USER MANUAL PowerPro FP2620S BLACK & DECKER

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions.

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

Avoid contacting moving parts.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual. ❑ The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

Keep hands and 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 scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the food processor is not running.

Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

Never feed food into chute by hand. Always use food pusher.

Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

Do not use appliance for other than intended use. ❑ Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used, but must be used only when the blender is not running. ❑ Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. ❑ To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly attached. IMPORTANTSAFEGUARDS SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS. POLARIZEDPLUG This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. TAMPER-RESISTANTSCREW

ELECTRICALCORD The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 15 amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6 amperes.) When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections. The maximum rating is based on the chopping blade; other attachments may draw significantly less power. Note:If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

Insert the food pusher into the central tube of the wide-mouth feed chute. Turn clockwise to lock in place. The pusher is used to guide foods through the feed chute and can be removed when adding liquid or additional foods while the processor is running. To remove, turn counterclockwise. CONTROLS The controls are located on the front of the base (F). Press PULSE, HIGH or LOW to select a function (see directions below). OFF/PULSE:

• Processor should be stored in OFF position and unplugged when not in use.

• Use PULSE for short processing tasks. This lets you control the size and uniformity of foods being chopped.

• The OFF/PULSE button must be pressed and held for the appliance to operate in PULSE mode. When released, the appliance will stop.

• The motor of the processor will run as long as the OFF/PULSE button is held down. Press the button and then release to allow the blades to stop running and the food to fall to the bottom of the workbowl.

• Pulsing gives better control when chopping, mincing, mixing and blending foods. You can control the size of the foods, from coarse to fine. HIGHandLOW: When either speed is selected, the processor will run continuously until the OFF/ PULSE button is pressed. HOWTOCHOPINTHEWORKBOWL: The chopping blade is used to coarsely or finely chop, mince, mix and puree foods to a smooth consistency.

1. Lock workbowl into position (see IllustrationsBandC).

2. Hold chopping blade by center shaft and insert onto center

post (G). Caution:Thebladeattachmentsareverysharp.Usecaution whenhandlingandstoring.

3. Place food in workbowl.

4. Place cover on workbowl and lock into place by rotating

clockwise (see IllustrationD).

5. Place the wide-mouth feed chute and food pusher in place.

Note: Process foods for no more than a few seconds at a time. Pulsing produces excellent results and offers greater control.

7. Food can be added while processor is running; remove food pusher and insert

food through the feed chute. Replace food pusher in chute. Important:Besurechoppingbladehascompletelystoppedspinningbefore removingcoverfromprocessor.

8. Press the OFF/PULSE button and allow blades to stop revolving before

removing cover. Twist cover toward to remove.

9. Unlock workbowl by turning it counterclockwise and lift off base.

Note: Remove bowl from appliance before removing blade to prevent food from leaking through the center opening of the bowl.

• The processor works very quickly.

• Watch carefully to avoid over-processing foods.

• The PULSE button offers the best control and results.

• For best results, process foods that are about the same size.

• Do not overload the bowl.

• Never walk away from the processor while it is on.

• Use hot but never boiling liquids.

• Do not process more than 3 cups liquid in the workbowl at one time.

• To process meat, use no more than 2 cups of ¾-inch cubes in the workbowl. Process using PULSE in 5 second intervals.

• The workbowl has a capacity of 10 cups.

• Insert a funnel into the feed chute when adding ingredients such as, oil, flour and sugar. USINGTHEDOUGHBLADE This blade makes preparing dough efficient and time-saving.

1. This blade does not extend to the outside rim of the workbowl, so it cannot

incorporate flour when very small amounts of flour are being processed.

2. Push dough blade down as far as it will go into workbowl.

3. Insert all the dry ingredients into the workbowl.

4. Place cover on workbowl. Add wide-mouth feed chute and food pusher.

5. Add liquids through the small feed chute with machine running.

• For best results do not prepare recipes using more than 3½ cups flour.

• Begin with 1 cup less than the maximum amount of flour and add additional flour once mixture is well blended.

• Pour liquid through food chute gradually.

• Knead dough no longer than 1 minute.

• Do not leave processor unattended during operation. HOWTOSLICEORSHRED

1. Lock workbowl into position (see IllustrationsBandC).

2. Place disc stem onto center post in workbowl.

3. Carefully place slice/shred disc on stem with appropriate side up (depending on

work to be done). Caution:Thebladeattachmentsareverysharp.Usecautionwhenhandlingand storing.

4. Place cover on workbowl and lock into place by rotating cover clockwise (see

5. Fill feed chute with food. Select regular opening or wide-mouth, depending

upon size of food to be processed. Position food pusher over food (H).

6. Select PULSE, LOW or HIGH; press firmly on food pusher to guide food

through processor, but do not force it. Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher only as a guide. Let the processor do the work.

7. When finished, press OFF/PULSE and wait for disc to stop rotating before

removing cover. Twist cover toward to remove.

8. Carefully remove slice/shred disc. Unlock workbowl by turning it

counterclockwise and lifting it off the base.

• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed chute.

• Always remove seeds and pits before processing.

• Select foods that are firm and not overripe.

• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.

• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.

• Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.

• Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding.

