IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including these:

Read all instructions.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
Your Waring® food processor is a piece of kitchen equipment and like all other kitchen equipment, extreme care must be used when operating it. Although training requirements are minimal, only responsible and prudent individuals should be allowed to operate this food processor.
To avoid injury, never place cutting blade or disc on base without first having put the bowl properly in place.
Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the food processor. A plastic scraper may be used, but must be used only when the food processor is not running.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base in water or other liquid.
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before removing food from workbowl, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord. Avoid contacting moving parts. Never feed food by hand when slicing or shredding.
Always use food pusher.
Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing the lid.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Waring may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
This product is UL listed for commercial use. Use it only for food preparation as described in this book.
Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
If the machine malfunctions for any reason, discard any food being processed at that time.

INTRODUCTION

The Waring® FP25 and FP25C commercial food processors are the most versatile food processors in their class. These professional machines take advantage of Waring’s forty years of commercial food service experience as well as thirty years of food processing experience by the same technical, engineering, manufacturing and development team that has made Waring the best known name in food processors.
These machines are both NSF and Commercial UL listed. The accessories are also NSF listed.
This instruction book describes two models. One model, the FP25, comes with a work bowl (also known as a batch bowl) and a cutter blade (or S-Blade) to CHOP, GRIND, PUREE, MIX or KNEAD in the batch bowl. WHAT MAKES THIS MACHINE UNIQUE IS THAT THE BATCH
BOWL ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO PROCESS IN THE BOWL, which means you can SHRED, GRATE, SLICE, or JULIENNE in the bowl WITHOUT NEED OF A CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE! The FP25 is shipped from our factory with a starter kit that includes a 3⁄16″ shredding disc, 5⁄32″slicing disc and 1⁄4″ x 1⁄4″ julienne disc.
The second model, the FP25C, comes with the same attachments as the FP25 but also INCLUDES a CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE to do large volume processing such as shredding, grating, slicing and julienne.
Many additional processing accessories are available for both models. More will be added.

Size, Power and Convenience

The horsepower rating of this food processor is more powerful than other food processors of comparable 2.5-quart size.
The wide feed tube is convenient for large-volume processing of large foods; the motor shaft is of stainless steel for durability; the housing, work bowl, chute, covers and pushers are all made from durable polycarbonate for heavy use conditions and easy cleanup. The clear bowl and processing covers are convenient for viewing food processing results, as well as extremely heavy duty for standing up to daily use.
Use the Waring food processor well and use it often. It will be an aid to making good food and plenty of it!

THE PARTS

The Waring® FP25 and FP25C food processors are compact, easy-to-use appliances. Completely assem-bled, the FP25 is only 19″ high (48.9cm) and stores conveniently when not in use. For more compact stor-age, the cover can be stored upside down with the feed tube in the bowl. When stored this way, the unit is only 143⁄4″ high (37.5 cm).

The Waring FP25 and FP25C food processors both consist of the following standard parts and accessories

