HELPFUL HINTS

1. Never process any food that is so  
    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.

3. To capitalize on the speed of the  
    processor, drop ingredients to be 
    chopped through the feed chute  
    while the processor is running.

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.).

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.

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.
