IMPORTANT:
Never try to slice soft cheese like
mozzarella or hard cheese like Parmesan. You may
damage the slicing disc or the food processor itself.
You can successfully shred most cheeses except soft
ones. The exception is mozzarella, which shreds well
if thoroughly chilled. Hard cheeses like Parmesan
shred well only at room temperature. Therefore, only
attempt to slice or shred mozzarella when well chilled
and Parmesan when at room temperature.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
Most problems with the food processor are easily
solved. Here are some possible problems and their
solutions.
Food is unevenly chopped
Either you are trying to process too much food at one
time, or you are running the machine continuously
instead of pulsing on and off until pieces of food are
no larger than 1/2-inch cubes.
Liquid leaks from bottom of bowl onto
motor base
Remove bowl from base as soon as you finish pro-
cessing. Do not remove metal blade first. When bowl
and blade are removed together, blade drops down
and forms an almost perfect seal against the bowl.
Liquid leaks out between bowl and cover
when machine is running
You added too much liquid. Never use more than
3 cups thin, 6 cups thick liquid.
The thicker the liquid, the more you can use. The
figures above are for thick mixtures like pancake
or cake batter.
Slices are uneven or slanted
Pack feed tube more carefully. Maintain even
pressure on pusher.
Carrots or similar food falls over in
feed tube
Cut food into enough short pieces of equal height to
fill feed tube. To slice one or two pieces, use small
feed tube. Cut carrots in half and insert one piece
point down and the other stem down.
Sliced or shredded food piles up on one
side of work bowl
This is normal. Remove disc occasionally and even
out processed food. When food gets close to bottom
of disc, empty work bowl.
A few pieces of food remain on top of
slicing or shredding disc
This is normal. In most cases, you can shred more of
the food by moving the large pusher up and down,
allowing the piece to be shredded, or by repositioning
the piece in the feed tube and reshredding it.
Soft cheese, like mozzarella, spreads out
and collects on top of shredding disc
The cheese was not cold enough, or the pressure on
the pusher was too great. To shred soft cheese, do
not push on the pusher but let the cheese go through
by itself. Tap on the pusher to guide it through.
SOME TECHNICAL DATA
The motor in your food processor operates on
standard line operating current. The appropriate
voltage and frequency for your machine are shown
on a label under the base.
An automatic, temperature-controlled circuit breaker
in the motor ensures complete protection against
motor burnout. If the processor runs for an exception-
ally long time when chopping, mixing or kneading a
thick or heavy mixture in successive batches, the
motor may overheat. If this happens, the processor
will stop. Turn it off and wait for the motor to cool off
before proceeding. It will usually cool off within 10
minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour.
Safety switches prevent the machine from operating
when the work bowl or the cover is not locked into
position. The motor stops within seconds when the
motor is turned off, and a fast-stop circuit stops it
instantly when the pusher assembly is unlocked.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Keep your Custom 14
Food Processor ready to use
on a kitchen counter. When it’s not being used, leave
it unplugged.
Store the blades and discs as you would sharp
knives – out of the reach of children. The Disc and
Blade Holders, optional accessories, offer safe and
convenient storage.
All parts except for the motor base are dishwasher
safe, and we recommend washing them in the
dishwasher. Insert the work bowl upside down.
Remember where you place sharp blades and discs,
and unload the dishwasher carefully.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover,
pusher assembly and blade or disc immediately
after use so food won’t dry on them. Openings at the
bottom of the large pusher provide drainage and
make cleaning easy. If food lodges in the pusher,
remove it by running water through or by using a
bottle brush.
If you wash 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 it rapidly up and down on
the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray attach-
ment is also effective. If necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl is made of Lexan
®
plastic, which is
shatter resistant and heat resistant. It should not be
placed in a microwave oven. The tube at the back
of the bowl houses the plastic rod that activates
the motor.
