Helpful Tips When Slicing and Shredding:
• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice
from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed
chute.
• Always remove seeds and pits before processing.
• Select foods that are firm and not overripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed
chute and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and
cannot turn or tilt.

to remove.

processor. Place the disc on top of the inverted workbowl cover.
Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified
service personnel.
Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or discs. They
are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted
sharpening.
Note: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.
• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy
cleanup.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can
be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner.
Do not immerse base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand washing
of plastic parts will help to maintain the processor's appearance.
• If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot soapy water and rapidly raise and
lower the cutting blade and discs up and down on the center shaft.
• If your sink has a sprayer nozzle, you will find it helpful in rinsing the blades.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only – not in
or near utensil basket.
• Some staining of parts may occur. Make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking
soda / 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse
and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
• Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.
• Remove the workbowl cover and blade. Invert an empty 35-mm film canister
over the hole in the workbowl. Fill with hot, soapy water and allow to soak.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby
bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should
make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.
