TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

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 mixer and remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.

•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 mixer is running.

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

•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.

•Sometime 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 2-piece food pusher will prove especially convenient. For best results, cut a small amount off the end to create a flat surface when processing a single carrot or celery stalk.

•Different foods require varying degrees of pressure and speed for optimal results. In general, use light pressure and low speed for soft, delicate foods (soft fruits and vegetables like kiwi, ripened tomatoes, soft cheeses), and firmer pressure

with high speed for harder foods (hard vegetables like potatoes and carrots, hard cheeses and meats like pepperoni).

•After removing the lid, place it upside down on the counter. This will help keep the counter clean.

•Your Food Processor attachment 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

-- Slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled meats.

•If any plastic parts should discolor due to the types of food processed, clean them with lemon juice.

•Quickly rinse the liner between foods to elminate cross contamination of foods.