Solid Polycarbonate Motor Base with vertical stainless steel shaft

ASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS FP25 & FP25C

We will use the terms Work Bowl, Batch Bowl and Cutter Bowl interchangeably throughout this instruction book. They mean the same thing.
Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to initial use.
Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so you look at the front of the unit and can see the control levers. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF lever has been pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.
Pick up the transparent work bowl, holding it in both hands with the handle toward you.
Place the bowl on the base, fitting its central tube over the motor shaft on the base and placing its handle slightly to the left of front-center (at about a 7-o’clock position).
Press the bowl down so the lower rim fits around the circular platform. Turn the bowl counterclockwise as far as it will go. It will lock into position with the tabs on the sides of the platform.
Read this if assembling the Batch Bowl parts to use S-Blade (Cutter Blade).
Pick up the metal blade, noting the outline on tip and the shape on the bottom. It matches the shape of the motor shaft.
Place the S-Blade over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the inside of the hub with the shaft. Press it down firmly, rotating the center hub until the blade assembly is fully seated. It should easily drop into place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. If it is not all the way down, it may become damaged.
Push only on the center section (plastic part); never touch the cutting blade as it is extremely sharp.
Check to be sure the blade is all the way down by turning it back and forth while lightly pushing it down.
If properly installed and fully seated, the lower blade will be positioned just above the inside bottom of the bowl.
If processing food with the S-Blade, now is the time to add the food or liquid to the work bowl.
Read this if assembling Batch Bowl parts to use Accessory Discs in Batch Bowl.
Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
Select the appropriate accessory disc: Grating disc, shredding disc, slicing disc, waved slicing disc, pulping disc, or julienne/French fry disc.
Each of these discs has a disc stem. The disc stem fits over the double flat in the food processor’s stainless steel motor shaft. The stem will also fit inside either the clear plastic tube inside the bowl, or the continuous feed chute and slinger.
After selecting the appropriate disc, pick up the disc, either using the finger holes on the disc surface, or holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands on the shredding/grating nodules.
Carefully guide the center disc hub over the metal shaft so the double flats on the shaft line up with the disc stem. Put the disc on top of the shaft and rotate until it drops down and into place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. Push on the outside rim only; never touch the
cutting blades. It should easily drop into place, but if not, then gently rock back and forth until you feel the disc drop into place.
Note: Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft. (Batch Bowl Assembly continued

(Batch Bowl Assembly continued)

Place the cover on the bowl, with the feed tube on the left, slightly toward the front. The locking tabs on the cover should be at the left of the locking tabs on the front rim of the work bowl.
Rotate the cover counterclockwise to lock it into place. When the cover is rotated into place, the safety interlock tab on the back rim of the cover will deactivate the safety interlock mechanism located in the safety interlock tower.
The cover must be in place correctly, with the cover’s safety interlock tab firmly engaged with the tower’s magnetic safety interlock mechanism, for the food processor to operate. This is an important safety feature.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD PROCESSOR WITHOUT THE COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.

Two Pushers for Feed Tube
Pick up the large food pusher and the small food pusher. The large pusher is for processing larger vegetables. The smaller pusher nests in the larger pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables, guiding long thin vegetables for more precise cuts, or for jobs like slicing pepperoni.

Large Pusher
Insert the small food pusher into the large food pusher opening. When it is fully inserted, rotate the small pusher clockwise to lock it into place. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher into the feed tube opening. Drop the pusher in to the feed tube gently.

Small Pusher
To use the small pusher, rotate it counterclockwise to disengage the locking feature. Now you can lift the small pusher up and out of the large pusher. When using the small pusher, the large pusher becomes the feed tube for the small pusher.

DISASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS FP25 & FP25C

ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

Turn the bowl cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the cover is disengaged from the magnetic safety interlock switch in the tower, and the tabs are clear of the groove in the tower. The bowl handle will be at a position between 7 o’clock and 9 o’clock. In this position you can lift the cover off the bowl.
Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the small pusher from the large pusher.

Disassembly when Removing the S-Blade

Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise (left) to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from the work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7 o’clock), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.
It is recommended that you remove the bowl from the motor base before you remove the S-Blade.
To remove the blade, keep a slight downward pressure on the top of the center hub of the blade while removing the bowl from the motor base. This will form a seal to prevent food particles from spilling into the center tube of the bowl, and onto the motor base or the work surface. Then remove the S-Blade from the bowl. Handle the S-Blade with caution; the blades are extremely sharp.

Disassembly when Removing an Accessory Disc

Do not remove the work bowl until the accessory disc is removed.
To remove an accessory disc, insert your thumb and forefinger into the 2 finger holes in the surface of the disc.
Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise (left) to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from the work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7 o’clock), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.

