TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
•To avoid damage to the blade or motor, do
notprocessfoodthatissohardorrmly
frozen that it cannot be pierced with the
tip of a sharp knife. If a piece of hard food,
such as a carrot, becomes wedged or
stuck on the blade, stop the processor and
remove the blade. Gently remove food
from the blade.
•Donotoverllworkbowlormini-bowl.
Forliquids,followthemaximumll
levels indicated on the work bowl. When
chopping, the work bowl should be no
more than 1/3 to 1/2 full. Use the
mini-bowl for up to 1 L (4 cups)
of liquid or 500 g (4 cups) dry ingredients.
•Position slicing discs so the cutting surface
is just to the right of the feed tube. This
allows the blade a full rotation before
contacting the food.
•To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be chopped
through the feed tube while the processor
is running.
•Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and slicing
results. In general, use light pressure
for soft, delicate foods (strawberries,
tomatoes, etc.), moderate pressure for
medium foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.),
andrmerpressureforharderfoods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially
frozen meats, etc.).
• Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread
out or roll up on the shredding disc. To
avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese.
•When preparing a cake or cookie batter,
use the multipurpose blade to cream
fatandsugarrst.Adddryingredients
last.Placenutsandfruitontopofour
mixture to prevent overchopping. Process
nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until
blended with other ingredients. Do not
overprocess.
•When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula.
•When food quantity reaches the bottom
of a slicing or shredding disc, remove
the food.
•A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disc after slicing
or shredding. If desired, cut these by
hand and add to mixture.
•Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowlcleanup.Processdryorrm
ingredients before liquid ingredients.
•To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily, just empty
the work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse
1 to 2 seconds to spin the blade clean.
•After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
•Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To
minimize this, cut food in several pieces
and pack the feed tube with the food.
For processing small or slender items,
the small feed tube in the two piece food
pusher will prove especially convenient.
