2.Hold top of blade in place with finger or spatula while pouring out processed food.

At this point, you may either lift the work bowl off motor base, or hold the collar at the base and turn the handle of the bowl counterclockwise and lift blade straight up.

NOTES: Occasionally, a piece of food may become wedged between the blade and the work bowl. If this happens, remove the cover, lift the blade out carefully and remove the wedged piece. Empty the bowl, reinsert the blade and lock the cover into place. Process smaller amounts of the food at one time.

Don't store food or liquids in the food processor work bowl.

CLEANING AND STORING YOUR POWERBLEND DUETFOOD 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 center and move rapidly up and down on the center 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.

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Chopping

THE FOOD

HOW TO PREPARE IT

Fruits and vegetables

Peel and core if necessary. Remove large, hard

 

pits and seeds. Cut into ¾" pieces and process

 

up to 1 cup at a time.

 

 

Meat, poultry and fish

These should be very cold but not frozen. First,

 

cut into ¾" pieces. Put up to ½ pound in work

 

bowl. If you want to chop or purée more, do it

 

in batches of not more than ½ pound each.

 

Pulse/chop or run continuously until desired

 

consistency is reached. Check texture every 2

 

or 3 seconds to avoid overprocessing.

 

 

Bread, crackers or cookies

Break into 1" pieces and process continuously

 

until texture for crumbs is fine. For seasoned

 

crumbs, chop with herbs. For buttered crumbs,

 

dribble melted butter through feed tube while

 

processing – 1 teaspoon melted butter for each

 

slice of bread.

 

 

Crumb crusts

Chop crackers or cookies as described in

 

preceding paragraph. Add sugar, spices and

 

butter and cut into pieces, as specified

 

by recipe. Pulse/chop until combined.

 

 

Hard cheese “grated”

If it’s too hard to cut with a knife, don’t try to

 

chop it – it may damage blade. First cut into ¾"

 

pieces. Pulse/chop until pea-sized, then

 

process continuously. You can chop it as

 

coarse or as fine as you want. Simply run

 

machine longer for finer chop. Process up to 3

 

ounces at one time.

 

 

Whipping cream

Processor-whipped cream works well for most

 

purposes. It is excellent as a topping for

 

desserts or hot drinks. Cream must be at

 

refrigerator temperature. You can whip up to

 

1 cup at a time. Do not use food processor

 

whipped cream to prepare soufflés or other

 

foods where volume is required.

 

 

Parsley and other fresh herbs

Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and

 

dry. Remove stems; use leaves only. Dry herbs

 

completely. The more herbs you chop at once,

 

the finer chop you can get. Chopped herbs

 

keep for several days in the refrigerator in

 

airtight bags, or can be frozen for months.
