Grinding Spices
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and
dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices, seeds or peppercorns to blender jar.
Blend on Food Processor speed for 30 to 35 seconds. Turn blender off.
Whipping Cream
Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy cream) at a time. Blend on mix,
and process for 45 to 60 seconds or until creamy and smooth. If making
sweetened cream, add sugar after 10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes
about 1 cup.
Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes

continuously on Food Processor speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn
blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes about ½ cup of
puréed tomatoes.

ATTACHMENT
Store the chopping blade and slicing/ shredding disc as you would
sharp knives – out of the reach of children.
The work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and slicing/shredding
disc are top-shelf dishwasher safe. When placing parts in your
dishwasher, insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you
place the sharp blade and disc, and be certain to unload the dishwasher
carefully.
The gearbox collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a damp
cloth. If you wash the 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 rapidly up and down on the center
shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective. If necessary, use
a brush.
The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.
