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 aqualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Be sure Lid and Feed Tube are securely locked in place before operating food processor.
Never try to override or tamper with lid interlock mechanism.
Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven appliance, while under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your reaction time or perception.

Using Your Food Processor
Important: If the processing bowl and lid are not correctly assembled,
the Food Processor will not function.
Note: For maximum control load the feed tube first before turning on your food processor. Always use the food pusher for more evenly processed foods and never use your fingers.

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 1/2 cup peanut oil Pinch of salt Pinch of freshly ground black pepper Pinch of sugar
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 noodle, mushroom soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, and cilantro. Add aromatics mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool completely. When ready to form the spring rolls,squeeze out all the excess liquid.

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 Mustard Sauce. Serve immediately.
