• Preparation for Slicing: Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots, cucumbers and celery should be cut flat at both ends. This will provide a consistent slice for all food processed. S-Blade Usage FOOD PUSHER SELECTION Pushers are not required when processing in the bottom of the work bowl with the S-Blade. However, the Feed Tube can be used for adding ingredients while the food processor is running. It is recommended that the Food Pushers be left in place to prevent splashing and avoid unwanted additions to the work bowl. Small Pusher The pusher with smaller chute is typically used when inserting vegetables vertically for smaller cuts. It should be used when slicing foods where a consistent, flat result is desired, such as carrots, celery, pepperoni, etc. This pusher is also preferable when a shorter grate or shred is desired as opposed to a longer shred using the larger feed tube and pusher. The small pusher can be used with the Julienne blade for vertical insertions that result in finely chopped products such as onions or celery. Large Pusher The pusher with larger chute is typically used when inserting vegetables horizontally for longer cuts. This pusher is used when a longer grate or shred is desired, such as long shreds or juliennes of peppers or carrots. It is also used when processing large volumes of food or bulky food items such as potatoes or onions. Special Note: The Continuous Feed Bowl and the Batch Bowl (Work Bowl) use the same food pushers. They are interchangeable. USE INSTRUCTION for S-BLADE (Cutter Blade) in the BATCH BOWL • The S-Blade (cutter blade) is designed for chopping, grinding, pureeing, blending, mixing, and kneading of ingredients required in almost all recipes. • Assemble the bowl and blade as instructed in the section titled, "Assembling the Batch Bowl Parts." Chopping & Mincing • To chop or mince in the bowl, fill the bowl with food product up to the top of the bowls inner tube, or up to 3/4 full. • To chop or mince most effectively, you must quickly start and stop the blades to control the consistency of the chop by pulsing. Use the Pulse button to accomplish this as described under pulsing. Continue pulsing until the desired consistency has been reached. • If chopped foods are processed continuously, the food will be processed unevenly, i.e. food on the bottom will be finely chopped and food on the top will be more coarse. 12