ASSEMBLY of CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS FP25C

Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the continuous feed chute, cover, slinger disc, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to initial use.
Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so that you are looking at the front of the unit and can see the control levers. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF lever has been pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.
Pick up the gray continuous feed chute, holding it in both hands with the chute pointing in the 4-o’clock position. Place the chute on the base, fitting its center opening over the motor shaft. Align the bowl lock-ing slots on the bottom of the chute to the left of the gray locking tabs on the side of the bowl platform (motor base).
Press the chute down so the round lower rim of the chute fits around the circular platform.
Place the Slinger (or ejector disc) in the bowl, sliding it over the metal motor shaft until it reaches the bottom of the chute.
Select the appropriate UL listed accessory disc: Grating disc, shredding disc, slicing disc, waved slicing disc, pulping disc, or julienne/French fry disc.
Each of these discs has a disc stem. The disc stem fits over the double flat in the food processor’s stainless steel motor shaft. The stem will fit inside either the clear plastic tube inside the bowl, or the continuous feed chute and slinger.
After selecting the appropriate disc, pick up the disc, either using the finger holes on the disc surface, or holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands on the shredding/grating nodules.
Carefully guide the disc stem over the metal shaft so the double flats on the shaft line up with the match-ing shape of the disc stem. It should easily drop into place, but if not, gently rotate until you feel the disc drop into place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go.
Push on the outside rim only; never touch the cutting blades.
Place the cover on top of the chute. Press down the cover until it is fully seated on all sides. Rotate the cover lock mechanism until it latches to the tab on the continuous feed chute. This will prevent the lid from rising up during processing.
Turn the chute and cover together, counterclockwise, until the dis-charge chute is in the 3-o’clock position and the locking tabs on the motor base are engaged in the bowl locking slots on the bowl bottom.
The interlock tab on the cover will simultaneously slide into the tower safety interlock slot and engage the magnetic safety interlock switch. The interlock switch prevents operation of the machine unless the cover is in the proper position. With this switch engaged, the food processor will operate, if the power is on and the controls are turned to ON or PULSE.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD PROCESSOR WITHOUT THE CHUTE AND COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.

Two Pushers for Feed Tube
Pick up the large food pusher and the small food pusher. The large pusher is for processing larger vegeta-bles. The smaller pusher nests in the larger pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables, guiding long thin vegetables for more precise cuts and for jobs like slicing pepperoni.

Large Pusher
Insert the small food pusher into the large food pusher opening. When it is fully inserted, rotate the small pusher clockwise to lock it into place. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher into the feed tube open-ing. Drop the pusher into the feed tube gently.

Small Pusher
To use the Small Pusher, rotate it counterclockwise to disengage the locking feature. Now you can lift the small pusher up and out of the large pusher. When using the small pusher, the large pusher now becomes the feed tube for the small pusher.
DISASSEMBLY of CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS

FP25C
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

Turn the chute and cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the cover is disengaged from the magnetic safety interlock switch in the tower, and the tabs are clear of the groove in the tower. When you rotate the chute you will also disengage the bowl’s locking slots from the locking tabs on the motor base platform.
When the chute is in the 4-o’clock position, you can lift the cover off the chute. Remember to rotate the cover lock to the open position before removing the cover.
Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the small pusher from the large pusher.
To remove an accessory disc from the continuous feed chute, insert your thumb and forefinger into the 2 finger holes in the surface of the disc, and lift it straight up and off the drive shaft. An alternative way to remove the disc is as follows: Place two fingers under each side of the disc and lift it straight up.
If you choose this method, be careful not to touch the blades as they are extremely sharp.
Remove the continuous feed chute from the motor base. If the chute is pointing in the 4-o’clock position, just lift it up. If not, rotate clockwise (left) to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform (motor base) from the slots on the bottom of the continuous feed chute.

OPERATING THE CONTROLS

Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be 110/120 volts, 60Hz.
There are two control levers located on the base of the machine. They are on the front and they give you fingertip control of processing. They are large enough to find easily in case of emergency.
The two controls are: ON

PULSE/OFF

How they work: ON: Press the lever down to start the motor.
PULSE/OFF: To turn the motor off, press the lever down and release.
To pulse the motor, press the PULSE/OFF lever down, then release. The motor will run as long as you hold the lever down; it stops when you release the lever. Try it a few times

How to Use

Continuous Use
For continuous processing, use the ON lever, which is located on the left.

Pulsing
The Pulsing function is intended for use with the S-Blade in the work bowl.

