5. If washing the Food Processor parts by
hand, avoid the use of abrasive cleansers
or scouring pads. They may scratch or
cloud the work bowl and cover.
Thoroughly dry all parts after washing.
6. To prevent damage to the locking
system, always store the work bowl
and work bowl cover in the unlocked
position when not in use.
7. Wrap the power cord around the work
bowl. Secure the plug by clipping it to
the cord.
8. Disassembled discs, shafts, and blades
should be stored in the provided storage
case*, and in a location out of the reach
of children.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Shred hot cooked potatoes using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding disc
for multipurpose blade. Add softened butter,
milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times,
2 to 3 seconds each time, until smooth and
milk is absorbed. Do not over process.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1/4 cup
(60 mL) flour from recipe per 1/2 cup
(120 mL) dried fruit. Process fruit, using
short pulses, until reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion
(without white membrane) from citrus.
Cut peel in small strips. Process until
finely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs
or small quantities of vegetables:
With processor running, add food through
the feed tube. Process until chopped. For
best results, make sure work bowl and
herbs are very dry before chopping.
