WARNING

Cut Hazard

Handle blades carefully.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

1.Do not process food that is so hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard food can cause damage to the blade or motor. If a piece of hard food, such as carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop and unplug the processor. Remove the blade and gently remove food from the blade.

2.Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to 12 to 23 full. For thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up to 34 full. For liquids, fill up to the maximum level as described on page 11. For chopping, the work bowl should be no more than 13 to 12 full. Use the mini bowl for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of liquid or 12 cup (120 ml) solids.

3.Position the slicing disc so that the cutting surface is just to the right of the feed tube. This allows the blade a full rotation before contacting the food.

4.To capitalize on the speed of

the processor, drop ingredients to be chopped through the feed tube while the processor is running.

5.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-texture foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer pressure for harder foods (carrots, apples, hard cheese, partially frozen meats, etc.).

6.Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread out or roll up on the shredding disc. To avoid this, shred only well- chilled cheese.

7.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.

8.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 over-chopping. Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses, until blended with other ingredients. Do not over process.

9.When shredded or sliced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and redistribute the food using the spatula.

10.When sliced or shredded food in

the work bowl reaches the bottom of the disc, remove the food.

11.A few larger pieces of food may remain on top of the disc after slicing or shredding. If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture.

12.Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients.

13.To clean ingredients from the multipurpose blade quickly and easily, empty the work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse for 1 to 2 seconds to spin the blade clean.

14.After removing the work bowl cover, place it upside down on the counter. This will help keep the counter clean.

15.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 the spatula. Continued on next page
