Tips for Great Results
• Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the feed
tube, resulting in an uneven slice. To
minimize this, cut food in several pieces
and pack the feed tube with the food.
For processing small or slender items,
the small feed tube in the two piece food
pusher will prove especially convenient.
Using the Dough Blade
The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly
and thoroughly. For the best
results, do not knead recipes
which use more than 2-3 cups
(475 - 710 ml) of flour.
Helpful Hints
• To avoid damage to the blade or motor, do
not process food that is so hard or firmly
frozen that it cannot be pierced with the
tip of a sharp knife. If a piece of hard food,
such as a carrot, becomes wedged or
stuck on the blade, stop the processor and
remove the blade. Gently remove food
from the blade.
• 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 17. 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 (235
ml) of liquid or 1/2 cup (155 g) solids.
• Position slicing discs so the cutting surface
is just to the right of the feed tube. This
allows the blade a full rotation before
contacting the food.
• To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be chopped
through the feed tube while the processor
is running.
• 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.).
• When preparing a cake or cookie batter
or quick bread, use the multipurpose
blade to cream fat and sugar first. Add dry
ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top
of flour mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short pulses,
until blended with other ingredients. Do
not overprocess.
• When shredded or sliced food piles up on
one side of the bowl, stop the processor
and redistribute the food using a spatula.
• When food quantity reaches the bottom
of a slicing or shredding disc, remove the
food.
• A few larger pieces of food may remain on
top of the disc after slicing or shredding.
If desired, cut these by hand and add to
mixture.
• Organize processing tasks to minimize
bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm
ingredients before liquid ingredients.
• Soft and medium-hard cheese may spread
out or roll up on the shredding disc. To
avoid this, shred only well-chilled cheese.
• To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily, just empty the
work bowl, replace the lid, and pulse 1 to
2 seconds to spin the blade clean.
• After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.

Troubleshooting
If your Food Processor should malfunction or fail to operate,
check the following:
Food Processor doesn’t run:
• Make sure that the bowl and lid are
properly aligned and locked in place and
the large food pusher is inserted in the
feed tube.
Food Processor not shredding or slicing
properly:
• Make sure the raised-blade side of the
disc is positioned face up on the common
adapter.
• When using the large feed tube opening,
make sure that food is not above the Max.
Fill line on the feed tube.
• If using the adjustable slicing blade, make
sure it is set to the correct thickness.
• Make sure ingredients are suitable for
slicing or shredding. See “Tips and Tricks
for Great Results.”

If the work bowl cover won’t close when
using the disc:
• Make sure the disc is installed correctly,
with the raised nub on top, and is
positioned properly on the drive adapter.

The Food Processor will not operate if
more than one button is pressed at the
same time.
• Is the Food Processor plugged in?
• Is the fuse in the circuit to the Food
Processor in working order? If you have a
circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit is
closed.
• Unplug the Food Processor, then plug it
back into the outlet.
If the problem is not due to one of the above
items, see “Warranty”.
Do not return the Food Processor to the
retailer. Retailers do not provide service.
• If the Food Processor is not at room
temperature, wait until it reaches room
temperature and retry.
