  1. Do not process food that is so hard or 

firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced 
with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard 
food can cause damage to the blade 
or motor. If a piece of hard food, 
such as carrot, becomes wedged or 
stuck on the blade, stop and unplug 
the processor. Remove the blade and 
gently remove food from the blade.

  2. 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 11. For 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 (120 ml) solids.

  3. Position the slicing disc so that the 

cutting surface is just to the right 
of the feed tube. This allows the 
blade a full rotation before contacting 
the food.

 4.  

To capitalize on the speed of 
the processor, drop ingredients to be 
chopped through the feed tube while 
the processor is running.

  5. 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-texture 
foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.), and 
firmer pressure for harder foods 
(carrots, apples, hard cheese, partially 
frozen meats, etc.).

  6. Soft and medium-hard cheese may 

spread out or roll up on the shredding 
disc. To avoid this, shred only well-
chilled cheese.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 over-chopping. 

    Process nuts and fruits, using short 

pulses, until blended with other 
ingredients. Do not over process.

  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. To clean ingredients from the 

multipurpose blade quickly and easily, 
empty the work bowl, replace the lid, 
and pulse for 1 to 2 seconds to spin 
the blade clean.

 14. After removing the work bowl 

cover, place it upside down on the 
counter. This will help keep the 
counter clean.

 15. To  remove the contents of 

the work 
bowl without 
removing the 
multipurpose 
blade, grasp 
the work bowl 
from the bottom 
and place one finger 
through the center 
opening to hold the 
blade in place. Then 
remove food from the 
bowl and blade with the spatula.
