Troubleshooting • If your Food Processor should fail to operate, check the following: – Make sure the work bowl and the work bowl cover are properly locked on the base. – Check that the Food Processor is plugged into a proper electrical outlet. If it is, unplug the Food Processor, then plug it into the same outlet again. If the Food Processor still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the Food Processor is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.
Food Processing Tips USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables: With processor running, add food through the feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping. To chop fresh fruits or vegetables: Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut food in 1- to 11⁄2-inch pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl if necessary.
Food Processing Tips To grate hard cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano: To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as celery, carrots, and bananas: Never attempt to process cheese that cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. You can use the multipurpose blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese in 1-inch pieces. Place in work bowl. Process using short pulses until coarsely chopped. Process continuously until finely grated.
Food Processing Tips To slice uncooked meat or poultry, such as stir-fry meats: To slice cooked meat or poultry, including salami, pepperoni, etc.: Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap and freeze food until hard to the touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on thickness of food. Check to be sure you can still pierce food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly. Process using even pressure. Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube.
Helpful Hints 9. When shredded or sliced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and redistribute the food using the spatula. 10. When sliced or shredded food in the work bowl reaches the bottom of the disc, remove the food. 11. 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. 12. Organize processing tasks to minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry or firm ingredients before liquid ingredients. 13.
