Helpful Tips When Slicing and Shredding:

•Before slicing round fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed chute.

•Always remove seeds and pits before processing.

•Select foods that are firm and not overripe.

•Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.

•When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.

•Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.

•Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding.

•After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove the slice/shred disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. Place the disc on top of the inverted workbowl cover.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or discs. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.

CARE AND CLEANING

Note: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.

•Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.

•Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.

•Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.

•All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the processor’s appearance.

•If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot soapy water and rapidly raise and lower the cutting blade and discs up and down on the center shaft.

•If your sink has a sprayer nozzle, you will find it helpful in rinsing the blades.

•If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only – not in or near utensil basket.

•Some staining of parts may occur. Make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda/ 1 tablespoon water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.

•Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.

•Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.

•Remove the workbowl cover and blade. Invert an empty 35-mm film canister over the hole in the workbowl. Fill with hot, soapy water and allow to soak.

•Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.

•If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.
