Helpful Hints
• For 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 you begin processing, the finished results will be
more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the
container is not overloaded.
• Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 1” square. It is best to
process very cold meat (not frozen). Always use the Pulse button in
2 second increments.
• When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut
large vegetables into eighths.
• When processing herbs or garlic cloves, best results are achieved when
using the Mini Bowl (purchased separately). Herbs must be dry prior
to processing.
• The quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl will
vary with the density of the mixture.
• When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Processing Bowl before processing. There is no need
to sift ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients
may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the
Feed Tube in the processor cover.
• When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula
provided.
• When 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. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the food processor.
Warning: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube.
Always use the food pusher.
• 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. When using the Variable Slicing Disc, excessive
force will cause food to be sliced unevenly. Only slight pressure is
needed from the food pusher when using this attachment.
Storing Your Food Processor
17
Processing Bowl storage
1 Fit the Processor Bowl and Spindle as detailed previously,
in figures 1, and 2.
2 Place the Universal S-Blade over the Spindle and snap into place.
3 Place the Variable Slicing blade over the Spindle, see figure 6, and
then fit the processing cover to the processing bowl. Do not lock
the cover onto the bowl, simply place it on top without locking
(for storage only - see figure 7).
4 Place the food pusher in the feed tube.
Cord storage
The power cord can be stored by pushing it into the back of the motor
base.
