Helpful Hints
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1.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.
2.Do not overfill work bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to
1⁄2 to 2⁄3 full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4 full. For liquids, fill up to the maximum level as described on page 8. When chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 full.
3.To capitalize on the speed of the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running.
4.When preparing a cake or cookie batter or quick bread, use the multipurpose blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent overchopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients. Do not overprocess.
5.Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients.
6.To clean ingredients from the multipurpose blade easily, just empty the work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse 1 to 2 seconds to spin the blade clean.
7.After removing the work bowl cover, place it upside down on the counter. This will help keep the counter clean.
8.To remove the contents of the work bowl without removing the multipurpose blade, grasp the work bowl from the bottom and place one finger through the center opening to hold the blade in place. Then remove food from the bowl and blade with a spatula.
9.Your Food Processor is not designed to perform the following functions:
•grind coffee beans, grains, or hard spices
•grind bones or other inedible parts of food
•liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
10.If any plastic parts should discolor due to the types of food processed, clean them with lemon juice.
11.When storing your Food Processor, wrap the power cord around the work bowl. Secure the plug by clipping it to the cord.
