Tips and Techniques
• For a more uniform consistency,
start with pieces of food that
are similar in size. Cut food
into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces
before processing with
chopping/mixing blade and
leave room in work bowl for
the food to be tossed around.
• This food processor is
excellent to chop, dice, mix,
slice, or shred most foods.
However, to maintain peak
performance, do not use
your food processor for the
following: grinding coffee
beans or spices, slicing frozen
meats, or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce the
best results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can
be sliced, diced, chopped, or
shredded in seconds. If unit is
operated continuously for an
extended period of time, let the
processor rest about 4 minutes
before continuing.

• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as
they are easily overprocessed
and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use
only firm cheese like Cheddar
or Swiss that has been chilled
for at least 30 minutes.
Cheese should be processed
immediately after being
removed from the refrigerator.
Soft cheese like mozzarella
should be placed in the
freezer for 30 minutes prior to
processing to ensure it is firm
enough for shredding.
• The adjustable slicing disc can
slice foods as thin as 1/32 inch
(0.8 mm) and as thick as
1/4 inch (6 mm).
