CLEANING YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR
Before using your Chefscape
™
Food Processor for the first time and after each use,
be sure to thoroughly wash all parts, except the motor base in warm, soapy water,
rinse thoroughly and dry. To prolong the life of your appliance, do not wash parts
in the dishwasher. Reassemble the food processor and store with the lid ajar.
Store blades in a safe manner to prevent accidental injury.
CAUTION: Blades are very sharp, use extreme caution when handling and
cleaning.
HELPFUL HINTS
• Cut food into approximately ¾” pieces. You will get a more even chop if you
start with pieces that are all the same size.
• When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make
sure the processing bowl, blades, and discs are completely dry.
• The “PULSE” button should be operated in short bursts. As the “PULSE” button
is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating between pulses.
• Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or
chopped in seconds. Do not operate the motor base for longer than 90 seconds
at a time.
• Soft to medium firm cheeses can be sliced, shredded, or grated through the
feed tube using the appropriate disc. Harder cheeses like parmesan must be
chopped using the chopping blade.
• Fruits and vegetables should be peeled and cored if necessary. Remove large,
hard pits and seeds. Cut into ¾” pieces and process up to 1 cup at a time.
• Meat, poultry, and fish should be cold but not frozen. First, cut into ¾” pieces.
Put up to ½ pound of meat in the processing bowl. Pulse or run the motor
continuously until the desired consistency. Do not run formore than 90 seconds.
• Never try to remove the processor bowl and lid together as one unit, this can
damage the food processor.
• Occasionally a piece of food may become wedged between the blade and the
processing bowl. If this happens, unplug the appliance, remove the processor
lid, lift the blade out carefully and remove the wedged piece. Empty the
processing bowl, reinsert the blade, replace the ingredients, and lock the lid in
place to continue processing.