For rapid on-off operation, called pulsing, use the PULSE / OFF lever located on the right.
The motor runs as long as you hold the lever down; it stops when you release the lever.
You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the amount of time you hold the lever down. You control the frequency of pulses by the rate at which you press the lever. The interval between pulses must be long enough to allow everything in the work bowl to fall to the bottom.
Pulsing gives you precise control over chopping, mincing, blending and mixing. You can process food to any texture or consistency you want, from coarse to fine.
Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food a few times to break up into smaller parts. Then proceed with continuous use after the pieces are broken up and easier to process.
Always use the PULSE /OFF lever for pulsing. Never move the bowl (or chute) and cover assembly on or off to control pulses. It is less efficient and could damage the machine.

Turning Off
Always turn the machine off with the PULSE / OFF lever and wait until the blade or disc comes to a complete stop before removing the pusher assembly. The motor stops within seconds after the machine is turned off.

FOOD PREPARATION

Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds.
Cut vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc. into sizes that will fit into your choice of small feed tube or large feed tube for processing with accessory discs, or into sizes as required by your processing task.
Preparation for slicing: Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots, cucumbers and celery should be cut flat at both ends. This will provide a consistent slice for all food processed.

FOOD PUSHER SELECTION

S-Blade Usage
Pushers are not required when processing in the bottom of the work bowl with the S-Blade. However, the feed tube can be used for adding ingredients while the food processor is running. It is recommended that the food pushers be left in place to prevent splashing and avoid unwanted additions to the work bowl.
Small Pusher

This pusher with smaller chute is typically used when inserting vegetables vertically for smaller cuts. It should be used when slicing foods such as carrots, celery, pepperoni, etc. when a consistent, flat result is desired.
This pusher is also desired when a shorter grate or shred is desired as opposed to a longer shred using the larger feed tube and pusher.
The small pusher can be used with the julienne blade for vertical insertions that result in finely chopped products such as onions or celery.

Large Pusher

This pusher with larger chute is typically used when inserting vegetables horizontally for longer cuts.
This pusher is used when a longer grate or shred is desired, such as long shreds or juliennes of peppers or carrots. It is also used when processing large volumes of food or bulky food items such as potatoes or onions.
Special Note: The continuous feed bowl and the batch bowl (work bowl) use the same food pushers. They are interchangeable.

USE INSTRUCTIONS for S-BLADE (Cutter Blade) in the BATCH BOWL FP25 &

FP25C

The S-Blade (Cutter Blade) is designed for chopping, grinding, puréeing, blending, mixing, and kneading of ingredients required in almost all recipes.
Assemble the bowl and blade as instructed in the section titled “Assembly of Batch Bowl Parts,” (see page 8).

Chopping and Mincing

To chop or mince in the bowl, fill the bowl with food product up to the top of the bowl’s inner tube, or up to 3⁄4 full.
To chop or mince most effectively, you must quickly start and stop the blades to control the consistency of the chop by pulsing. Use the Pulse lever to accomplish this as described under pulsing. Continue pulsing until the desired consistency has been reached.
If chopped foods are processed continuously, the food will be processed unevenly, i.e., food on the bottom will be finely chopped and food on the top will be more coarse.

Chopping Meat
Place up to 2.5 pounds of approximately 2-inch squares of meat in the bowl and pulse the machine with the pulse lever until the desired consistency has been reached. If the machine has trouble starting, reduce the amount of meat in the bowl and start again.

Chopping Hard Cheese
Place up to 2 pounds of uniform 1-inch cubes of chilled cheese into the bowl and pulse the machine with the pulse lever. For powdered cheese, pulse until the cheese is in small chunks (pea size), then allow the processor to run continuously until you have fine powder. Cheese with high moisture content can ball up if processed too long.

Chop Onions, Celery, Cabbage, etc.
Cut onions in quarters, and other vegetables into 2- or 3-inch cubes. Place the cubed food into the work bowl up to the top of the bowl’s inner tube, and pulse until you reach the desired consistency.
Note: If you let the blade run too long, the ingredients on the bottom will become puréed or give you uneven results.

Purée or Mix
To purée tomatoes, vegetables and fruits, make sauces, or mix and blend ingredients, place the ingredients into the bowl, turn the unit on and allow it to run continuously until you reach the desired consistency. Do not let the machine run unattended. If your recipe exceeds more than 1.8 quarts of wet ingredients, please process it in several batches.

