Helpful Hints

Food Processor

1Never attempt to process any food that cannot be cut with a sharp knife.

2When 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.

3To chop nuts, use the chopping blade and the pulse setting. Use short pulses. Process smaller batches for coarser texture.

4Let hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano, come to room temperature before processing. For best results, chill soft cheeses in the freezer, such as cheddar and mozzarella, for 10 to 15 minutes

before processing.

5Make sure uncooked meats and poultry are very cold before

processing.

6Do not overfill processing bowl. Fill no more then 1/3 to 1/2 full when chopping. The bowl can hold up to 3 cups of dry ingredients or 2

cups liquid.

7Position the slicing and shredding disks so that cutting surfaces are

to the right of the feed tube. This will allow one full rotation of the blade before contacting food.

8If any part becomes stained or discolored after processing, clean

with bleach and water solution.

9When 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.

10This food processor is NOT designed to crush ice.

1 1 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.

12If the food processor suddenly stops running, turn the unit OFF and unplug. Let the unit cool down for 15 minutes and restart.

13A food processor is not recommended for making Italian meringue (a meringue made by using hot sugar syrup).

14In the P(ulse) mode, the Processing Blade rotates at its maximum speed as long as the button is pressed.

15If the ingredients stick to the blade or to the inside of the Mixing Bowl, switch the appliance off, unplug from wall outlet and remove the Lid and the blade. The ingredients can then be scraped off using a spatula.

16Cut the ingredients into small pieces before placing them in the Mixing Bowl.

17The machine chops very quickly. Make sure the machine does not chop for too long! It is better to chop briefly a number of times using the P(ulse) mode.

18Do not chop hard ingredients in the Mixing Bowl, such as coffee beans, nutmeg or ice cubes.
