Page 10

SLICING AND SHREDDING

1.Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base in the usual way. (See steps 1 and 2 on page 6.)

2.Pick up adapter stem. Hold stem by side that has the octagon shape (eight sided) and push rounded side down as far as it will go on motor shaft.

3.Place the reversible slicing/shredding disc with the desired cutting edge facing up onto the adapter stem. Always handle slicing/shredding disc by the rim. Never touch sharp cutting blades.

4.Put cover on work bowl, lock it into place by twisting it clockwise and insert food in feed tube.

5.Insert pusher. Use moderate pressure to push down on pusher with one hand while using your other hand to push the On button, Pulse button, and hold down the Food Processor button. Slicing and shredding only take a few seconds.

Wait until disc stops spinning before removing cover. When it stops, remove cover before removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this could damage work bowl.

6.Remove slicing/shredding disc before removing work bowl. To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight up. Holding work bowl collar, turn work bowl counterclockwise and lift it straight up to remove it from base.

RECIPE TIPS FOR USING YOUR SMARTPOWER DUET BLENDER:

Chopping Nuts

Pulse 1/2 cup of nuts (shells removed) on chop 4-5 times. Turn blender off; scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn blender on and pulse on chop 2-3 times. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times for more coarsely chopped results. For best results, process no more than 1 cup at a time.

Bread, Cookie or

Cracker Crumbs

For best results, use day-old bread (drier bread works best). Break bread slices into 15mm pieces, and process no more than 1 cup of pieces at a time on mix for 5-10 seconds. Crackers and cookies should also be broken into 15mm pieces; process 1 cup at a time on mix for 10-15 seconds. Turn blender off.

Crushing Ice

(Blender Jar Only)

Add up to 10 large ice cubes to blender jar. Press the “Ice Crush” Button, using short bursts, 10 times or until cubes are the consistency of snow. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times if coarsely chopped ice is desired.

Grating Citrus Zest

For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips (using vegetable peeler). Use no more than

8 strips at a time (zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe) to the blender jar. Blend on food processor speed for 15-20 seconds. Turn blender off.

Grinding Hard Cheese

Cut cheese into 15mm pieces. Blend on food processor speed for 30 seconds. Turn blender off. For best results, grind no more than 100g of cheese at a time.

Grinding Spices

For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and dry. Add 1/4 -1/2 cup of spices, seeds or peppercorns to blender jar. Blend on food processor speed for 30-35 seconds. Turn blender off.

Whipping Cream

Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy cream) at a time. Blend on mix, and process for 45-60 seconds or until creamy and smooth. If making sweetened cream, add sugar after

10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes about 1 cup.

Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Rehydrate 30g of tomatoes in 1 cup boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes and water to blender jar. Cover and pulse on food processor speed 5 times; then run continuously on food processor speed for 15-20 seconds. Turn blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes about 1/2 cup of puréed tomatoes.

CLEANING AND STORING YOUR SMARTPOWER FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT

Store the chopping blade and slicing/ shredding disc as you would sharp knives – out of the reach of children.

The work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and slicing/shredding disc are top shelf dishwasher safe. When placing parts in your dishwasher, insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you place the sharp blade and disc, and be certain to unload the dishwasher carefully.

The gearbox collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.

If you wash the blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic centre and move rapidly up and down on the centre shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective. If necessary, use a brush.

The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.
