HELPFUL HINTS
1. Never process any food that is so
hard or firmly frozen that it cannot
be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife
Hard food can cause damage to the
blade or motor. If a piece of hard food,
such as carrot, becomes wedged or
stuck on the blade, stop the processor
and remove the blade. Carefully
remove food from the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini
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 XX. When
chopping, the work bowl should be no
more than 1/3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the mini
bowl for up to 1 cup of liquid or 1⁄2
cup solids.
3. To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed chute
while the processor is running.
4. 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 firmer
pressure for harder foods (carrots,
apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen
meats, etc.).
5. Soft and medium-hard cheese may
spread out or roll up on the shredding
disc. To avoid this, shred only well-
chilled cheese.
6. Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
chute, resulting in an uneven slice.
To minimize this, cut food in several
pieces and pack the feed chute with
the food. For processing small or
slender items, the small feed chute
in the two piece food plunger will
prove especially convenient.
7. When preparing a cake or cookie
batter or quick bread, use the multi
purpose blade to cream fat and sugar
first. Add dry ingredients last. Place
nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture
to prevent over-chopping. Process
nuts and fruits, using short pulses,
until blended with other ingredients.
Do not overprocess.
