GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, this appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cordset.
120 volt units are supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug (NEMA 5-15P), and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding- type outlet as shown in Figure 1.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained to enable a 2-slot wall outlet to be used with a 3-prong plug.
As shown in Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA. 220–240 volt “GS Safety Approved” units are supplied with a molded European grounding-type plug (CEE 7/7).

THE PARTS

The food processor consists of the following standard parts and accessories.

ASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS

We will use the terms bowl, work bowl and batch 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. USE CAUTION AS THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP.

• Place the base on a counter or table near an outlet. Position it so you look at the front of the unit and can see the control panel. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and that the control panel is in the OFF position (the red marker will be positioned over the OFF button).
  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 handles pointed outward to the left and right.

• Place the bowl on the base, fitting its central tube over the motor shaft on the base and placing the handles at about the 11 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions.

• Press the bowl down so the lower rim fits around the circular platform.

• Position the S-blade or accessory disc on the drive shaft. Be sure that the processing tool is completely seated before assembling the batch bowl. Note: Do not put any food into the bowl before placing the S-blade onto the shaft.

• Position the cover on the top of the batch bowl by matching up the two tabs with the two gaps in the rim. Once positioned turn the cover counterclockwise (while holding the bowl still) until the feed chute is centered with the left handle.

• Turn the bowl counterclockwise until the batch bowl is snapped into place.

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

Two pushers for feed tube
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 counterclockwise to lock it into place. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher into the feed tube opening.

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–
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE
DISASSEMBLING.

• Remove the batch bowl cover by turning clockwise until the tabs have cleared the rear upright.

• Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the small pusher from the large pusher by turning it counterclockwise.
  Disassembly when removing the S-blade:

• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from the work bowl. When the bowl handles are at about the 11 and 5 o’clock positions, 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. WHEN REMOVING THE S-BLADE USE CAUTION BECAUSE THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP.
  Disassembly when removing an accessory disc

• Do not remove the work bowl until the accessory disc is removed.

• To remove an accessory disc, place your fingers in the two holes on the blade designated for handling the blade, and lift the disc. It should remove cleanly.

• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from the work bowl. When the bowl handles are positioned at about the 11 and 5 o’clock positions you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.

ASSEMBLY OF CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS

• 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 panel. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and that the controls are in the OFF position (the red marker will be positioned over the OFF button). Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.
• Pick up the 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.
• 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 accessory disc by carefully using the holes designed for handling the blades or by holding the processing tool by the non-sharp area of the tool.
• Carefully guide the tool over the metal shaft so that it is properly seated on the shaft. The disc should easily drop into place, but if not, gently rotate it until you feel it drop into place. Do not put any food in the chute before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
• Place the cover on top of the chute with cover locking tab facing you. Twist the lock so that it holds the cover in place.
• Rotate the entire chute counterclockwise until it clicks into place and engages the rear interlock.
• The interlock tab on the cover will slide into the interlock slot on the cover 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 vegetables.
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.

DISASSEMBLY OF CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS– ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.

• Turn the cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the cover is disengaged from the safety interlock switch on the chute, and the tabs are clear of the tabs on the cover.
• When the chute is in the 4 o’clock position, you can remove the cover by twisting the locking mechanism so that it is horizontal. Next you may remove the cover of the chute.
• Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the small pusher from the large pusher by rotating it counterclockwise.
• To remove an accessory disc from the continuous feed chute, place fingers in each hole designated for handling the tool and lift it straight up. 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 chute 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 120 V, 60Hz.
The control panel provides you with three control functions:
ON
PULSE
OFF
How they work:
ON: Press the ON button to start the motor and maintain continuous operation.
PULSE: Turn on the motor, press the PULSE button, then release. The motor will run as long as you hold the button, it stops when you release it. Try it a few times.
OFF: When the motor is continuously running (by pressing the ON button) you can turn the motor off by pressing the OFF button.

HOW TO USE

Continuous use
For continuous processing, use the ON button.

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 button. The motor runs as long as you hold the button down; it stops when you release it.

• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the amount of time you hold the button. You control
  the frequency of pulses by the rate at which you press the button. 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 it up into smaller parts. Then proceed with continuous use after the pieces are broken up and easier to process.

• Always use the PULSE button 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 OFF button 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
The feed tube can be used for adding ingredients while the food processor is running. However, it is recommended that the food pushers be left in place whenever possible 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 used when a shorter grate or slice is desired as opposed to a longer grate or slice using the larger feed tube and pusher.

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 slice is desired. It is also used when processing large volumes of food or bulky food items such as potatoes or onions.

RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION
The food processor is equipped with a manual reset switch to protect the motor from overheating.
If your food processor stops running under heavy use, turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord. Empty the work bowl of all its contents and set aside food. Disassemble the batch bowl or continuous feed chute. Allow approximately 25 minutes for the motor to cool down. Once cooled, turn the motor base on its side and firmly press the red reset button located in the recess on the underside of the motor base. Set the motor base back
on its feet, reattach the bowl and cover, and plug in the cord. Resume normal operation.
If your food processor does not function properly following
this procedure, discontinue use and contact a Certified Waring Customer Service Center.

FOODS CAPACITY

Dry Capacity – 6 Quarts
Wet Capacity – 2.5 Quarts

S-Blade

The S-blade is the tool you will use to chop and purée, and to make pastry doughs, nut butters and bread crumbs. Waring’s exclusive mid blade is located above the 2 cutting blades on the S-blade assembly. The mid blade helps to direct food items from the higher area of the bowl back down into the cutting blades,
to provide more evenly processed food when the bowl is loaded with a large quantity of food.
Refer to the assembly instructions for the batch bowl. Attach the bowl to the motor base. Always put the S-blade into the bowl before adding ingredients. Handle it very carefully, as the blades are extremely sharp.

To chop raw meat: Cut the meat into pieces about 1 to 2 inches square. Season it as desired. Put up to 2.5 lbs. of meat into the bowl, attach the cover, and rotate bowl and cover to lock. Press the PULSE switch repeatedly, so you can periodically check the texture of the meat. The longer you process, the smoother the texture will be. As needed, press the OFF switch, remove the cover, and use a rubber spatula to scrape the meat from the sides of the bowl and back into the blade area. Replace the cover and continue pulsing until the desired texture is achieved.
To chop cooked meat: Proceed as for raw meat in the preceding paragraph, using up to 4 lbs. of cooked meat. You may achieve a range of textures suitable for hash, for sandwich fillings, or for stuffing green peppers, etc. You may chop potatoes, onions, or other ingredients with the meat, as desired.
To chop onions, mushrooms, parsley, and other soft vegetables: Cut large onions into quarters; cut other vegetables into 2- to 3- inch pieces. Put up to 16 cups of quartered onions in the bowl, or up to 8 cups of softer produce. Attach the cover, rotate bowl and cover to lock, and press the PULSE switch repeatedly for 3-4 seconds. Check the texture and resume pulsing until the desired texture is achieved. As needed, press the OFF sitch, remove the cover, and use a plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces of vegetable that adhere to the side of the bowl.
To chop harder vegetables like carrots, potatoes and raw turnips: Cut the vegetables in 2- to 3- inch pieces. Put up to 6 cups in the bowl, attach the cover, and rotate bowl and cover
to lock. After pressing the PULSE switch repeatedly for about 5 seconds, add up to another 6 cups through the feed tube, and then PULSE until desired texture is reached. Note: if you turn the machine on and let it run too long before stopping, the bottom blade ingredients will be uneven consistency. If you put all the pieces in at once before starting the motor, it might stall if a piece of vegetable gets wedged between the cutting blade and the side of the bowl. If that happens, press the OFF switch, unplug the unit, and remove the cover. Then carefully lift out the S-blade and remove contents of the bowl. Replace the S-blade in the bowl, put contents back in the bowl, and make sure that it is seated
on the very bottom of the bowl before replacing the cover and resuming chopping.
To chop or grate parmesan and other hard cheeses: Cut well-chilled cheese into 1- to 2- inch chunks. Put up to 2.5 lbs. of cheese chunks into the bowl, and process until the chunks are reduced to pea size. (You may add up to 1 lb. more through the feed tube after processing starts.) Then press the PULSE switch repeatedly until the cheese reaches the desired consistency.
*Note: Fine grating of hard cheeses is done most effectively by using the optional accesory CAF22, Fine Grate Plate. In the absence of this plate, the S-blade may be used.

