To slice cooked meat or poultry, including salami, pepperoni, etc.: Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even pressure.
To shred spinach and other leaves:

To shred firm and soft
cheeses:
Firm cheese should be

Process using even pressure.
Using the Dough Blade
The dough blade is specially designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly and thoroughly. For
the best results, do not knead recipes which use more than 3 cups (350 g) of flour.
•Do not overfill work bowl or
•Position slicing discs so the cutting surface is just to the right of the feed tube. This allows the blade a full rotation before contacting the food.
•To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running.
•Different foods require varying degrees of pressure for best shredding and slicing results. In general, use light pressure for soft, delicate foods (strawberries, tomatoes, etc.), moderate pressure for medium foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen meats, etc.).
•Soft and
•Sometimes slender foods, such as carrots or celery, fall over in the feed tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To minimize this, cut food in several pieces and pack the feed tube with the food. For processing small or slender items, the small feed tube in the two piece food pusher will prove especially convenient.

Helpful Hints
•To avoid damage to the blade or motor, do not process food that is so hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.
