Helpful Hints
•
Never attempt to process any food that cannot be cut with a sharp knife.
•
When mincing garlic, fresh herbs or small quantities of foods, add to feed
tube with multipurpose blade in place and processor running. Make sure
bowl and all parts are very dry before processing garlic or fresh herbs.
•
To chop nuts, use multipurpose blade and the pulse setting. Use short
pulses. Process smaller batches for coarser texture.
•
Let hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano, come to room
temperature before processing. Freeze soft cheeses, such as cheddar and
mozzarella, for 10 to 15 minutes before processing.
•
Make sure uncooked meats and poultry are very cold before processing.
•
Do not overfill processing bowl. Fill no more then 1/3 to 1/2 full when
chopping. The bowl can hold up to 10 cups of dry ingredients or 2 cups
liquid.
•
Position the slicing and shredding discs so that cutting surfaces are to the
right of the feed tube. This will allow one full rotation of the blade before
contacting food.
•
When processing several slices or pieces of food, put as many pieces as will
fit in feed tube together to help hold each other in place.
•
This food processor is NOT designed to grind coffee beans or spices
or crush ice.
•
Most foods can be processed in 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the
quantity. For large quantities, process in several batches. Let the processor
rest about 1 minute between batches.
•
If the food processor suddenly stops running, turn the unit OFF and unplug.
Let the unit cool down for 15 minutes and restart.
•
A food processor is not recommended for making Italian meringue
(a meringue made by using hot sugar syrup).
•
Hot liquids (less than 176˚F) and hot foods can be processed in the bowl.
•
Be sure to process small amounts of liquids —2 cups or less at a time.
Larger amounts may leak from the bowl.

Care & Cleaning
NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or
the reversible disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be
ruined by attempted sharpening.
Cleaning
1 Before cleaning, be sure the unit is switched off and the cord is unplugged.
2 Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
3 Wipe the base, control panel, and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the base in liquid.
4 All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher, top rack.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp, handle carefully.
•
If washing by hand, wash in hot sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If
necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl and
food chute/cover, this type of brush will also help prevent cutting yourself
on the sharp chopping blade and slice/shred disc.
•
If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack
only – not in or near the utensil basket.
5 Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
6 Do not fill the bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling
water. Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove
stains, make a paste of 2 tablespoons (30ml) baking soda and 1 tablespoon
(15ml) warm water. Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse
with sudsy water and dry.
