzas, use kitchen scissors or a serrated knife.

Brunch Pizza with Scrambled

Eggs and Smoked Salmon

Makes 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

6 ounces Pizza Dough (see recipe next page) Chili and Garlic Oil (see recipe p. 33) 4 large eggs 1/4 cup milk Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

METHOD

1 Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat

oven to 500 degrees F.

2 On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough to an

8-inch round. Place the dough on a pizza peel that has been dusted with flour or semolina (you can also place on a cookie sheet). Lightly brush the surface of the dough with chili oil. Place dough on the pizza stone and bake until the bottom begins to turn golden brown, but the pizza is not cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

3 In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

Place a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and butter and cook until the butter is melted. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are slightly set, but still fairly undercooked, about 4 minutes. The eggs will cook further in the oven so it is important not to overcook them. Remove from the heat and remove from the pan to stop the cooking.

4 Spread the eggs on the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border

around the edges. Scatter the mozzarella and Fontina cheeses evenly over the eggs. Return to the oven and cook just until the cheese melts and is bubbly, about 5 minutes.

5 Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a firm surface.

Arrange the smoked salmon slices over the surface of the pizza, covering completely. Garnish with the chopped chives and salmon eggs.

Chili and Garlic Oil

Makes 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

1 whole head garlic, separated and peeled 2 cups extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

METHOD

1 In a small saucepan, combine the garlic cloves and olive oil. Bring to

a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a bare simmer and cook until the garlic turns brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Keep a close watch; if the garlic gets too dark, the oil will have a bitter taste.

2 Let the oil cool, then stir in the red pepper flakes. Leave at room

temperature for at least 2 hours to let the flavors blend. Strain the oil into a clean glass container, cover and refrigerate.

Gazpacho cont.

METHOD

1 In a large, nonreactive bowl, stir together the tomatoes, celery stalks,

red bell pepper, cucumber, tomato juice, vegetable broth or water, olive oil, sherry vinegar, parsley leaves, 1 tablespoon sugar, tomato paste, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

2 In batches, transfer the chilled gazpacho mixture to your Food

Processor Mixing Bowl fitted with the Chopping blade and use the PULSE button until the soup is coarsely puréed. Transfer the batches, as ready, to another nonreactive bowl. Stir the mixture to blend the batches. Taste and add salt and pepper or sugar, if necessary, to highlight the sweetness of the tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, several hours more.

3 Prepare the avocado garnish: In a small bowl, gently stir together

the avocado, red onion, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

4 If serving in hollowed-out beefsteak tomatoes, slice the tops off the

beefsteak tomatoes. With a teaspoon or tablespoon, scoop out the seeds and the cores, taking care not to break through the tomatoes' bottoms or outer walls. Place the hollowed-out tomatoes upside down on a platter to drain and refrigerate them until ready to serve.

5 At serving time, place a beefsteak tomato bowl on each of eight

serving plates. Ladle the gazpacho into each tomato (or into bowls), top with a generous tablespoonful of the avocado mixture, and garnish with a parsley sprig. Serve immediately.

Fresh Peach Melba with

Raspberry Sauce

Makes 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

For the Poached Peaches

3 large ripe, firm, freestone peaches 2 cups water 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice Grated zest of 1 lemon

For the Raspberry sauce

1 pound raspberries 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice

METHOD

1 Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and boil peaches for about

20 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and peel away skin.

low heat, stirring almost continuously, until they turn light golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl to cool.

6 To serve, scoop the ice cream into six attractive, chilled serving

bowls. Remove the peach halves from their syrup and place them cut side down on top of the ice cream. Drizzle each serving generously with the raspberry sauce, garnish with whipped cream and toasted almonds, and serve immediately.
