Tips and Techniques
• For a more uniform consistency,
start with pieces of food that
are similar in size. Cut food into
1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before
processing with Chopping/
Mixing Blade.
• This Food Processor is excellent
to chop, mix, slice, or shred most
foods. However, to maintain peak
performance, do not use your
Food Processor Attachment for
the following: grinding grain,
coffee beans, or spices; slicing
frozen meats; kneading dough;
or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce best
results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can be
sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. If unit is operated
continuously for an extended
period of time, let Food Processor
Attachment rest about 4 minutes
before continuing.

• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as they
are easily overprocessed and will
become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use
only firm cheese like cheddar,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss that has
been chilled for at least
30 minutes.
• Reversible Slicing/Shredding
Disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on
other side. The name engraved
on blade, facing up, is the
function selected. For slicing, the
word "SLICE" should face up;
for shredding, the word word
"SHRED" should face up. Place
on Food Processor Adapter with
desired cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice,
remove from Bowl, and restack
vegetables. Pack into Food Chute
with slices vertical. Slice again to
make matchstick-cut vegetables.
• When using Food Processor
Chopping/Mixing Blade, do not
process liquids past MAX LIQUID
FILL line, and other ingredients
past the 3-cup/24 oz. line.
