Cheddar and Swiss): Use only
well-chilled cheeses. Put food in
feed tube, press the ON button,
apply light pressure and push
food through. Do not use the
slicing/shredding disc to process
hard aged cheeses such as
Parmesan.
ALWAYS USE PUSHER TO
GUIDE FOOD THROUGH FEED
TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR
FINGERS OR SPATULA.
5. Turn
your stand mixer to speed 8.
6. Unlock cover by turning it
counter-clockwise, then lifting
it straight up and off.
USING THE FOOD
PROCESSOR TO CHOP
AND PURÉE
1. Place the chopping blade over
the shaft in the work bowl. The
blade should slide easily to the
bottom of the bowl. The lower
blade will almost touch bottom
of bowl.
2. Cut food into ½" pieces. You will
get a more even chop if you start
with pieces that are all the same
size.
3. Put pieces into work bowl with
metal blade in place. You can put
in up to 1 cup of food at a time.
To process more, do it in 1-cup
batches.
4. Put cover on work bowl, with
feed tube at about 11 o’clock.
5. Turn the cover clockwise until it
fits into position. Cover lock must
click into locked position in order
for unit to operate. If you have
trouble fitting the cover on the
work bowl, turn chopping blade
hub slightly and replace cover.
6. Turn
your stand mixer to speed 8.
7. Push the ON button to start
chopping or puréeing.
Note: the food processor will
not start until the collar, work
bowl and work bowl lid are
locked into place.
8. Check texture by looking into the
work bowl. Be careful not to
overprocess. For a coarse chop,
press Fold only a few times.
9. If you want a finer chop or a
smooth purée, press the ON but-
ton on your stand mixer and let it
run continuously until the food is
chopped as fine as you want it.
Check frequently through clear
cover or bowl to avoid chopping
too fine. Use a plastic spatula to
scrape down any pieces that
stick to inside of bowl.
Onions and other food with high
water content turn into a smooth
purée very quickly. To avoid
overchopping, check processing
food frequently through the
work bowl.
To process meat, poultry and
fish: You can process up to ½
pound at a time. The meat should
be very cold but not frozen. First
cut into ½" pieces, trim any gristle
from meats – some fat can
remain. To chop, press Fold for 5
seconds, then release. Repeat
three times and check texture.
Continue to chop using the Fold
button until desired texture is
reached.
ADDING FOOD WHILE
PROCESSING
To add liquid to the food processor
attachment while the stand mixer
is running, pour it through open feed
tube. This is especially useful when
making mayonnaise or dressings. A
small hole in the pusher allows you to
add liquids in a slow, steady stream –
useful when making sauces.
To add small pieces of food such as
cheese, meat or garlic cloves, simply
drop them through open feed tube.
To prevent spills when adding sugar
and other dry ingredients, use a
funnel.
REMOVING
PROCESSED FOOD
Before removing processed food,
press OFF on your stand mixer and
wait for the blade to stop spinning.
Then remove cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Never try to
remove cover and work bowl togeth-
er; this can damage the work bowl.
It is important not to let metal blade
fall out of work bowl as you empty it.
Here are two ways to prevent it from
falling out:
1. Before tilting bowl, use a spatula
to remove food from around
blade. Carefully remove blade by
the plastic hub.
2. Hold top of blade in place with
finger or spatula while pouring
out processed food.
NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food
may become wedged between the
blade and the work bowl. If this hap-
pens, remove the cover, lift the blade
out carefully and remove the wedged
piece. Empty the bowl, reinsert the
blade and lock the cover into place.
To avoid this, be sure pieces are ¾"
or smaller and process less at one
time.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Store the chopping blade and slicing/
shredding disc as you would sharp
knives – out of the reach of children.
The work bowl, cover, pusher, chop-
ping blade, and slicing/shredding disc
are top rack dishwasher-safe. When
placing parts in your dishwasher,
insert the work bowl upside down.
Remember where you place the sharp
blade and disc, and be certain to
unload the dishwasher carefully.
The gear collar is not immersible.
To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.
If you wash the blades and discs by
hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving
them in soapy water where they may
disappear from sight. To clean the
metal blade, fill the work bowl with
soapy water, hold the blade by its
plastic center and move rapidly up
and down on the center shaft of the
bowl. Use of a spray hose is also
effective. If necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl should not be placed
in a microwave oven.