• After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove the slice/shred disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. Place the disc on top of the inverted workbowl cover. GENERALGUIDELINESFORUSINGTHEFOODPROCESSOR

1. Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry

2. Although plastic parts of the processor are dishwasher safe, wash them by

hand to retain their clear appearance.

3. To easily clean the workbowl, once empty add a drop of detergent and a little

hot water and pulse several times. Rinse before reusing.

4. The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than ½ to

5. To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the food

chute with the processor running.

6. Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and

slightly more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).

7. Do not process foods that are so frozen or so hard that the tip of a knife cannot

be inserted into the food.

8. When chopping dried fruits add a little flour to keep the pieces from sticking

9. Chill soft cheeses before slicing and shredding to prevent the cheese from

rolling into a ball on the disc.

10. When using the slicing / shredding disc do not let the food accumulate too

high; stop and empty the workbowl.

11. Do not use the processor to:

• Slice warm meat and hard cooked eggs; chill them first. HOWTOUSETHEBLENDER BLENDERJARASSEMBLY

1. Turn blender jar upside down and place flat on counter top or work surface.

2. Put the gasket on top of the blade assembly. Place the blade assembly with

gasket in bottom opening of the jar with blades down.3. Place jar base onto jar and rotate clockwise until it is tight (J).

4. Turn assembled jar right side up.

5. Place lid with lid cap in place on blender jar.

6. Place jar on power base with tab on base slightly to the

right of the locking mechanism and rotate clockwise until blender locks into place (K).

7. Blender is now ready for use.

1. Make sure appliance is OFF.

2. Place foods to be blended into jar.

3. Place lid on jar; make sure lid cap is in place.

4. Plug power cord into standard electrical outlet.

Note: When in use do not leave blender unattended. When using hard foods, such as ice, nuts and coffee beans, keep one hand on the lid to keep blender in place.

5. Select the speed that best suits your desired task.

Note: For blending tasks such as grinding coffee beans or nuts, or when blending thick mixtures, use the PULSE button for several seconds; then release. Releasing the PULSE button automatically turns the blender off.

6. Open the Lid Cap to add ingredients while the blender is

running, and drop ingredients through the opening (L). Note: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.

blender base to the right to release the locking mechanism (M).

9. Grasp the handle of the blender jar and lift up.

1. Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch for use in the blender.

2. When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick,

press the OFF/PULSE button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.

3. Blender should always have lid with lid cap in place when in use.

4. Do not place blender jar on base when motor is running.

5. The lid cap holds ¼ cup liquid and can be used when

adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (N).

6. When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding

coffee beans make sure blender jar is completely dry.

7. When using a PULSE function use short bursts. Allow the

blades to stop rotating between pulses.

8. Use the PULSE button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this

helps to produce a smoother texture.

9. It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase

to a higher speed, if necessary.

10. When blending hot ingredients always open the lid cap and

replace it ajar with the opened side away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use low speed. Do not blend more than 3 to 3½ cups at a time (P).

Refer service to qualified service personnel. Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening. CAREANDCLEANING Note: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.

• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.

• Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.

• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.

• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the processor’s appearance.

• If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot soapy water and rapidly raise and lower the cutting blade and discs up and down on the center shaft.

• If your sink has a sprayer nozzle, you will find it helpful in rinsing the blades.

• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only – not in or near utensil basket.

• Some staining of parts may occur. Make a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda / 1 tablespoon water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.

• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.

• Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.

• Remove the workbowl cover and blade. Invert an empty 35-mm film canister over the hole in the workbowl. Fill with hot, soapy water and allow to soak.

• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.

• If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.

PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE SOLUTION

Food is unevenly chopped. Workbowl is overlled. You may be running the bowl continuously in- stead of on PULSE. Food may be cut in random sizes. Smaller amounts will process more evenly. Use the PULSE button in 5-second or less incre- ments. Allow the blades to stop completely before pressing the PULSE but- ton again. Cut food in same size pieces before placing in processor. Liquid leaks from the bot- tom of the workbowl. Too much liquid in the workbowl. Process smaller amounts. When processing liquids, do not add more than 3 cups to workbowl. Do not remove the blade before removing work- bowl from processor when processing liquids. Sliced foods are uneven and slanted. The feed chute has not been well packed or uneven pressure has been applied to the food pusher during processing. Cut pieces in even lengths, just a little shorter than the length of the feed chute. Pack the chute carefully and main- tain even pressure on the food pusher as the food is being processed. Foods being sliced or shredded ll up on one side of the bowl. This is normal. Stop processing occasion- ally and either even out the food in the workbowl or move it to another bowl. When food accumulates close to the disc, empty the workbowl before continuing. TROUBLESHOOTINGFORFOODPROCESSOR20

PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE SOLUTION

Some pieces of food remain on top of the slice/shred disc. This is normal. Slice or shred those piec- es by hand or save for another use, like soups that will be pureed. Soft cheese collects on top of the slice/shred disc. The cheese was not cold enough. The pressure ex- erted on the pusher was too great. Be sure soft cheeses are well chilled or place in freezer until knife insert- ed into cheese penetrates about ½-inch. Remember food pusher is to be used as a guide; never exert hard pressure on the food pusher.

PROBLEM POSSIBLECAUSE SOLUTION
