Rotating Blade Hazard Always use food pusher. Keep fingers out of openings. Keep away from children. Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts. |
Before operating the Food Processor attachment, be sure the attachment assembly and discs are properly assembled and attached to the Stand Mixer (see "Assembling the Food Processor attachment" section). Place a bowl or container underneath the feed tube to catch all processed food.
The 2-in-1 food pusher features a smaller chute inside of a larger food pusher.
Use the small feed tube and pusher to process small or slender items, like single carrots or celery stalks.
To slice or shred small items, insert the 2-piece food pusher into the feed tube so that the smaller chute is oriented as shown.
Place food items in the smaller chute and use the small food pusher to process.
Rotating Blade Hazard Always use food pusher. Keep fingers out of openings. Keep away from children. Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts. |
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are small:
Position food vertically or horizontally in layers within the feed tube. Fill feed tube in order to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure with the food pusher. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food.
To slice cooked meat or poultry, such as pepperoni:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even pressure with the food pusher.
To shred spinach and other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up and stand up in feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.
To slice or shred fruits or vegetables that are long and relatively small in diameter, such as carrots and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed tube vertically and pack feed tube securely to keep food positioned properly. Process using even pressure with the food pusher. Or use the small feed tube in the two-piece food pusher. Position food vertically in the tube and use the small food pusher to process food.
To slice or shred fruits and vegetables that are round, such as onions, and apples:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in halves or quarters to fit feed tube. Position in feed tube. Process using even pressure with the food pusher.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For best results, thoroughly freeze soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, before processing. This may take several hours to achieve proper firmness for best processing.
DISCS USED:
