Care And Cleaning - Black & Decker FP5050SC Use And Care Book Manual

• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables cut them just short of the length of the small
food chute; this will allow the pusher to engage the interlock mechanism on the
processor. Stand them vertically in the food chute so they are solidly packed and
cannot turn or tilt.
• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding.
• After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop.
• Remove the slicing/shredding disc before removing the workbowl from the
processor. Place the disc on top of the inverted workbowl cover.

cutting blades and discs up and down on the center shaft.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only—not in or near
utensil basket.
• Some stainings of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons of baking

dry.

• 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.
