SHREDDING DISC 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.
•  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 disc 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 
chute and process using even pressure. 
•   To slice uncooked meat, cut or roll food to fit the feed chute. 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.

• To slice cooked meat, including salami and pepperoni, food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to 
fit feed chute and process food using firm, even pressure. 
•  Remove the slicing/shredding disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. 
USING THE S BLADE IN THE LARGE WORKBOWL

and empty workbowl. To remove dough blade from shaft, 
turn blade counterclockwise and lift off the shaft (O). 
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 the opening in the large food pusher 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.
