Using your Food Processor

• Position the processing bowl on the
motor base, with the processing lid off.
The handle of the bowl needs to be facing
you. Rotate the processing bowl counter-
clockwise to lock into position.

Tips for the best Food Processing Results

Chopping
For the best, most 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 processing, the finished results will
be more uniform.
More consistent processing results are
achieved if the processing bowl is not
MAX FOOD LEVEL
overloaded.

When processing vegetables such as

vegetables into eighths.
Mixing
The quantities that can be processed within
the processing bowl will vary with the
density of the mixture.
Adding ingredients
When various recipes require dry
ingredients such as flour, add them directly

into the processing bowl before processing.
2
There is no need to sift ingredients
when using your Multi Processor. Liquid
ingredients may be added while the
processor is operating by pouring through
the feed tube in the processor lid.
Note: When processing sauces or semi-
liquid ingredients, stop the food processor
and scrape down the bowl sides with a
spatula.
Using the Feed Tube
The most important factor for successful
slicing and shredding is the way in which
the food is packed into the feed tube.
Slicing, shredding and grating
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. The more firmly you push,
the thicker the slices or shreds. Do not use
excessive force or you may damage the food
processor.
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 blade.
Note: Never use fingers to push food
down the feed tube. Always use the food
pusher.
For best results when shredding and
grating
Remember that softer foods such as
cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss)
should be well chilled before processing.
Harder foods such as parmesan or Romano
cheese should be at room temperature
before processing.
Note: When grating parmesan cheese
do not apply a lot of pressure to the food
pusher.
Disassembly
When processing is completed, remove
the lid from the processing bowl first and
then remove the processing bowl with the
processing blade still in place.
To remove the processing bowl firstly
unlock the processing bowl lid by rotating
it in a clockwise direction until the lid is
unlocked.
Note: Always wait for the processing
blade to stop moving completely before
removing the bowl lid.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution, as blades
are sharp. Always handle the processing
blade by the plastic central section.
