HELPFUL HINTS
• The Waring™ Tomato Press can process either uncooked or
blanched tomatoes. For best results blanch the tomatoes in a
strainer over boiling water or boil them for 30–60 seconds. Steam
or boil the tomatoes until the skin starts to crack. (Blanched
tomatoes are easier to feed with little force needed to push the
tomatoes down into the feed chute).
• After cooking, let the tomatoes cool, then cut in quarters before
processing.
• For thicker sauce, take the pulp/seeds that have been extruded
through the pulp exit and run them through the machine again.
This will collect any of the remaining juice and help to thicken the
sauce.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
There are two different ways that you can assemble the tomato
press to be sure it operates properly. Please follow either Option A
or Option B, depending on the method that is easiest for you.
Option A: Assembling the main housing first
1. Place the tomato press on a flat and sturdy surface where it
will not be knocked over.
2. Insert the feed chute into the
main housing. Secure it from
right to left until it clicks into
place and is upright.
3. Place the drive coupling
assembly into the auger
(NOTE: It will not fit fully into
the auger, part of the spring
will be visible).
