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 when
processing small batches.
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.
The quantities that can be processed within the Work Bowl will vary with
the density of the mixture.
When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Work 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 Bowl Lid.
When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula provided.
When slicing or shredding, 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.
Warning:
Never use fingers to push food down the Feed Tube. Always use the
food pusher.
Helpful Hints (Cont.)
•
•
•
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 Processing Blade. When using the 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.
Figure 15
Figure 16
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 15. To prepare
longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the Feed Tube (see figure
16).
14 15
Care and Cleaning
Ensure that your food processor is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning. Wipe the Motor Housing 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 Work Bowl, lid and all attachments (except Motor
Housing) 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 blade and discs
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 Motor Housing). 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.”
Disassembly of Your
Food Processor
Remove the Bowl Lid by turning
counter-clockwise and lifting straight up.
If using the Processing Blade, lift straight up
to remove from Spindle. Never handle the
blade itself, always hold the blade by the
black plastic stem (see figure 17).
If using one of the Reversible Discs, remove
first by grasping the center plastic section
of the Disc (see figure 18). Lift straight up to
remove, then remove Spindle.
To remove the Work Bowl, grasp the handle
and turn counter-clockwise to the 3 o’clock
position and lift straight up.
Warning: Always wait for the processing blade to
stop moving completely before removing the lid.
Unplug your food processor from the wall outlet
prior to removing or adding accessories.

Spring Rolls
Makes 20 to 24 rolls
Forget about the greasy, tasteless spring rolls you once tasted from the take
out restaurant. These are wonderful, crisp, fresh-tasting morsels that look a
lot more complicated to make than they really are. I find them a lot of fun to
put together and people are often amazed that you are able to master an
alien cuisine!
INGREDIENTS
Aromatics
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes

1. Prepare the aromatic mixture: In your food processor fitted with
the Processing blade, combine the ginger, garlic, green onions and red
pepper flakes. Turn on machine, slowly add oil and process mixture to a
puree. Cook mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat for 1 to 2
minutes. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Set aside.
2. Prepare the filling: In a wok or heavy skillet, stir fry mushrooms in peanut
oil for 30 seconds, then add remaining vegetables and cook for 1 minute.
Season with salt and pepper. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in

Spring Rolls (Cont.)
3. To make the spring rolls, place about 1/4 cup of prepared filling per wonton
wrapper. Place filling as per directions alongside. Roll the wrapper, tuck
ends in, and complete as if wrapping a parcel. Seal edges with the egg
wash. Repeat the process until all filling is used.
4. In a heavy deep saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees F. and deep fry spring
rolls, 3 or 4 at a time until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper
towels.
5. Trim off the ends and slice diagonally. Drizzle top with Hot Chinese

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
Freshly grated nutmeg