Turn the Machine OFF with the OFF lever.

Always switch the food processor off by pressing and releasing the PULSE/OFF lever. This assures that the power is not supplied to the motor.
Always switch the food processor off and wait until rotation stops before removing the cover.
While the safety interlock switch will turn the machine off if the cover is rotated clockwise, or the cover is removed while running, this should not be the means of ON/OFF operation.
Before rotating the lid, always make sure the machine is off by pressing the PULSE/OFF lever as a safety precaution, in the event that the machine was not turned off properly.
When processing, it is recommended that the machine be operated on a 50% duty cycle, such as
5 minutes on/5 minutes off. This can be accomplished by processing for 5 minutes, then doing
5 minutes of food preparation. Please remember to turn off the machine when not in use.

USE INSTRUCTIONS for ACCESSORY DISCS in the CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE FP25 &

FP25C

Assemble the bowl and accessory disc as instructed in the section titled, “Assembly of Batch Bowl Parts,” (see page 8). Or, assemble the continuous feed chute and accessory disc as instructed in the section titled “Assembly of Continuous Feed Chute Parts,” (see page 11).
If required by your processing task, either:
Stack the feed tube with food and position the large food pusher at the top of the stack,or
Place the large food pusher into the feed tube and remove the small feed pusher to use the smaller feed chute located inside the large food pusher. This is described above (see page 12). Stack food items in the small food chute. Position small food pusher at the top of the stack.
Be sure the unit is off by pushing and releasing the PULSE/OFF lever.
Insert the power cord plug into a properly grounded outlet of the correct voltage.
Use the ON switch for continuous processing, or the PULSE/OFF lever for pulsing /on-off operation.
Feed the items to be processed at a steady rate into the feed tube, using the food pusher to push the food down. The same technique is used whether you choose to use the large pusher or the small pusher. Avoid excessive force when using either one of the food pushers. Too much force may cause food items to jam in the feed tube or damage the machine. ALWAYS USE THE LARGE FOOD PUSHER TO PUSH FOOD ITEMS DOWN INTO THE LARGE FEED TUBE. IN THE SAME WAY, ALWAYS USE THE SMALL FOOD PUSHER TO PUSH FOOD ITEMS DOWN INTO THE SMALL FEED TUBE. NEVER PUT FINGERS, SPATULAS, OR OTHER UTENSILS INTO THE LARGE FEED TUBE OR THE SMALL FEED TUBE CHANNEL.
Never use the small food pusher in the large feed tube.
When the bowl is full and / or you have finished your processing task with the bowl or continuous feed chute, press the PULSE / OFF lever and let the processing disc come to a complete stop. Unplug the unit. NEVER STOP THE FOOD PROCESSOR BY REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE OUTLET OR BY REMOVING THE COVER. ALWAYS STOP THE UNIT BY PRESSING THE PULSE/OFF LEVER. Follow disassembly instructions for the bowl and continuous feed chute as appropriate. These are described in the section titled “Disassembly of Batch Bowl Parts,” (see page 10), or the section titled “Disassembly of Continuous Feed Chute Parts,” (see page 12).

When processing, it is recommended that the machine be operated on a 50% duty cycle, such as 5 minutes on / 5 minutes off. This can be accomplished by processing for 5 minutes, then doing 5 minutes of food preparation. Please remember to turn off the machine when not in use.

ACCESSORY DISC SELECTION AND USE

The FP25 and FP25C food processor disc accessories are made to perform a large variety of food process-ing tasks: slicing, waved slicing, grating, shredding, French fry and julienne cuts. As of this printing there are a total of 21 accessory discs available for these functions. The 21 consist of the following:

8 slicing discs
1 waved slicing disc
6 julienne/FF discs

pulping disc
grating discs
shredding discs

Sizes are listed on page 24 under “Processing Tools”. Three (3) Accessory Discs are included with both the FP25 and FP25C food processors. As of this printing they are:

BFP13 – 4 mm, 5⁄32″ Slicing Disc
BFP33 – 5 mm, 3⁄16″ Shredding Disc
BFP29 – 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm, 1⁄4″ x 1⁄4″ Julienne Disc
Below are some uses and operation tips for your accessory discs.

