Helpful Hints
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1. Do not process food that is so hard or
firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced
with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard
food can cause damage to the blade
or motor. If a piece of hard food,
such as carrot, becomes wedged or
stuck on the blade, stop and unplug
the processor. Remove the blade and
gently remove food from the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini
bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl
up to 1/2to 2/3full. For thicker mixtures,
fill work bowl up to 3/4full. For liquids,
fill up to the maximum level as
described on page 11. For chopping,
the work bowl should be no more
than 1/3 to 1/2full. Use the mini bowl
for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of liquid or
1/2cup (120 ml) solids.
3. Position the slicing disc so that the
cutting surface is just to the right
of the feed tube. This allows the
blade a full rotation before contacting
the food.
4. To capitalize on the speed of
the processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube while
the processor is running.
5. Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and
slicing results. In general, use light
pressure for soft, delicate foods
(strawberries, tomatoes, etc.),
moderate pressure for medium-texture
foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and
firmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheese, partially
frozen meats, etc.).
6. Soft and medium-hard cheese may
spread out or roll up on the shredding
disc. To avoid this, shred only well-
chilled cheese.
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.
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 over-chopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not over process.
9. When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using the spatula.
10. When sliced or shredded food in
the work bowl reaches the bottom of
the 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. Processdry or
firm ingredients before liquid ingredients.
13. To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade quickly and easily,
empty the work bowl, replace the lid,
and pulse for 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.
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 the spatula.
