Helpful Hints
• Never attempt to process any food that cannot be cut with a sharp knife.
• When mincing garlic, fresh herbs or small quantities of foods, add to feed
tube with multipurpose blade in place and processor running. Make sure
bowl and all parts are very dry before processing garlic or fresh herbs.
• To chop nuts, use multipurpose blade and the pulse setting. Use short
pulses. Process smaller batches for coarser texture.
• Let hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano, come to room
temperature before processing. Freeze soft cheeses, such as cheddar and
mozzarella, for 10 to 15 minutes before processing.
• Make sure uncooked meats and poultry are very cold before processing.
• Do not over ll processing bowl. Fill no more then 1/3 to 1/2 full when
chopping. The bowl can hold up to 10 cups of dry ingredients or 2 cups
liquid.
• Position the slicing and shredding discs so that cutting surfaces are to the
right of the feed tube. This will allow one full rotation of the blade before
contacting food.
• When processing several slices or pieces of food, put as many pieces as will
t in feed tube together to help hold each other in place.
• This food processor is NOT designed to grind co ee beans or spices
or crush ice.
• Most foods can be processed in 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the
quantity. For large quantities, process in several batches. Let the processor
rest about 1 minute between batches.
• If the food processor suddenly stops running, turn the unit OFF and unplug.
Let the unit cool down for 15 minutes and restart.
• A food processor is not recommended for making Italian meringue
(a meringue made by using hot sugar syrup)
