7. Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice.
To minimize this, cut
food in several pieces
and pack the feed
tube with the food.
For processing small
or slender items, the
small feed tube in the
two piece food pusher
will prove especially
convenient.
8. When preparing a cake or cookie
batter or quick bread, use the
multipurpose blade to cream fat and
sugar first. Add dry ingredients last.
Place nuts and fruit on top of flour
mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not overprocess.
9. When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula.
10. When food quantity reaches the
bottom of a slicing or shredding disc,
remove the food.
11. A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disc after slicing
or shredding. If desired, cut these by
hand and add to mixture.
12. Organize processing tasks to
minimize bowl cleanup. Process
dry or firm ingredients before
liquid ingredients.
13. To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily, just empty
the work bowl, replace the lid, and
pulse 1 to 2 seconds to spin the
blade clean.
14. After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
Helpful Hints
15. To remove the contents of the
work bowl without removing the
multipurpose blade, grasp the
work bowl from the bottom and
place one finger through the center
opening to hold the blade in place.
Then remove food from the bowl
and blade with a spatula.

to perform the following functions:
• grind coffee beans, grains, or hard

• slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled
17. If any plastic parts should discolor
due to the types of food processed,
