HINTS FOR BEST USE
-Keep
Food
Processor on counter so it is ready
to
use at any time.
-Do not over process food.
-Always position
bowl
and
lock
on base before putting blade or disc
in
position. Position blade or disc securely.
-Always
wait
until blade or disc has completely stopped turning before
removing cover.
-The bowl will hold up to
4
cups of semi-liquid ingredients (mixture of
liquids
and solids) or 6 cups of grated or sliced food such as vegetables or
cheese. Do not overfill.
-Process
dry or solid ingredients first before processing moist
ingredi-
ents. Wh
ile it is
not necessary
to
pre-chop
foods
to be
processed, it
is
advisable for finished uniformity that all ingredients be approximately
same size before processing. As a
general rule,
cut food into
1-inch
pieces.
-If hard foods, such as vegetables or cheese become wedged between
blade and side of
bowl,
turn motor off, unplug from
wall,
remove
wedged
piece.
-If action
stops
during
processing or ingredients stick to
the
sides of
bowl,
turn motor off, remove cover and use a rubber spatula to gently push
mix-
ture toward
blades.
-
Your Food Processor works in
seconds,
not in
minutes,
therefore, iarge
quantities can be processed in a short t
ime.
When preparing large
quantities of
food,
process
in
small batches and combine. Be carefu
l
not
to over process food.
-
The amount of food to put into
bowl
will
depend
on the food and
the
process being
used.
- It
is
not recommended
ice
be crushed in th is unit as damage may result
to STEEL
Blade.
-For the most even results, chop only one type of vegetable at a
time.
In
some cases, however,
it is
acceptable to chop a few
together,
such as
onions,
peppers
and garlic.
You
can do
this when
the
texture
of the chop-
ping
is not critical, as in a soup
to
be
pureed.
-For
perfect slices,
pack
the Food Chute tightly, so the food
can't
fall over
sideways. For smaller amounts of food, such as
one
carrot,
cut in pieces
to fill up the chute, (or see page
17for
an alternate
method).
Be
sure to cut
a slice off the end of
the
food,
so it is flat against the disc.
If
the
food
is put
into the chute loosely, it may tip over and the slices
will
be elongated, or
on an
angle,
rather than perfectly
round.
-When
using the
Discs,
use moderate pressure for harder foods
(examples:
carrots, cheese); lighter
pressure
for delicate foods
(examples:
strawberries,
bananas).
Never
force
food through the
discs.
-When
slicing,
the more
pressure you
use
on the
food pusher,
the thicker
the slices
will
be;
the lighter
you push, the thinner the
slices.
-
Draw
the
outline of the top and bottom of the chute on a piece of card-
board and cut out the
shapes.
Take
this
along when food shopping
to help
you select vegetables and fruits that are just the right size
to fit the
chute,
without
trimming or
cutting.
-The bottom of the chute is slightly larger than the top. You can
use
this
to
advantage by
inserting
wider
foods
like cucumbers, potatoes or
onions,
through the
bottom of the chute. Hold the
food in
place, then position
the
cover.
In
this
way
you can get
larger,
rounder
slices
with less
trimming
to
fit the
chute.
