Operation
The LOW and HIGH functions are used when shredding, slicing or mixing for more
7.
than a few seconds. DO NOT operate the food processor continuously for more
than one minute. If the food processor runs for an exceptionally long time when
processing thick or heavy mixtures in successive batches, the power base may
overheat.
Helpful Tip: DO NOT allow food to build up to the underside of the reversible plate –
empty the bowl regularly.
Use the PULSE speed for short bursts; the PULSE will operate for as long as the
8.
speed control knob is held in the PULSE position. When using the PULSE function,
turn and hold the speed control knob to the left. The food processor will
automatically shut off as soon as the speed control knob is released.
Helpful Tip: Be careful to not over-process the food. The PULSE function offers the best
control when using the food processor.
9.
When using the slicing or shredding plate, apply even pressure to push food down
through the feed tube using the food pusher while the food processor is running at
the selected speed.
Helpful Tip: Longer shreds can be obtained by stacking pieces horizontally in the feed
tube (e.g., carrots).
10. When adding liquids while processing, carefully pour them through the feed tube
in a slow, steady stream. To prevent spills when adding flour, sugar and other
dry ingredients while processing, use a funnel with the feed tube. When adding
smaller pieces of food like cheese, meat or garlic cloves, simply drop them through
the open feed tube.
Helpful Tip: Adding liquids while processing is especially useful when making sauces,
bread dough, cakes and many other recipes.
11. The OFF position is used to turn off the food processor after the unit has finished
processing the food.
Danger of personal injury due to improper use .
NEvER unlock the lid while the food processor is operating or with either the knife
blade or reversible plate attachment spinning.
12. Use the speed control knob to turn off the food processor, and then unplug the
unit from the electrical outlet.
13. To remove the lid, push the raised locking tab on the lid clockwise (i.e., right), as
shown in Figure I on p. 19, to release the safety interlock mechanism from the
bowl. DO NOT remove the lid and bowl together; this may damage the safety
interlock mechanism.
