Food Processing Suggestions
• Check the food you are processing!
• Over processing is easily done, because the Food Processor works so fast.
Don’t hesitate to stop the unit and check the food you are processing. You can
always process the food a little longer if the food isn’t fine enough. For greater control,
you may with to process the food using a pulsing technique.
• When slicing or shredding, always use the Food Pusher. NEVER use your fingers
or other objects to push the food into the Feed Tube.
• Be careful not to drop spoons, spatulas or other utensils into the Feed Tube.
• If any items should become caught between the blade and the side of the container,
turn OFF the Food Processor and wait until the blade stops turning. Then, unplug
the unit, remove the cover and lift the blade to free the food item.
• Do not overload the machine. The OSKAR ® Food Processor processes ingredients
so quickly that even large quantities can be prepared in seconds if common sense
is used about the quantity of food put into the container at any time.
• We recommend processing no more then 3/4 to 1 cup of ingredients at a time.
• Never attempt to process hard ingredients that cannot be cut by a normal kitchen knife.
Things like coffee beans and ice will dull the blade and scratch the container;
shredding or slicing something very hard may damage the disc.
• Keep the Food Processor out of the reach of children.
• The Food Processor is not intended to be used as a blender.
• The Container should not be put in the microwave.
• Processing food such as carrots, may temporarily discolor parts of the Food Processor.
To remove discoloration, wash and dry parts thoroughly and allow to air dry overnight.
