ENGLISH Troubleshooting • If your Food Processor shuts off while it is running: - The Food Processor may be overheated. If the motor exceeds a certain temperature, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. This should be an extremely rare occurrence. If it happens, press the OFF Button and wait 15 minutes for the Food Processor to cool before resuming. If the Food Processor still refuses to run, wait an additional 15 minutes for the Food Processor to cool.

USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE To chop fresh fruits or vegetables: Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut food in 1- to 11⁄2 -inch (2.5 to 3.75 cm) pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl if necessary. To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes): Add 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe per cup (235 ml) of food. Process food using short pulses until finely chopped. Then process continuously until desired texture is achieved. Scrape sides of bowl if necessary. 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 desired texture is achieved. 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. 14
