Care and Cleaning

1.Press the O (OFF) button.

2.Unplug the Food Processor before cleaning.

3.Wipe the base and cord with a warm, sudsy cloth, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

4.Please note these BPA-free bowls require special handling. If you choose to use

a dishwasher instead of hand washing, please follow these guidelines.

-- All parts are top rack dishwasher safe. -- Avoid laying the bowl on its side.

-- Avoid using high temperature settings such as sanitize or steam settings.

5.If washing the Food Processor parts by hand, avoid the use of abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. They may scratch or cloud the work bowl and cover. Thoroughly dry all parts after washing.

6.To prevent damage to the locking system, always store the work bowl and work bowl cover in the unlocked position when not in use.

7.Wrap the power cord around the work bowl. Secure the plug by clipping it to the cord.

8.Disassembled discs, shafts, and blades should be stored in the provided storage case, and in a location out of the reach of children.

Tips for Great Results

Using the Multipurpose Blade

To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove

seeds. Cut food in 1 to 11/2-inch (2.5-4 cm) pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to

2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes):

Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) liquid from recipe per cup (235 mL) of food. Process food, using short pulses, until finely chopped. Then process continuously until reaching desired texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.

To prepare mashed potatoes:

Shred hot cooked potatoes using the shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc for multipurpose blade. Add softened butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times,

2 to 3 seconds each time, until smooth and milk is absorbed. Do not over process.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:

The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) flour from recipe per 1/2 cup

(120 mL) dried fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses, until reaching desired texture.

To finely chop citrus peel:

With sharp knife, peel colored portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Process until finely chopped.

To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables:

With processor running, add food through the feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping.
