HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING
THE DICING DISK
• Operate the dicing disk on LOW speed.
• Make sure the curved plastic edge of the dicing blade is under the edge
of the dicing disk.
• It is recommended to stop dicing when workbowl is 60% full.
• Blade must be removed from the top of the disk before using the cleanout tool.
• Cut the ends of food to be diced off for most uniform dice.
• For small and soft foods, such as strawberries, use the smallest feed chute
for best results.
• When dicing multiple ingredients, dice softer foods first and end with
hardest food.
• When dicing soft cheese, chill cheese prior to dicing.
• Not recommended for dicing corned beef, raw meat, sweet potatoes,
frozen cheese, or raw chicken.
• When dicing tomatoes, it is recommended to seed and peel them first.
• Firm, seedless cucumbers work best.
USING THE SLICING DISK (GREEN)
Important: The slicing disk can only be used with the
large workbowl. Only run the processor on MEDIUM or
LOW speed when using the slicing disk. DO NOT use
slicing disk with small workbowl.
1. Lock the large workbowl into position on base.
2. Carefully place the slicing disk onto center post in workbowl. You may
need to rotate disk slightly until it fits onto post.
3. Place lid on workbowl and lock into place by rotating counterclockwise.
Place the food pushers into the feed chute. Put ingredients in the feed chute
and guide food down towards blade with the food pusher. Use the small
feed chute for small diameter foods such as carrots, green onions, etc.
N
M

11
Note: Position slicing disk just to the right of the feed chute. This allows the
blade a full rotation before contacting the food.
4. To adjust the slicing thickness, move the lever at the base of feed chute
forward and backwards to desired thickness setting (1-5mm). Turn the
lever counterclockwise towards the front of the food processor for thicker
slices and clockwise towards the back of the food processor for thinner
slices. You are able to adjust thickness while the processor is running. (N)
5. Turn the speed control dial to a MEDIUM (straight up) or LOW (pointing
to the left) speed setting to slice. Press toggle up towards START|OFF to
start the food processor. Press lightly but firmly on food pusher to guide
food through slicing blade.
Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher
only as a guide. Let the processor do the work. Pushing too hard may result in
inconsistent slicing thickness.
Note: It is possible to change the thickness of your slices by changing
pressure on the food item when guiding it into the feed tube. Use more
pressure for a thicker slice and less pressure for a thinner slice.
Note: Changing thickness settings with other disks or blades installed will
have no effect on the operation.
6. When finished, press the toggle up towards START|OFF and allow the
disk to stop revolving completely. Unplug the appliance and turn lid
clockwise to remove.

4. Place lid on workbowl and lock into place by rotating lid counterclockwise
5. Follow remaining steps as indicated in USING THE SHREDDING DISK IN
THE LARGE WORKBOWL.
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SLICING
OR SHREDDING
• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the processor cut a
thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side
down in the feed chute.
• Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing
• Select foods that are firm and not over ripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• To shred lettuce or cabbage use the slicing blade. Slice against the grain
using your desired thickness setting.
• When slicing thinner vegetables cut them just short of the length of the
feed chute; stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly
packed and cannot turn or tilt.
• A few large pieces of food may remain on top of the disk after slicing or
shredding. If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture.
• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding. For
best results with soft cheeses such 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 hard to the touch but not solidly frozen, 30
minutes to 2 hours depending on the thickness of the food. Check to be
sure you can still pierce the food with the tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow
to thaw slightly and process using even pressure.
P

13
• To slice cooked meat, including salami and pepperoni, food should be
very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube and process food using firm,
even pressure.
• Remove the slicing/shredding disk before removing the workbowl from
the processor.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR USING
THE S BLADE
• The processor works very quickly, watch carefully to avoid over-
processing foods.
• For best results, process foods that are about the same size.
• When chopping cooked or raw meat, the food should be very cold.
• Processing nuts or other hard foods may scratch the surface finish on the
inside of the bowl.
• Do not overfill the bowl.
• Never walk away from the processor while it is on.
• Use hot but never boiling liquids.
• The large workbowl has a capacity of 4 cups (32 oz) for liquid and 10
cups (80 oz.) for dry foods; the small workbowl can process up to 3 cups.
• To mince garlic, drop garlic cloves through the feed tube opening while
the processor is running.

8. Unplug appliance when not in use.
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING THE
DOUGH BLADE
• For best results do not prepare recipes using more than 3½ cups flour.
• Begin with 1 cup less than the maximum amount of flour and add
additional flour, as needed, once mixture is well blended.
• Pour liquid through feed chute in a slow steady stream.
• Knead dough no longer than one minute.
• Do not leave processor unattended during operation.
GENERAL TIPS FOR USING THE PROCESSOR
• Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process
dry before wet.
• The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than 1/2 to 2/3 full.
• If shredded, sliced or diced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food using a spatula.
• To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the
feed chute with the processor running.
• To minimize slender foods, such as carrots or celery, from falling over in the
feed chute, cut food into several pieces and pack the feed chute with the food.
• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes)
and slightly more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot
be inserted into the food.
• If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the
blade, stop the processor and unplug, then remove the blade. Carefully
remove food from the blade.
• When chopping sticky dried fruits, place the fruits in the freezer for
about 10 minutes and add a little flour or sugar to keep the pieces from
sticking together.
• When preparing cake or cookie batter, use the S blade to cream fat and
sugar first and add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of
U

16
flour mixture to prevent over chopping. Process nuts and fruits using short
pulses to blend with other ingredients.
• When using the slicing, shredding or dicing disk, do not let the food
accumulate too high (over 2/3 full); stop and empty the workbowl.
• Do not use the processor to:
- Grind coffee beans, bones, grains or hard spices
- Liquefy fruits and vegetables
- Slice or chop warm meat
CARE AND CLEANING
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified

cleaning.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by
rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive
cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand. The removable parts, except
for the dicing shaft, can be washed in the dishwasher, top rack only (V).
Hand-washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor’s
appearance.
• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons
of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand
overnight. Rinse and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts
to clean.
• Do not allow blades or disks to soak in water for long periods of time.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade. Use a brush
to remove any residual food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the lid over the workbowl, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should
make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.
CLEANING TIPS:
• For quick clean up, combine 1 cup warm water and a drop of liquid dish
soap in the food processor workbowl.
• Cover and process on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
• Discard liquid and rinse thoroughly.
Important: do not place the processor parts in boiling liquids.
