Placing into Operation with Whipping
Whisk
WARNING
Make sure that the power unit is on a
smooth, clean, suitable work surface and
switched to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull
the electrical cord out to the necessary
length and plug into a convenient outlet.
The mixing bowl with whipping whisk is now
ready for operation. Sample recipes may
be found in the recipe section, at the back
of this manual.
1. Blades on discs are sharp. Handle
carefully. Always use the center plastic
holder to lift or handle discs. Do not
grip the discs by the blades or metal
surfaces.
2. When operating using the slicing or
grating discs keep hands clear of
filling tube. Only work with pusher.
3. Always operate the power unit with
the cover in place.
Mixing bowl tips:
1. When using the mixing bowl to knead
or mix a recipe designed to be
prepared by hand, you will find that with
the Bosch Food Processor you can
usually place all the ingredients in the
mixing bowl at once. When doing this,
always place the liquids in first. This
will assure more thorough mixing.
2. When adding ingredients to a mixture:
a. Turn the rotary switch to a lower
speed
Use of mixing bowl with slicing or grating
discs
Before beginning to attach this or any other
attachment, make sure that the power unit
is on a smooth, clean, suitable work
surface and switched to the Off position,
“O/Off,” and that you have the safety motor
drive cover in place of the high speed,
blender drive.
b. Remove the pusher/measuring cup
c. Add the ingredients through the
feed tube and replace the
pusher/measuring cup.
1. Before using the mixing bowl and
slicing or grating discs for the first
time they should be washed. See
Before Using for the First Time, on
page 4.
3. If a large batch of dough is to be left in
the mixing bowl and allowed to rise, the
cover should be removed and placed
loosely on the bowl so that it is free to
move if the dough should begin to press
on it.
2. Make sure the safety motor drive cover
has been snapped into place on the
high-speed blender drive. Place the
mixing bowl on the dual drive of the
power unit, as shown in figure 4a, and
turn the bowl clockwise with a slight
downward pressure until bowl is firmly
seated.
How to Use Slicing and Grating Discs
All the MCM models comes with the mixing
bowl, cover and pusher/measuring cup and
reversible slicing disc and reversible coarse
grating disc, see figures 5h and 5i. The
MCM 5200 also comes with a fine grating
disc, as shown in figure 5g. The slicing disc
and the grating discs are intended to be
used for slicing and/or grating of vegetables,
as well slicing/grating of soft cheeses and
sausages or meat and grating of vegetables
and hard cheese.
3. Engage the slicing or grating disc,
by picking up the disc you wish to use,
with the side you wish to use facing
upward, by the plastic holder in the
center of the disc and placing over the
rectangular shank of the dual drive of
the power unit.
14
• place the cut zucchini or carrots in
the feeding tube on end until the
feeding tube is packed.
WARNING
The blades on the discs are very sharp.
Handle with care. Use center plastic holder
when handling discs.
To slice a single narrow item, a carrot for
example:
• place the carrot in the feeding funnel
opposite the cutting edge of the disc.
4. Next place the mixing bowl cover on
the bowl. Make sure arrows on cover
and bowl are aligned, so that tabs on
bowl fit into channels in cover and then
turn cover clockwise until tab on cover
enters cover interlock and turn until tab
clicks into place,
The wall of the feeding funnel will then serve
to hold the piece vertical.
When using the slicing or grating discs be
sure to watch the level in the bowl and stop
the slicing or grating before the level of the
material being sliced, or grated reaches the
level of the disc holder.
The cover should be in place whenever
the power unit is in operation. The cover
serves to prevent accidental contact
with the moving disc. Also, the power
unit will not operate unless the tab on
the cover is in place and has engaged
the safety cover interlock.
Slicing and grating tips:
1. Shopping for fruits and vegetables that
will fit into the feeding funnel will simplify
food preparation.
2. Foods that are to be used together may
be sliced together. This can be used to
your advantage. For example, green
onions and celery are often used
together, but feeding the green onions
into the feeding funnel alone is difficult.
Try slicing the green onions at the same
time as the celery by interspersing
them in the feeding funnel with the
celery.
Placing into Operation with Slicing or
Grating Disc
Make sure that the power unit is on a
smooth, clean, suitable work surface and
switched to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull
the electrical cord out to the necessary
length and plug into a convenient outlet.
The mixing bowl with the slicing or grating
disc is now ready for operation.
3. Use the slicing disc to shred lettuce.
4. Do not overcook potatoes that are to
be sliced. Also it is recommended that
you let them cool first. Potatoes must
be cool and firm to obtain the regular
slices.
Place items to be sliced, shredded or
grated in feeding funnel and be sure to use
the pusher to feed items into the discs when
in operation.
Learning how to feed food properly into the
feed funnel is the most important factor for
proper slicing and grating:
1. For long slices or long shreds, place
food into the feeding funnel lengthwise.
2. For short or circular slices, place food
in the feeding tube on end. For
example, if you wish to have circular
slices of zucchini or carrots:
If the slicing/grating disc do not turn (even
after trying the highest speed) and it is
humming the disc has become blocked by
the contents. The power unit should be:
1. Switched to the Off position, “O/Off,”
and unplugged.
2. The top cover should be removed and

