SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SHORT POWER CORD
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is
at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension
cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter
or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of
the unit.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by
modifying the plug in any way.

owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential
chef-restauranteurs in
America, is credited with
reviving California’s rich
culinary heritage. His
cooking innovations, a
result of blending fresh
California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are
enjoyed by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established
other trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois
on Main in Santa Monica, Trattoria del Lupo, Cut, and his latest
creation, Jai, an Asian fusion restaurant in San Diego. Home chefs can
also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks, cutlery,
cookware and, of course, through his appliances!

Helpful Hints
figure 13 figure 14
• The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the
way in which the food is packed into the feed tube. To prepare shorter
slices, pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 13. To
prepare longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the feed tube,
see figure 14.
continued
Helpful Hints
• For 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.
• Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 1” square. It is best to
process very cold meat (not frozen). Always use the Pulse button in
2 second increments.
• When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut
large vegetables into eighths.
• When processing herbs or garlic cloves, best results are achieved when
using the Mini Bowl. Herbs must be dry prior to processing.
• The quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl will
vary with the density of the mixture.
• When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Processing Bowl before processing. There is no need
to sift ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients
may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the
Feed Tube in the processor cover.
• When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula
provided.
• When slicing, shredding and grating, cut all ingredients to a size that
fits comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the feed tube and, while
holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down
evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the food processor.
• For best results, please follow the dough recipes and pasta recipes
exactly to create the best consistency and results.
Warning: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube. Always
use the food pusher.
• For best results when slicing, the Feed Tube should always be packed
firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will
always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food
pusher and the blade. When using the Variable Slicing Disc, excessive
force will cause food to be sliced unevenly. Only slight pressure is
needed from the food pusher when using this attachment.
• For best results when shredding and grating remember that softer
foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well
chilled (not frozen) before processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan
or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing.
Never attempt to shred or grate cheese that cannot be pierced with a
fork or a knife tip.
