21Helpful Hints1. When cutting and packing fooditems in the Ultra Wide Mouth™feed tube, do not exceed themaximum fill line. This will permitthe pusher to engage the interlockand the unit to operate.2. Never process any food that is sohard or firmly frozen that it cannotbe pierced with the tip of a sharpknife. Hard food can cause damageto the blade or motor. If a piece ofhard food, such as carrot, becomeswedged or stuck on the blade, stopthe processor and remove theblade. Carefully remove food fromthe blade.3. Do not overfill work bowl or minibowl. For thin mixtures, fill workbowl up to 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 full. For thickermixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4full. For liquids, fill up to themaximum level as described onpage 13. When chopping, thework bowl should be no morethan 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the minibowl for up to 1 cup (235 ml) ofliquid or 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) solids.4. Position slicing discs so the cuttingsurface is just to the right of thefeed tube. This allows the blade afull rotation before contactingthe food.5. To capitalize on the speed of theprocessor, drop ingredients to bechopped through the small feedtube while the processor is running.6. Different foods require varyingdegrees of pressure for bestshredding and slicing results. Ingeneral, use light pressure for soft,delicate foods (strawberries,tomatoes, etc.), moderate pressurefor medium foods (zucchini,potatoes, etc.), and firmerpressure for harder foods (carrots,apples, hard cheeses, partiallyfrozen meats, etc.).7. Soft and medium-hard cheesemay spread out or roll up on theshredding disc. To avoid this,shred only well-chilled cheese.8. Sometimes slenderfoods, such ascarrots or celery,fall over in thefeed tube,resulting in anuneven slice. Tominimize this, cut food in severalpieces and pack the feed tubewith the food. For processingsmall or slender items, the smallfeed tube in the 2-piece foodpusher will prove especiallyconvenient.9. When preparing a cake or cookiebatter or quick bread, use themultipurpose blade to cream fatand sugar first. Add dryingredients last. Place nuts andfruit on top of flour mixture toprevent overchopping. Processnuts and fruits, using shortpulses, until blended with otheringredients. Do not overprocess.10. When shredded or sliced foodpiles up on one side of the bowl,stop the processor and redistributethe food using a spatula.11. When food quantity reaches thebottom of a slicing or shreddingdisc, remove the food.12. A few larger pieces of food mayremain on top of the disc afterslicing or shredding. If desired, cutthese by hand and add to mixture.13. Organize processing tasks tominimize bowl cleanup. Processdry or firm ingredients beforeliquid ingredients.14. To clean ingredients from themultipurpose blade easily, justempty the work bowl, replace thelid, and pulse 1 to 2 seconds tospin the blade clean.
