SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
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 table top 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 prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by
modifying the plug in any way.

Helpful Hints
figure 13
figure 14
• The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the
way in which the food is packed into the feed tube. To prepare shorter
slices, pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 13. To
prepare longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the feed tube,
see figure 14.
continued
Helpful Hints
• For consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are
approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into
uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be
more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the
container is not overloaded.
• Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 1” square. It is best to
process very cold meat (not frozen). Always use the Pulse button in
2 second increments.
• When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut
large vegetables into eighths.
• When processing herbs or garlic cloves, best results are achieved when
using the Mini Bowl. Herbs must be dry prior to processing.
• The quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl will
vary with the density of the mixture.
• When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Processing Bowl before processing. There is no need
to sift ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients
may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the
Feed Tube in the processor cover.
• When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula
provided.
• When slicing, shredding and grating, cut all ingredients to a size that
fits comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the feed tube and, while
holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down
evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the food processor.
• For best results, please follow the dough recipes and pasta recipes
exactly to create the best consistency and results.
Warning: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always
use the food pusher.
• For best results when slicing, the Feed Tube should always be packed
firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will
always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food
pusher and the blade. When using the Variable Slicing Disc, excessive
force will cause food to be sliced unevenly. Only slight pressure is
needed from the food pusher when using this attachment.
• For best results when shredding and grating remember that softer
foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well
chilled (not frozen) before processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan
or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing.
Never attempt to shred or grate cheese that cannot be pierced with a
fork or a knife tip.

Ensure that your food processor is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.
Wipe the base and cord with a warm soapy cloth and wipe clean with a
damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or
scouring pads on the housing as this will damage the finish. Wash the
processing bowl, cover and all attachments (except motor base) in warm
water using a mild detergent (or see dishwasher instructions below).
Dry each part thoroughly before use.
Warning: Care must be taken when handling the metal blades as these
items are extremely sharp.
Dishwasher Use
All plastic components deteriorate through the prolonged use of a
dishwasher for cleaning. However all parts of your Food Processor are
tolerant to dishwasher use, (excluding the processor body). If using the
dishwasher place parts only on the top rack of your dishwasher.
Once your food processor and accessories have been cleaned and dried
thoroughly, store your food processor as outlined in the section “Storing
your Food Processor.”

Troubleshooting
Problem
Food Processor does not turn on
Motor turns off while processing
Slicing blade does not provide
even slices
Food processor liquifies ingredients
Cause
Workbowl and/or lid are not
properly assembled onto base
Unit is not plugged in, or circuit
breaker is tripped
Motor has overheated
Too much force is being applied on
the slicing blade
Too much processing time
Solution
Ensure that both the workbowl and the lid are locked into place on
the motor base. Your food processor is designed with a safety interlock
that prevents the motor from running unless the lid and bowl are
properly assembled. See the Assembling Your Food Processor section
of this manual.
Ensure that your processor is plugged into a proper 120 VAC outlet. If
your unit still does not turn on, check the circuit breaker or fuse for the
outlet you are using and ensure that it is closed.
Ensure that you have not overloaded your food processor or that you
are using the correct ratio of ingredients according to this manual.
Should your motor become overheated, it is designed to turn itself off
to protect itself from permanent damage. Press the OFF button to turn
the power off and unplug the food processor from the wall outlet. Wait
15 minutes and then restart.
A steady gentle pressure is all that is required to process ingredients
using the slicing blade.
For precision processing, use the Pulse button to desired consistency.
Do not pulse the processor using the On/Off button.

Potato Latkes
Serves 12
The ever-popular potato pancakes of the Jewish kitchen make a
wonderful appetizer, side dish, or even a vegetarian main course.
INGREDIENTS
8 medium baking potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
Lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Peanut oil

powder, and nutmeg. Stir this batter into the potatoes and then stir
in the melted butter.
3 Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add an even film
of peanut oil about 1/4 inch deep and, when it is hot, form pancakes
about 1 heaping tablespoonful large, spreading out and smoothing
the top surface with the back of the spoon. When the undersides are
golden brown, about 3 minutes, use a metal spatula to flip the
pancakes over and cook until their other sides are browned.
4 Serve the pancakes as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with
watercress. If serving as an appetizer, also accompany the pancakes
with your choice of caviar or applesauce, along with some crème
fraiche or sour cream.