Slicing Discs

Waring Size Size Waring Size Size
Item No. Millimeters Inches Item No. Millimeters Inches
BFP10 0.8 mm 1⁄32″ BFP14 5 mm 3⁄16″
BFP11 2 mm 5⁄64″ BFP15 6.5 mm 1⁄4″
BFP12 3 mm 1⁄8″ BFP31 8 mm 5⁄16″
BFP13 4 mm 5⁄32″ BFP32 10 mm 3⁄8″
BFP16 Waved 1.5 mm 1⁄16″

BFP10 (1⁄32″) is used for preparing very fine cuts. It can be used for preparation of Japanese-style vegetables with foods placed in the pusher horizontally to get a long thin cut. This tool can also be used for decorative cuts.
BFP11 (5⁄64″) is used to slice cucumbers, carrots, celery and other vegetables for salads and salad bars.
BFP13 (5⁄32″) is a popular multiuse size for slicing. Ideal for salad bars, cucumber slices, carrot coins, and sliced lettuce for deli sandwiches and tacos. This slicing disc can also be used to produce half-slices of tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions.
BFP15 (1⁄4″). This size and larger sizes are ideal for making thicker slices for soups and stews.
BFP16 (1⁄16″ Waved). This waved slicing disc is great for making decorative thin slices of carrots, celery, and other vegetables. Ruffled potato slices can also be produced with this accessory.

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 cab-bage, lettuce or any product that has an undesirable core, the core should be removed. Medium size cab-bage or lettuce heads may be cut into thirds to fit in the feed chute. Larger heads may need to be quar-tered. When food preparation is complete, fill the chosen feed chute, put the pusher in place, turn the machine on and monitor the results.

Pulping/Grating/Shredding Discs

BFP19 (1⁄64″ Fine Grate). Use this disc for extra fine grating of hard cheeses like Romano and Parmesan. Also use this disc for cracker or cookie crumbs or dried bread crumbs. Caution: Do not use this disc for soft cheeses or moist breads, as this will clog the disc and give poor results.
BFP21 (5⁄64″) is a larger grating disc for medium and coarse grating. This is appropriate for processing grated carrots, cheese and other foods. Select based on personal choice and specific applications for grating cheese, carrots, etc.
BFP22 (5⁄32″), BFP23 (1⁄4″), BFP24 (5⁄16″) BFP33 (5⁄16″) are popular-size shredding discs. These discs have a larger, better formed result with foods than grating patterns. They should be selected based on personal choice and specific applications for shredding cheese (for pizza), or carrots, cabbage, and other vegetables for preparing salads and side dishes.

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.
For cheese grating or shredding it is recommended that the cheese be chilled first; otherwise it may become gummy. A fine coating of cornstarch applied to the cheese can aid in keeping food separated; cornstarch is tasteless and not visible.
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 ten (10) pounds 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 5 minutes of food preparation while the machine rests. After fifteen (15) minutes of continuous cheese grating, allow the machine to cool.

FP25 and FP25C food processors come with a selection of six (6) different julienne plates with sizes up to 5⁄16″ x 5⁄16″. The BFP29 is 1⁄4″ x 1⁄4″ square cut for making French fry cuts on potatoes, carrots, or other vegetables such as zucchini squash. For larger cuts, use the BFP30, which is 5⁄16″ x 5⁄16″.

These julienne accessories can also chop or mince products such as onions or bell peppers that are quartered and gravity-fed through the larger feed tube. Foods including carrots and celery can be chopped with these discs by inserting them into the feed tube vertically.
Tomatoes can be diced with these 6.5mm, 8mm, and 10mm square julienne discs by quartering the tomato and processing using this plate. It is recommended that you use firm tomatoes.
These and other julienne discs can be used to produce squash sticks, chopped celery, finely chopped onions and julienne celery root.
Meats and cheeses must not be processed with a julienne accessory. Damage may result.

