FOOD PROCESSOR SAFETY  
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.We have provided many  
important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read  
and obey all safety messages.  
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential  
hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.  
WARNING  
DANGER  
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGeR”  
or “WARNING.” These words mean: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t  
follow the instructions.  
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, how to reduce the chance  
of injury, and what can happen if the instructions are not followed.  
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS  
Volts: 120 V.A.C. only.  
Hertz: 60 Hz  
NOTe: This Food Processor has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.  
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact  
a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.  
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified  
electrician or service person install an outlet near the appliance.

as an indication of the maximum amount  
of liquid that can be used in the Food Pro.  
When Chopping or Mixing, items may  
be placed around the blade before the  
cover is installed or placed down the feed  
chute during operation. Most items will  
work best when placed around the blade

FOOD PROCESSING TIPS  
Hard cheese  
(example: Parmesan, Romano)  
Julienne / Matchstick slices  
Use the Slicing Disk to prepare julienne  
If the cheese cannot be pierced with the  
tip of a sharp knife, it is too hard to process.  
Do not use your Food Pro for processing.  
or matchstick style strips of produce.  
Place food into feed chute horizontally.  
Using the plunger, push with even  
pressure to make plank like slices.  
Place plank like slices into feed chute  
again. Position the planks vertically  
for shorter pieces or horizontally for  
longer pieces. Process, using even pressure.  
If the cheese can be pierced with the tip  
of a sharp knife, it is okay to continue.  
Soft Cheese can be shredded with the  
shredding disks, but when attempting to  
shred hard cheese, you can use the multi-  
purpose blade.  
Slice uncooked meat or poultry  
Place 1-inch pieces into the work bowl.  
Process, using short pulses, until coarsely  
chopped. Process continuously until finely  
grated. Pieces of cheese can also added  
through the feed chute while the processor  
is running.  
Cut or roll food to fit feed chute.  
Wrap and freeze food until hard to  
the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours,  
depending on thickness of food.  
Check to be sure you can still pierce  
food with the tip of a sharp knife.  
If not, allow items to thaw slightly.  
Process, using even pressure.  
Soft cheese  
For best results with soft cheeses, such  
as mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes  
before processing. Cut to fit feed chute.  
Process, using even pressure.  
Slice cooked meat or poultry food  
should be very cold. Cut in pieces  
to fit feed chute. Process, using  
even pressure.  
20  
 
HELPFUL HINTS  
1. Never process any food that is so  
4. Different foods require varying degrees  
of pressure for best shredding and  
slicing results. In general, use light  
pressure for soft, delicate foods  
(strawberries, tomatoes, etc.),  
moderate pressure for medium foods  
(zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and firmer  
pressure for harder foods (carrots,  
apples, hard cheeses, partially frozen  
meats, etc.).  
hard or firmly frozen that it cannot  
be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife  
Hard food can cause damage to the  
blade or motor. If a piece of hard food,  
such as carrot, becomes wedged or  
stuck on the blade, stop the processor  
and remove the blade. Carefully  
remove food from the blade.  
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini  
bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work  
bowl up to 1⁄2 to 2/3 full. For thicker  
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4 full.  
For liquids, fill up to the maximum  
level as described on page XX. When  
chopping, the work bowl should be no  
more than 1/3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the mini  
bowl for up to 1 cup of liquid or 1⁄2  
cup solids.  
5. Soft and medium-hard cheese may  
spread out or roll up on the shredding  
disc. To avoid this, shred only well-  
chilled cheese.  
6. Sometimes slender foods, such as  
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed  
chute, resulting in an uneven slice.  
To minimize this, cut food in several  
pieces and pack the feed chute with  
the food. For processing small or  
slender items, the small feed chute  
in the two piece food plunger will  
prove especially convenient.  
3. To capitalize on the speed of the  
processor, drop ingredients to be  
chopped through the feed chute  
while the processor is running.  
7. When preparing a cake or cookie  
batter or quick bread, use the multi  
purpose blade to cream fat and sugar  
first. Add dry ingredients last. Place  
nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture  
to prevent over-chopping. Process  
nuts and fruits, using short pulses,  
until blended with other ingredients.  
Do not overprocess.

HELPFUL HINTS  
8. When shredded or sliced food piles  
14. To remove the contents of the work  
bowl without removing the multipurpose  
blade, grasp the work bowl from the  
bottom and place one finger through  
the center opening to hold the blade  
in place. Then remove food from the  
bowl and blade with a spatula.  
up on one side of the bowl, stop the  
processor and redistribute the food  
using a spatula.  
9. When food quantity reaches the bottom  
of a slicing or shredding disc, remove  
the food.  
15. Your Food Processor is not designed  
10. A few larger pieces of food may  
remain on top of the disc after  
to perform the following functions:  
• grind coffee beans, grains, or  
hard spices  
slicing or shredding. If desired, cut  
these by hand and add to mixture.  
• grind bones or other inedible parts  
of food  
11. Organize processing tasks to  
minimize bowl cleanup. Process  
dry or firm ingredients before  
liquid ingredients.  
• liquefy raw fruits or vegetables  
• slice hard-cooked eggs or  
un-chilled meats.  
12. To clean ingredients from the  
multipurpose blade easily, just  
empty the work bowl, replace  
the lid, and pulse 1 to 2 seconds  
to spin the blade clean.  
13. After removing the work bowl cover,  
place it upside down on the counter.  
This will help keep the counter clean.
