Dough
• Always use Low speed when kneading. Be sure
that the medium pusher lock is in the locked posi-
tion when kneading dough to avoid it from moving
around — some vibration is still normal. Always
start the food processor before adding liquid. First
process the dry ingredients (flour, salt, etc.) and
then add the liquid in a slow, steady stream, or
through the drizzle hole in the pusher, allowing the
dry ingredients to absorb it. If liquid is added too
quickly, wait until ingredients in the work bowl have
mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn
off the machine). Never use more than 2½ cups
of white/all-purpose flour when preparing a
yeasted dough.
Using the Reversible Slicing and Shredding Discs
• The slicing side of the discs makes whole slices.
It slices fruits and vegetables, cooked meat and
semi-frozen raw meat. The shredding side of
the discs shreds most firm and hard cheeses.
It also shreds vegetables like potatoes, carrots
and zucchini.
• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing
and shredding. The food will dictate the amount of
pressure: Use light pressure for soft foods, medium
pressure for medium foods and firm pressure for
harder foods. Always process with even pressure.
• For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick
slice on the bottom of the food so that it sits
upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in the
feed tube, cut in half or quarters to fit. Process with
even pressure.

• When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that the
cheese is well chilled.