Dicing Plates

Your FP2200 is equipped with two dicing plates, including a ½” grid and a ¾” grid. The dicing kit is available for use only with the continuous feed chute. Since the dicing process requires both horizontal slicing and vertical cutting, a slicing plate is required to be used in tandem with a dicing plate. The dimensions of the final diced product vary according to the combination of slicing plate and dicing plate chosen.
Refer to the assembly instructions for the continuous feed bowl. Position the bowl on the motor base, then attach the slinger, a dicing plate above the slinger, and the appropriate slicing plate on top of the dicing plate. Attach the cover and rotate the feed chute counterclockwise until it locks into position.
Load product into the feed tube using either the large or small pusher to push the product toward the dicing grid. Use moderate, steady pressure on the food pusher to push the items down when the plate starts turning. If the pressure is not steady, the cut items may vary in thickness. Avoid heavy pressure, which may deform the plate.
The smaller the dice desired, the more difficult the cut is to successfully attain. Soft or juicy produce with get mushy if the product is too small.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DICE CHEESES OR RAW MEATS. Damage could occur to the motor and/or the blades; such damage will not be covered under warranty.
A noticeable change in the diced produce will occur when the dicing grid needs cleaning. When that happens, press the OFF switch, unplug the unit, and remove the cover and slicing plate. Then use a stiff bristle brush to force through any produce that is stuck in the dicing grid. Reassemble the unit and continue dicing. When dicing different types of produce, follow the above procedure to clean out the dicing grid between operations.

Shredding
The FP2200 is equipped with the CAF20 – 3/16″ Shredding Plate. This plate is for processing cheeses such as mozzarella, jack, swiss, or other soft food items. It is also used for making cole slaw, shredded carrots or coconut, and potato strings or hash browns.

To shred vegetables: Choose from the following options, depending upon the quantity and/or shape of the items to be shredded and the desired length of shreds:
1 – With the motor off, load the feed tube with large quantities and/or items that you want to shred lengthwise. Position the food pusher at the top of the stack before pressing the ON switch. Or, insert the food pusher into the empty feed tube, remove the small pusher, and load smaller quantities, and/or items that you want to shred crosswise. Position the food pusher insert at the top of the stack before pressing the ON switch.
2 – For longer, lengthwise shreds, stack the vegetables horizontally. For shorter, crosswise shreds, insert the vegetables vertically.
To shred cheese for pizza, etc.: Cut well chilled cheese into pieces that will fit into the feed tube. Load the cheese into the feed tube, insert the food pusher and press the ON switch. Press down moderately hard on the pusher. If cheese is allowed to
“bounce”, the results will be small, irregular pieces.

Slicing
The FP2200 is equipped with the CAF12 – 1/8″ and CAF18 – 1/2″ slicing plates.
Choose from the following options, depending upon the quantity and/or shape of the items to be sliced and the desired length of slices:
1 – With the motor off, load the feed tube with large quantities and/or items that you want to slice lengthwise. Position the food pusher at the top of the stack before pressing the ON switch. Or, insert the pusher into the empty feed tube, remove the small pusher, and load with smaller quantities, and/or items that you want to slice crosswise. Position the food pusher insert at the top of the stack before pressing the ON switch. Use moderate, steady pressure on the food pusher (or the food pusher insert) to push the items down when the plate starts turning. If the pressure is not steady, the cut items may vary in thickness. Avoid heavy pressure, which may deform the plate.
2 – For lengthwise strips, stack the food items vertically. Vertical insertion may also be used to produce finely chopped celery, onions, etc. Quarter onions before loading the feed tube.
