Tips and Techniques
• For a more uniform consistency,
start with pieces of food that
are similar in size. Cut food
into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
before processing with
Chopping/Mixing Blade.
• This food processor is excel-
lent to chop, mix, slice, or
shred most foods. However, to
maintain peak performance, do
not use your food processor
for the following: grinding
grain, coffee beans, or spices;
slicing frozen meats; kneading
dough; or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce the
best results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can be
sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. If unit is operated
for 2 minutes continuously,
let the processor rest about
4 minutes before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as
they are easily over-processed
and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, select
firm cheese like Cheddar,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss. For
best results, process cheese
that is well chilled.
• The Reversible Slicing/
Shredding Disc has a slicing
blade on one side and shred-
ding teeth on the other and
can only be used with the large
bowl. The name engraved on
the blade, facing up, is the
function selected. Place on
motor shaft with desired cut-
ting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice,
remove from bowl, and restack
the vegetables. Pack into food
chute with slices vertical. Slice
again to make matchstick-cut
vegetables.
