Helpful Hints
•
For consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are
approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into
uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be
more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved when
processing small batches.
•
Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 1" square. It is best to process
very cold meat (not frozen). Always use the Pulse button in 2 second
increments.
•
The quantities that can be processed within the Work Bowl will vary with
the density of the mixture.
•
When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Work Bowl before processing. There is no need to sift
ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients may be
added while the processor is operating by pouring through the Feed Tube
in the Bowl Lid.
•
When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula provided.
•
When slicing or shredding, cut all ingredients to a size that fits
comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the feed tube and, while holding
food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down evenly until all
ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use excessive force or you may
damage the food processor.
Warning:
Never use fingers to push food down the Feed Tube. Always use the
food pusher.

Helpful Hints (Cont.)
•
For best results when slicing, the Feed Tube should always be packed
firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will always
be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the Food Pusher and
the Processing Blade. When using the Slicing Disc, excessive force will
cause food to be sliced unevenly. Only slight pressure is needed from the
food pusher when using this attachment.
•
For best results when shredding and grating remember that softer foods
such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well chilled (not
frozen) before processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan or Romano
cheese should be at room temperature before processing. Never attempt
to shred or grate cheese that cannot be pierced with a fork or a knife tip.

•
The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the way
in which the food is packed into the Feed Tube. To prepare shorter slices,
pack the food items vertically in the Feed Tube, see figure 15. To prepare
longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the Feed Tube (see figure
16).