Julienne 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.
If a long horizontal cut is desired, for example with squash sticks, the food must be placed in the feed chute horizontally, or on its side. For finely chopped food results, for example with chopped celery or finely chopped onions, you must insert the vegetables vertically, or standing up. For a very fine chop of onions, quarter the onion and gravity-feed it through the chute.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This section describes potential problems and the correct solutions for them. Problems that cannot be solved with the guidelines listed below should be referred to one of the Waring Authorized Service Centers for assistance. A listing of authorized service agencies is supplied with each Waring food processor.

Unit does not start when assembled correctly

Pull the plug and try plugging into another outlet.
Turn ON lever to ON.
Make sure the bowl is properly positioned on the motor base, that the bowl or chute cover is on properly, and that the safety interlock tab on the cover has properly engaged the safety interlock switch in the tower.

Unit stops running during processing

Turn unit OFF.
Remove bowl attachment.
Remove food being processed from inside the bowl.
Reassemble unit, and run first with the bowl empty, then add food back into the bowl and try again.

Unit will not come up to full speed

Bowl is overloaded – remove food being processed and reload using smaller quantities.

If unit does not operate after you have followed the above, and have tried the Safety Reset Switch

Check outlet to be sure there is current.
Check to be sure circuit breaker is ON.
Check to be sure the fuse is not blown if there are fuses on this circuit.
Call local Waring service agency.

If unit starts to spark or smoke

Turn unit off, unplug it, and call local factory-authorized service agency.

If food processor makes a grinding noise

Turn unit off, unplug, disassemble, and check bowl and blade to see if they have been rubbing together.
If bowl and blade are rubbing, call your authorized Waring service agency.

SAFETY RESET SWITCH

The SAFETY RESET SWITCH is provided for your convenience and to extend the life of your Waring food processor. It is located on the back of your machine, on the safety interlock tower, protected by a round finger hole. The switch button is red.
If the machine should become jammed or somehow overloaded, the safety-reset switch has a mechanism that will shut down the motor to prevent overheating and to prevent damage to the motor.

How it works
If the machine becomes overloaded, the shaft and blade will stop turning, but you will hear a buzzing noise. After a few seconds you will hear a click, and the buzzing noise will stop. This is the safety reset switch shutting off the motor.

Possible causes of a motor shutdown

Food becoming jammed between the processing plate and the bowl or cover.
An unusually heavy load being processed for a lengthy period of time.

To restart the motor, follow these steps

Turn the machine OFF by pressing the PULSE/OFF lever.
Unplug the machine.
Clear the batch processing bowl (or continuous feed chute) of the food that caused the jamming condition. It may be that you only need to remove some of the food.
Wait for at least 1 minute to allow the motor to cool.
Plug the unit into the appropriate electrical outlet.
Press the red safety reset switch located on the back of the safety interlock tower.
Press down the ON lever or the PULSE lever to restart the machine. We suggest pulsing to start the pro-cessing, as this will put less strain on the motor.
If the machine does not start, wait for another minute and repeat this procedure.

CLEANING

Clean the food processor and accessories prior to initial use and after each use. Do not use harsh abrasive-type cleaners on any part of the food processor. Cleaning must follow NSF guidelines.
Wash the motor shaft with a small brush.
Wash, rinse, sanitize and dry the bowl, continuous feed chute, covers, small food pusher, large food pusher, accessory discs, S-blades and ejector /slinger disc prior to initial use, and after use, unless they will be used again immediately. These items are all dishwasher-safe, and may be cleaned and rinsed in the dishwasher instead of manually in the sink.

Wash and rinse all of the above items after each use.

Some of the discs and blades have aluminum components. Whether cleaning them manually or in a dishwasher, be sure to use a detergent that is safe for use with soft metals. Other types of cleaning detergents can cause corrosion of soft metals.
A stiff bristle brush will help to knock food particles out of the crevices of the discs and blades before washing. Handle very carefully as the blades are sharp.
Please note that all accessory discs and blades may be disassembled with a screwdriver for thorough cleaning. This includes the cutting blades on the center hub of the S-blade. Handle the sharp S-blade with care.
For manual cleaning, it is recommended that you use washing solutions based on non-sudsing detergents, and chlorine-based sanitizing solutions that have a minimum chlorine concentration of 100 PPM.

The following washing, rinsing, and sanitizing solutions, or their equivalents, may be used
