Note: Position slicing di\Àsk just to t\be rig\bt of t\be feed c\bute.  T\bis allows t\be 
blade a full rotation before contacting t\be food.4.  To adjust t\be slicing t\bickn\Àess, move t\be lever at t\be base of feed c\bute 
forward and backwards to desired t\bickness setting (1-5mm). \ÀTurn t\be 
lever counterclockwise towards t\be front of t\be food processor for t\bicker 
slices and clockwise towards t\be back of t\be food processor for t\binner

start t\be food processor. Press lig\btly but firmly\À on food pus\ber to guide 
food t\broug\b slicing blade.
Note: Heavy pressure on t\be pus\ber does n\Àot speed t\be work; use t\be pus\ber 
only as a guide. Let t\be processor do t\be work. Pus\bing too \bard may result in 
inconsistent slicing t\bicknes\Às. 
Note: It is possible to c\bange t\be t\bickness of your slices by c\banging 
pressure on t\be food item w\ben guiding it i\Ànto t\be feed tube. Use more 
pressure for a t\bicker slice and less pressure for a t\binner slice. 
Note: C\banging t\bickness settings wit\b ot\ber\À disks or blades in\Àstalled will 
\bave no effect on t\be operation.  6.  W\ben finis\bed, press t\be toggle up towards START|OFF and allow t\be

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN \ÀSLICING   
OR SHREDDING
•  Before slicing round fruits and vegetables t\broug\b t\be processor cut a 
t\bin slice from t\be bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side 
down in t\be feed c\bute. 
•  Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing
•  Select foods t\bat are firm and not over ripe. 
•  Remove t\be core from \bard vegetables, suc\b as ca\Àbbage.
•  To s\bred lettuce or cabbage use t\be s\Àlicing blade. Slice against t\be grain 
using your desired t\bickness setting.
•  W\ben slicing t\binner \Àvegetables cut t\bem jus\Àt s\bort of t\be lengt\b\À of t\be 
feed c\bute; stand t\bem vertically in t\be feed c\bute so t\bey are solidly 
packed and cannot turn \Àor tilt.
•  A few large pieces of food may remain on top of t\be disk after slicing or 
s\bredding.  If desired, cut t\bese by \band and add to mixture.
•  Soft and semi \bard c\beeses s\bould be well c\billed before s\bredding. For 
best results wit\b soft c\bees\Àes suc\b as mozzarella, freeze 15-20 minutes 
before processing. Cut to fit feed tube and process using even pressure. 
•  To slice uncooked meat, cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Remove all visible 
fat. Wrap and freeze food until \bard to t\be touc\b but not solidl\Ày frozen, 30 
minutes to 2 \bours depending o\Àn t\be t\bickness of t\be food. C\beck to be 
sure you can still pierce t\be food wit\b t\be tip of \Àa s\barp knife. If not, allow 
to t\baw slig\btly and process using even pressure.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN \ÀUSING THE 
DOUGH BLADE
• For best results do not prepare recipes using more t\ban 3½  cups flour. 
•  Begin wit\b 1 cup les\Às t\ban t\be maximum a\Àmount of flour and \Àadd 
additional flour, as needed, once mixture is well blended.
•  Pour liquid t\broug\b feed c\bute in a slow steady stream.  
•  Knead doug\b no longe\Àr t\ban one minute.
•   Do not leave processor unattended during operation. 
GENERAL TIPS FOR USING THE PROCE\ÀSSOR
•  Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanup\Às of t\be bowl; process 
dry before wet.
•  T\be processor will be more efficient if filled n\Ào more t\ban 
1/2 to 2/3 full.
•  If s\bredded, sliced or diced food piles up on one \Àside of t\be bowl, stop t\be 
processor and redistribute t\be food using a spatula. 
•  To take advantage of t\be speed of\À t\be processor, drop foods t\broug\b t\be 
feed c\bute wit\b t\be processor running. 
•  To minimize slender foods, suc\b as carrots or celery, from falling over in t\be 
feed c\bute, cut food into several pieces and pack t\be feed c\bute wit\b t\be food. 
•  Apply lig\bt pressure on t\be pus\ber for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) 
and slig\btly more pressure for \bard foods (onions and potatoes). 
•  Do not process foods t\bat are so frozen or \bard t\bat t\be tip of a knife cannot 
be inserted into t\be food.
•  If a piece of \bard food, suc\b as a carr\Àot, becomes wedged or stuck on t\be 
blade, stop t\be processor and unplug, t\ben\À remove t\be blade. Carefully 
remove food from t\be blade.
•   W\ben c\bopping sticky dried fruits, pla\Àce t\be fruits in t\be fr\Àeezer for 
about 10 minutes and add a little \Àflour or sugar to keep t\be pieces from 
sticking toget\ber. 
•  W\ben preparing cake or cookie batter, use t\be S blade to cream fat and 
sugar first and add dry ingr\Àedients last. Place nuts and fruit on\À top of 
U  
						

							16
flour mixture to prevent over c\bopping. Process nuts and fruits \Àusing s\bort 
pulses to blend wit\b ot\ber in\Àgredients. 
•  W\ben using t\be slicin\Àg, s\bredding or dicing di\Àsk, do not let t\be f\Àood 
accumulate too \big\b (over 2/3 full); stop and empty t\be workbowl. 
•  Do not use t\be processor to:
- Grind coffee beans, bones, grains or \bard spices
- Liquefy fruits an\Àd vegetables
- Slice or c\bop warm meat 
CARE AND CLEANING
T\bis product contains no user serv\Àiceable parts. Refer service to qualified 
service professional. 
\bmportant: Always unplug your processor from t\be outlet before cleaning. 
CLEANING
\bmportant: blades are s\barp.  Handle blades and\À disks 
carefully.
•  Completely disassemble processor parts before 
was\bing. 
•  Rinse parts immediately after processing for easier 
cleaning. 
•   Wipe base and feet wit\b a damp clot\À\b and dry 
t\boroug\bly. Stubborn spots can \Àbe removed by 
rubbing wit\b a damp\À clot\b and a mild, \Ànonabrasive 
cleaner. Do not immerse bas\Àe in liquid. 
•  All removable parts can be was\bed by \band. T\be removable parts, except 
for t\be dicing s\baft,\À can be was\bed in t\be dis\bwas\ber, top rack only (V). 
Hand-was\bing of plastic parts will \belp \Àto maintain t\be food processor’s 
appearance. 
•  Some staining of parts m\Àay occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons 
of baking soda and\À 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand 
overnig\bt. Rinse and d\Àry. 
•  Do not use roug\b scouring pads or clea\Ànsers on any plastic or metal parts 
to clean.
•  Do not allow blades or disks t\Ào soak in water for long periods of \Àtime.
•  Remember to clean t\be internal s\baft of t\be c\b\Àopping blade. Use a brus\b 
to remove any residual food particles.
•  If you are \baving trouble closing t\be li\Àd over t\be workbowl, apply a small 
amount of vegetable oil to t\be rim of t\be cover and workbowl. T\bis s\bould 
make t\be pieces work smoot\ber w\ben attac\bing t\be cover to t\be bowl. 
CLEANING TIPS:
• For quick clean up, combine 1 cup warm water and a drop of liquid dis\b 
soap in t\be food processor workbowl.  
•  Cover and process on medium speed for about 30 seconds. 
•  Discard liquid and rinse \Àt\boroug\bly. 
\bmportant: do not place t\be processor parts in boili\Àng liquids.
