parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a quali-
fied appliance repair technician.
Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION: The Blades are sharp! Handle with care! Use extreme
care when handling the Blades. Do not touch the Blades with your
fingers. The Blades are very sharp and can cause injury if touched.

Blade or Blade Holder Assembly has completely stopped before any
disassembly.

3. Wash the Processor Bowl with Rubber Seal Ring, Lid with Feed
Chute, Food Pusher, Blade Holder, Blade Holder Stem,
Slicing/Shredding/Grating Blades, Chopping Blade and Spatula in

Food Processing Hints
• Chopping - For best results, cut or tear food into pieces approxi-
mately equal in size before processing. The finished results will be
more uniform. Consistent processing results are achieved if the con-
tainer has 2 to 7 1/2 cups of fruits or vegetables.
• Mincing - Pre-cooked meat into cubes approximately 1-inch square.
• Fruits and Vegetables - Before processing fruits and vegetables,
clean and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Mixing - Quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl
will vary depending upon the density of the ingredients being used.
• Adding Ingredients - Liquid ingredients may be added while the
processor is operating by pouring through the Feed Tube in the Cover.
• Using the Feed Tube - The most important factor for successful slic-
ing and shredding is the way in which the food is packed into the
Feed Tube. The Feed Tube should always be packed firmly to allow
each piece of food to support the others. There will always be a small
portion of food left unprocessed between the Food Pusher and the
Blade.
Caution: Never use fingers or other utensils to push food down the
Feed Chute. Always use the Food Pusher.
• Slicing, Shredding and Grating - Cut all ingredients to a size that
fits comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the Feed Tube and, while
holding food steady and upright with the Food Pusher, press down
evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use exces-
sive force or you may damage the Food Processor.
Long Slices: Pack food items horizontally in Feed Tube.
Short Slices: Pack food items vertically in Feed Tube.
Grating: For best results remember that softer foods such as cheese
(Cheddar, mozzarella or Swiss) should be well chilled before process-
ing. Harder foods such as Parmesan or Romano cheese should be at
room temperature before processing. Note: When grating Parmesan
cheese do not apply excessive pressure to the Food Pusher.
