Slicing Operation
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and
large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute. Foods such as carrots, cucumbers,
etc., should be cut flat at both ends to provide a consistent slice throughout the whole product.
• With foods like cabbage, lettuce or any product that has an undesirable core, the core should be
removed. Medium size cabbage or lettuce heads may be cut into thirds to fit in the feed chute.
Larger heads may need to be quartered.
• When food preparation is complete, fill the chosen feed chute, put the pusher in place, turn the
machine on and monitor the results.
• Never try to slice soft cheese. Use only hard cheese. Mozzarella may be sliced only when well chilled.
Pre-cut mozzarella must be 0.75" thick by 3.5" wide and 4" high (19 mm x 89 mm x 101 mm) for
the WFP11S, and 1" thick by 3.5" wide and 4" high (25.4 mm x 89 mm x 101 mm) for the WFP14S.
Place mozzarella in a freezer for 1 hour prior to slicing. Use PULSE/OFF lever only when slicing
cheese.
• When sliced food reaches nearly full capacity of the bowl, remove all sliced food from the bowl.
Grating Operation
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and
large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.
• Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of carrots will result in a long grated product,
while using the smaller chute and inserting the food vertically will give you a short grated product.
• Never try to grate soft cheese. Use only hard cheese. Mozzarella may be grated only when well
chilled. Pre-cut mozzarella must be 0.75" thick by 3.5" wide and 4" high (19 mm x 89 mm x 101
mm) for the WFP11S, and 1" thick by 3.5" wide and 4" high (25.4 mm x 89 mm x 101 mm) for the
WFP14S. Place mozzarella in a freezer for 1 hour prior to grating. Use PULSE/OFF lever only
when grating cheese.
• For grating cheese, it is recommended that a slight pulsating pressure be applied with the pusher,
alternating push/no push until the cheese block is completely grated. Cheese grating puts more
strain on the food processor motor than other tasks and may cause overheating if too much pressure
is applied in a continuous manner.
• You can typically expect to grate 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of cheese in about five (5) minutes. It is
recommended that you plan your food preparation in a manner that will allow for five minutes
of grating, followed by five minutes of food preparation while the machine rests. After fifteen
(15) minutes of continuous cheese grating, allow the machine to cool.
• When grated food reaches nearly full capacity of the bowl, remove all grated food from the bowl.
