The EURO-PROX Quad Blade Food Processor, Model EP91W, is a versatile and powerful kitchen appliance designed for household use. It operates on 120V, 60Hz, and has an 800-watt motor, offering robust performance for various food preparation tasks. The processor bowl has a capacity of 6 cups (1.5 liters), making it suitable for a range of recipes.

Function Description

The primary function of this food processor is to chop, slice, shred, and knead food efficiently. It features a unique Quad Blade system, including a double chopping blade that can be used with one or two blades for different processing needs. The appliance is equipped with a speed control dial offering "Low" and "High" settings, as well as a "Pulse/Turbo" button for greater control over food texture and short bursts of power.

Key attachments and their functions include:

  • Double Chopping Blade: Ideal for chopping meat, fish, vegetables, cheese, and for preparing liquids like soups. It allows for fine or coarse chopping depending on the processing time and pulse usage.
  • Dough Blade: Specifically designed for kneading dough. The manual specifies a maximum capacity of 21 oz (600 g) of flour and 14 oz (400 g) of water to obtain 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of dough.
  • Slicing & Shredding Blades: These blades come with a blade holder and offer various options:
    • Fine Slicing Blade: For thin slices of foods like cucumbers, raw potatoes, lettuce, and carrots.
    • Thick Slicing Blade: For coarser slices of foods like cabbage, carrots, and onions.
    • Fine Shredding Blade: For fine shredding of carrots, cucumbers, and cabbage.
    • Coarse Shredding Blade: For coarser shredding of lettuce, carrots, and apples.
  • French Fry Blade Assembly: This specialized blade is pre-assembled to its holder and is used to create french fries.
  • Whipping Attachment (Optional): An additional attachment for whipping ingredients.

The appliance incorporates a safety interlock switch, ensuring the unit will not operate unless the food processor lid is securely locked in place. It also includes a re-settable thermal safety device that automatically cuts power to the appliance in case of overload or excessive temperature, protecting the motor and drive system from damage.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Model: EP91W
  • Voltage: 120V., 60Hz.
  • Power: 800 Watts
  • Capacity: 6 Cups (1.5 Liters)
  • Speeds: Low, High, Pulse/Turbo
  • Safety Features: Safety interlock switch, re-settable thermal safety device, polarized plug.

Usage Features

  • Setting Up: The processor bowl is placed onto the processor body without needing to be turned. The lid then locks into place by turning counter-clockwise until it clicks and aligns with a dot on the unit.
  • Speed Control: The speed control dial allows for adjustment between "Low" and "High" speeds, even while the processor is in use. The "Pulse/Turbo" button provides short bursts of power for precise control over texture. "Pulse" is used when the unit is off, and "Turbo" when it's on.
  • Food Pusher: A food pusher is provided and must always be used to add food into the feeder tube, ensuring safety and preventing contact with moving blades.
  • Overload Protection: The thermal safety device requires a cool-down period (30 minutes to 2 hours) if activated due to overload.
  • Dough Kneading: For dough, the machine should not operate longer than 20 seconds at a time, with a 2-minute rest period between operations.
  • Blade Handling: Blades are sharp and must be handled with extreme caution, always holding them by the plastic hub or holder. Protective blade covers should be used for storage.
  • Capacity Limits: The processor bowl should not be overloaded; a maximum of 6 cups (1500 ml) of food is recommended per operation.
  • Food Preparation Tips:
    • For finer chopping, increase processing time. For coarser chopping, use the pulse button.
    • Pre-cut larger pieces to fit into the feed tube.
    • When chopping hard foods (e.g., meat, cheese), cut them into 1" / 2.4 cm cubes.
    • For shredding, place food horizontally into the feed tube; for slicing, place food vertically.

Maintenance Features

  • Cleaning:
    • The main unit, cord, and plug should never be immersed in water or any other liquid. The main unit should be cleaned with a damp cloth only.
    • Only the stainless steel blades are dishwasher safe.
    • All other parts (bowl, lid, attachments) should be cleaned in warm, soapy water using regular dishwashing liquid.
    • A spatula can be used to clean food spills from cracks and crevices of the base under the processor bowl.
  • Storage: Protective blade covers should be used when storing blades to prevent accidental injury.
  • Troubleshooting (Thermal Safety Device): If the appliance stops functioning due to overload, the re-setting procedure involves turning off the unit, unplugging it, removing and emptying the bowl, allowing it to cool (30 minutes to 2 hours), and then re-assembling and re-plugging before resuming use.

The EURO-PROX Quad Blade Food Processor is designed for convenience and safety, providing a reliable tool for various kitchen tasks with proper use and maintenance.
