Selecting The Work Bowl; Selecting The Blade/Disc - Cuisinart EASY PREP PRO FP8SE Manual De Instrucciones

1. SELECTING THE WORK BOWL

• The Food Processor is supplied with two work bowls.
• The large work bowl has a maximum capacity of 1.9L and can be used with the large chopping/
mixing blade and the two reversible slicing and grating/shredding discs.
• The small work bowl has a maximum capacity of 0.7L and can be used with the small chopping/
mixing blade only. The seal on the inner bowl prevents any leakage into the large work bowl,
allowing you to use the small bowl without the need to wash up the large bowl after use.
N.B. The large work bowl must always be fi tted before the small work bowl can be set up inside.
It will not always be possible to use the work bowls to their maximum capacity. The amount of food/
liquid you can process in the bowls will depend on the density of the ingredients in the work bowl
and the consistency of the desired end result. For example, to achieve a consistent result when
chopping or pureeing nuts, fruits, vegetables or meats you may need to process in batches of 300-
500g. If you are kneading a paste which may become very dense, it is advisable to work with a small
quantity of 1 kilo (625 g of fl our + 375 ml of water) in the large bowl and to work with a small quantity
of 280 g in the small bowl (175 g and 105 ml of water).
If you fi nd that the motor is struggling or that the processing results are uneven, then we would
recommend that you reduce the amount of ingredients in the work bowl and instead process in
batches.
For liquid, we recommend that you do not fi ll the bowls above the Maximum Liquid Fill markings on
each bowl (700 ml on the large work bowl and 300ml on the small work bowl.) This is to avoid liquid
spilling into the central spindle which may cause leakage.
N.B. If you are processing very thin liquid such as water in the large bowl, you may need to reduce the
amount of liquid to around 600ml to avoid thin liquid escaping from the lid.

2. SELECTING THE BLADE/DISC

For chopping, mixing, blending and puréeing use the chopping/mixing blades.
• The large chopping/mixing blade can only be used with the large work bowl.
• The small chopping/mixing blade can only be used with the small work bowl.
For slicing and grating/shredding use one of the reversible discs.
• Use one disc for fi ne slicing (2mm) and fi ne grating/shredding. (Fig. 1)
• Use the other disc for medium slicing (4mm) and medium grating/shredding. (Fig. 2)
Both discs are labelled accordingly.