removed, whatever tool was being used in
the bowl may be removed by lifting it straight
up.
Blender with Unbreakable Plastic Jar
The MCM 5100 UC and MCM 5200 UC
Bosch Food Processor include the blender
accessory. The blender accessory consists
of the components shown in figure 9.
The mixing bowl can be removed from the
power unit by turning the bowl
counterclockwise while lifting.
WARNING
1. There is a risk of injury from sharp
blades when using the blender
attachment.
The contents may now be used as desired.
2. Keep hands and utensils out of the
blender jar while it is attached to the
power unit.
Care and Cleaning
of Bowl and Its Accessories
The mixing bowl, multifunction blade,
whipping whisk, dough hook, reversible
slicing disc, reversible grating disc and fine
grating disc are dishwasher safe.
3. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
4. Always operate the blender with the
cover in place. Always hold cover in
place while operating the blender to
prevent cover from coming loose.
5. The use of attachments, including
canning jars, not recommended by
the manufacturer, may cause a risk
of personal injury.
It is recommended that the whipping whisk
be removed from its holder for cleaning.
After washing, rinsing and drying, the whisk
may be placed back on the whisk holder
by reversing the action to remove it, see
figure 7.
6. When blending hot and/or frothing
liquids, process a maximum of 18 fluid
ounces (0.5 litres) at a time.
With the power unit turned Off and
unplugged, it should be cleaned only with
a clean, damp cloth. Then wipe off the safety
motor drive cover and reinstall on the power
unit, if necessary. Never use coarse or
caustic cleaning products to clean the
power unit. Never immerse the power unit
in water.
How to Use Blender
The blender is intended to be used for
crushing ice; mixing liquids; pureeing
vegetables; preparing special diet and infant
foods; pulverizing fruit, vegetables, nuts and
dried bread (for bread crumbs); and
preparing mayonnaise and sauces.
Before beginning to attach this or any other
attachment, make sure that the power unit
is on a smooth, clean, suitable work
surface and switched to the Off position,
“O/Off.”
It is recommended that, after cleaning, the
mixing bowl and its cover be stored on the
food processor. In this way, if you wish to
at some later time to use the blender the
mixing bowl and its cover will already be in
place.

1. Before using the blender for the first
time it should be washed. See Before
Using for the First Time, on page 4.

on the high speed blender drive of the
power unit and turn clockwise to lock
in place, see figure 10a. Then place
cover with cover closure/funnel on
blender jar and turn clockwise to lock
in place, figure 10b.
Do not place the blender jar/blade
assembly in the dishwasher or allow it
to stand in water. This will tend to wash
out the lubricant. After cleaning, rinse
thoroughly and dry before using.

Mix all ingredients, except final 2/3’s cup
of oil, for a few seconds at speed 1, then
quickly pour the oil in through the opening
in the cover in a uniformly thick stream, as
shown in figure 11a. Operate the blender at
highest speed until mixture is thick and
smooth (approximately 10-20 seconds).
Makes 1 1/4 cups.
Care and Cleaning of Blender
All components of the blender, except the
blender jar/blade assembly, are dishwasher
safe. It is recommended that the blender
jar/blade assembly be cleaned only under
flowing water rather than in the dishwasher.
Soap and detergent will tend to wash out
the bearing lubricant of the blade/base
assembly. Do not use scouring cleaners on
any of the blender parts.
Tips:
The blender should be operated with careful
consideration as to what is required and/or
desired. The speed at which the blender is
operated and the length of operation for a
given job will depend upon the degree of
fineness desired or the amount being
blended.
With the power unit turned Off and
unplugged, it should be cleaned only with
a clean, damp cloth. Then wipe off the safety
motor drive cover and reinstall on the power
unit, if necessary. Never use coarse or
caustic cleaning products to clean the
power unit. Never immerse the power unit
in water.
