1. To avoid damage to the blade or
motor, do not process food that is so
hard or firmly 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.
2. Do not overfill work bowl. For thin
mixtures, fill work bowl up to
1
2 to
2
3 full. For thicker mixtures, fill
work bowl up to
3
4 full. For liquids, fill
up to the maximum level as described
on page 8. When chopping, the work
bowl should be no more than
1
3 to
1
2 full.
3. To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube
while the processor is running.
4. When preparing a cake or cookie
batter or quick bread, use the
multipurpose blade to cream fat and
sugar first. Add dry ingredients last.
Place nuts and fruit on top of flour
mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not overprocess.
5. Organize processing tasks to
minimize bowl cleanup. Process
dry or firm ingredients before
liquid ingredients.
6. 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.
7. After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
8. To remove the contents of the
work bowl without removing the
multipurpose blade, grasp the
work bowl from the bottom and
place one finger through the center
opening to hold the blade in place.
Then remove food from the bowl
and blade with a spatula.
9. Your Food Processor is not designed
to perform the following functions:
• grind coffee beans, grains, or
hard spices
• grind bones or other inedible
parts of food
• liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
10. If any plastic parts should discolor
due to the types of food processed,
clean them with lemon juice.
11. When storing your Food Processor,
wrap the power cord around the
work bowl. Secure the plug by
clipping it to the cord.
