Frequently Asked Questions - FP41 Hobart

How to install the FP41 food processor?

Lift the arm, place the bowl aligning the locating pins into the grooves, turn it counterclockwise to lock. Place the blade on the shaft, the scraper with the splash guard at 6 o'clock, then the lid. Lower the arm onto the center of the lid.

How to use the cutting blade and whisk blade?

Use the cutting blade to chop, cut, grind and knead. Use the whisk blade (optional) to mix sauces, mayonnaises and soups. If the whisk blade is too slow, try the cutting blade.

How to clean the appliance?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Do not use steel wool or sharp objects. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

What to do if the machine does not start?

Check that the bowl is correctly installed with the pins in the grooves and locked. Make sure the arm is properly lowered onto the center of the lid. Also check the fuse/circuit breaker and that the appliance is plugged in.

How to remove the bowl?

Leave the blade in the bowl to avoid leaks. Slightly lift the arm and pivot it backward. Turn the bowl clockwise to unlock, then lift it out.

What is the scraper for?

The scraper removes food stuck to the bowl walls and brings it back to the blade. It has four blades; turn the handle a quarter turn to scrape the entire surface.

How to use the Pulse setting?

The Pulse setting runs the machine as long as the button is pressed. Use it several times at the beginning of processing to cut food into small pieces, then switch to continuous mode.

What foods can be chopped?

The FP41 can chop meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, onions, carrots, cheese, nuts, almonds, and make breadcrumbs. Cut hard foods into pieces of 2.5 cm maximum.

What is the maximum processing capacity?

Maximum capacity for a single batch: 2 lb onions/carrots (20 sec), 2 lb fresh meat (30 sec), 3 lb dough (1 min). See the capacity chart for more details.

How to maintain the appliance?

Inspect weekly: check that the machine stops within 4 seconds if the arm is lifted, that it does not start without the bowl, that the cord is intact and the blades are sharp. If there is a problem, contact Hobart service.

Prior to installing the food processor, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate, which is located on the back of the machine.

Check that the cutting tools are in good condition and are sharp.

LOCATION

Your food processor should be operated on a suitable counter height surface.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING The power supply cord on this machine is provided with a three-prong grounding plug. The outlet to which this plug is connected must be properly grounded. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician.

Rated voltage of Model FP41 is 120/60/1.

SETTING UP

1. Lift the arm up and then rotate it as far back as it will go.
2. Place the bowl on the machine so that the locating pins of the bowl are inserted into the grooves in the bowl recess on top of the machine, push bowl all the way down to the base and rotate counterclockwise slightly to lock in position.
3. Place the cut knife (or optional whip knife) on the drive shaft at the center of the bowl and make sure that the knife drops all the way down to the bottom of the bowl.
4. Place the scraper in the bowl with its splash guard positioned at 6 o'clock.
5. Place the bowl cover on the bowl with the arrow on the bowl cover pointing toward the handle of the scraper, and press the bowl cover down gently until the scraper and bowl cover snap together.
6. Lift the arm, and at the same time, swing it over the bowl cover. Lower the arm over the center of the bowl cover to secure it in position.

The machine will not operate unless the bowl and bowl cover are correctly positioned and the arm is in position above the center of the bowl cover.

CHECK MACHINE

Once the machine is set up, check to ensure that:

1. Cutting blades stop turning within 4 seconds when the arm is swung back away from the center of the bowl cover.

2. The machine cannot be started with the bowl and bowl cover removed but with the arm swung into position above the center of the drive shaft.

If either of these conditions occur, contact your local Hobart Service Office.

OPERATION

WARNING Rotating knives inside. Keep hands out.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using for the first time, wash all removable parts of the food processor in warm soapy water. The cutting blade is very sharp; be very careful when cleaning the cutting blade. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

USE OF CUT OR WHIP KNIFE

The cut knife and whip knife are manufactured using high quality knife steel to give a keen cutting edge and effective cutting action. Never leave this type of knife in a wet condition when not in use and never place it on a stainless steel worktop.

Use the cut knife when meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, etc., are to be cut, pulverized and blended. Use the cut knife also for grinding nuts and bread crumbs, and kneading/mixing dough.

Use the whip knife when the product(s) are to be blended only, for example: sauces, aromatic butter, mayonnaise and soups. If the action of the whip knife is sluggish because of the consistency of the product, try using the cut knife instead.

SCRAPER

The scraper will remove product (e.g., minced meat) which has stuck to the sides of the bowl and return it to the cutting zone during processing. It can also be used to stir/mix products which do not stick to the sides. The scraper has four blades so it is only necessary to move it through a quarter turn to scrape the entire internal surface of the bowl. To move the scraper, grasp the handle and rotate it either clockwise or counterclockwise until it reaches the stop. The scraper should be fitted at all times since the blades of the scraper guide the product toward the cut knife even when the scraper is not activated.

FEED TUBE

A splashguard is fitted to the scraper. Rotate the scraper in order to open or close the feed tube. The machine will operate with the feed tube open.

PREPARING THE PRODUCT

For the best and most consistent results, cut firm products such as meat and cheese into pieces of equal size no larger than 1" cube.

When processing dry product (e.g. bread crumbs), place product into the bowl first, turn the machine on, then add liquid ingredients.

When pureeing, be sure to rotate scraper to get all liquid off the sides of the bowl and back into the cutting zone.

OPERATING THE FOOD PROCESSOR

1. Assemble components as described in Steps 1-4 in the SETTING UP section of this manual.
2. Add product. Refer to CAPACITY CHART in this manual.
3. Follow Steps 5 and 6 in the SETTING UP section of this manual.
4. For best results, use the pulse setting a few times at the beginning of the processing operation to cut product into smaller pieces. Then set the indicator knob to the desired setting.

REMOVING BOWL

Always leave the cut/whip knife in the bowl when moving it so that the contents do not leak out through the tube in the center of the bowl. To remove bowl, lift the arm slightly and rotate it to the rear to clear the bowl. Rotate bowl slightly clockwise to unlock bowl locating pins from base, and lift bowl from machine.

CAPACITY CHART

The maximum quantity that can be processed at one time and the length of time required for the processing are dependent on the consistency of the product and the kind of result desired. Shorter processing times give a coarser end result, and longer processing times a finer one.

The chart below shows the maximum quantity that can be processed at one time and the approximate processing time for various types of product.

CLEANING

⚠ WARNING Turn the machine off and unplug the electrical cord before cleaning.

Always clean the machine immediately after use. If leftovers are allowed to dry on the machine, cleaning becomes difficult.

Never use steel wool or sharp objects during cleaning of the machine; the surfaces can be scratched, making subsequent cleaning difficult.

Never use high pressure hosing equipment for cleaning, since it can result in electrical or mechanical damage.

Dismantle all removable parts from the machine and wash them in warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.

MAINTENANCE

⚠ WARNING Turn the machine off and unplug the electrical cord before doing any maintenance.

Inspect the machine weekly to ensure that it is in proper working order. Fit the cut knife or whip knife and then check the following:

1. The machine stops within 4 seconds after the arm has been swung away from the center of the bowl cover.
2. The machine cannot be started with the bowl removed and the arm swung into position above the center of the bowl cover.
3. Unplug the power supply cord and check to make sure that it is in good condition with no cracks or cuts.
4. The blades of the cut knife are in good condition and have a sharp cutting edge.

If a problem occurs, contact your local Hobart Service Office before operating the machine.
