PROCESSING TIPS SLICING AND SHREDDING • Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the food chute. • Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing. • Select foods that are firm and not over ripe. • Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage. • When preparing longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the food chute; for shorter slices, pack them vertically. • Shred hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Romano, at room temperature. • Soft and semi hard cheeses, such as Cheddar, Mozzarella or Swiss should be well chilled before shredding. • When using the slice /shred disc do not let the food accumulate too high; stop and empty the bowl. • Apply light pressure to the food pusher when processing soft foods, such as tomatoes and slightly more pressure for hard foods like onions. • Take advantage of the flexibility and control the food pusher design provides. Use the full- size pusher for thick slices of fruit (like apples) or just use one half when shredding or slicing long, thin veggies (like carrot sticks). CHOPPING AND BLENDING • For best results, process foods that are about the same size. • Do not overload the bowl. • Never leave the processor unattended while it is on. • Do not use food processor to chop ice. • Add liquid ingredients by slowly pouring desired amount through the pouring opening on the cover of the 4-cup bowl. • When blending liquids, apply pressure to the cover to prevent leakage. If contents are very hot, place a cloth over the cover, before applying pressure. • Use hot but never boiling liquids. • Monitor food closely to avoid over-processing. • The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowl will vary with the density of the mixture. • When using the chopping blade to process meats, cut meat into approximately 1" cubes. Process for 15-20 seconds or until evenly processed. PROCESSING LONG AND THIN FOODS 1. Insert HALF of the FOOD PUSHER into the chute (Figure 13), plug the cord into an electric outlet. 2. Load the feed chute with thin or long food, then turn the food processor ON and use the other half of the pusher to continue guiding the food down the chute (Figure 14).

PROCESSING TIPS
SLICING AND SHREDDING
•
Cut all ingredients to a size that fits comfortably into the food chute.
•
Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing.
•
Select foods that are firm and not over ripe.
•
Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
•
When preparing longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the food chute; for shorter
slices, pack them vertically.
•
Shred hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Romano, at room temperature.
•
Soft and semi hard cheeses, such as Cheddar, Mozzarella or Swiss should be well chilled
before shredding.
•
When using the slice /shred disc do not let the food accumulate too high; stop and empty
the bowl.
•
Apply light pressure to the food pusher when processing soft foods, such as tomatoes and
slightly more pressure for hard foods like onions.
•
Take advantage of the flexibility and control the food pusher design provides. Use the full-
size pusher for thick slices of fruit (like apples) or just use one half when shredding or slicing
long, thin veggies (like carrot sticks).
CHOPPING AND BLENDING
•
For best results, process foods that are about the same size.
•
Do not overload the bowl.
•
Never leave the processor unattended while it is on.
•
Do not use food processor to chop ice.
•
Add liquid ingredients by slowly pouring desired amount through the pouring opening on
the cover of the 4-cup bowl.
•
When blending liquids, apply pressure to the cover to prevent leakage. If contents are very
hot, place a cloth over the cover, before applying pressure.
•
Use hot but never boiling liquids.
•
Monitor food closely to avoid over-processing.
•
The quantities that can be processed within the processing bowl will vary with the density
of the mixture.
•
When using the chopping blade to process meats, cut meat into approximately 1” cubes.
Process for 15-20 seconds or until evenly processed.
PROCESSING LONG AND THIN FOODS
1. Insert HALF of the FOOD PUSHER into the chute (Figure 13), plug the cord into an electric
outlet.
2. Load the feed chute with thin or long food, then turn the food processor ON and use the
other half of the pusher to continue guiding the food down the chute (Figure 14).
