Handy hints for Processing Chopping For the best, most consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the container is not overloaded. Mincing Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 2cm square.
Handy hints for Processing continued Preparing shorter slices Pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 17. For best results when shredding and grating Remember that softer foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well chilled before processing. Harder foods such as parmesan or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing. Note: When grating parmesan cheese do not apply a lot of pressure to the food pusher.
Care and cleaning When you have finished processing, unplug the Cafè Series® Food Processor from the power outlet. All accessories and processor tools can be washed in hot soapy water except for the processor body. Clean the processor body by wiping with a damp cloth. Warning: Care must be taken when handling the metal blades as these items are extremely sharp.
