Before Your First Use
Using Your Blender cont.
Wash all parts, except Motor Housing or Cord, in warm soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Never immerse Motor Housing or Cord in water as this
will damage the unit.
•
Note: the Blender works very fast.
In a few seconds the ingredients will
be processed. The consistency of the
ingredients increases with longer
blend times.
Using Your Blender
7
If necessary, you can add ingredients
through the cover by removing the center
cap of the Lid: turn the Filler Cap counter-
clockwise and remove. If the pieces are too
large for the filling opening then switch off
the Blender, remove the Lid, and add the
ingredients. Put the Lid back on the Jug
before switching the Blender on again.
Figure 4

Once you have processed the required
quantity of ingredients
you can switch the appliance off (press the
button with the lit indicator light).
Figure 5
1
Place the appliance on a flat, stable, level
surface where it cannot fall.
Remove the Jug from the Motor Housing by
turning it counter clockwise 90 degrees and
lifting straight up.

Automatic Frozen Drink Mode
•
Your Blender is equipped with a special
electronic function to make frozen drinks.
Press the II/FROZEN DRINK button for
more than 3 seconds to use this function.
The Blender will automatically pulse on and
off for approximately 22 seconds. This
allows the ice cubes to fall back onto the
chopping blades during processing, giving
you an even, smooth texture. You can stop
the automatic function at any time once
your drink has reached the desired consis-
tency by simply pressing the II/FROZEN
DRINK button a second time.
3
Cut the ingredients into pieces that fit in the
Jug. Do not cut into pieces that are too
large, since they will need to be small
enough to fall to the base of the Jug.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
4
Place the Lid onto the Jug to prevent
splashing. The cutaway portion of the Lid
will go over the pour spout side of the
Blender Jug (see Figure 3). Place the Lid on
the Jar at a slight angle and turn clockwise
to lock into place (see Figures 4 and 5 nest
page).

Blender Helpful Hints
Using Your Food Processor
with Chopping Blade
•
Do not place any utensil (spatula, fork, etc.) in the Blender container
while the Blender is operating. If you need to scrape ingredients
from the sides of the jar, first stop the Blender and wait for the
blades to completely stop moving.
•
•
When blending solid foods, always cut them into no larger than
1-inch pieces before placing them into the jar. Blend no more than
1/2 cup of these foods at a time for uniform blending.
Remember that ice cubes vary in size and shape. Smaller ice cubes
can be chopped or crushed faster than larger ones. To add ice cubes
to mixtures while the Blender is operating remove the Filler Cap and
drop through the opening. Never attempt to crush ice utilizing your
Food Processor Bowl. As a general rule, add no more than 3 cups of
ice to 4 cups of liquid.
1
Place the appliance on a flat, stable, level
surface where it cannot fall.
•
If too much food is blended at one time, the motor may stall. If this
happens, stop the Blender, turn switch off, unplug from wall outlet,
remove a portion of the food and repeat the blending process.
2
Place the Mixing Bowl on the Motor Housing
with the handle at a 90 degree angle (see
Figure 6). Rotate the Mixing Bowl clockwise
as far as possible until you hear it click into
place (See Figure 7).
•
•
Always add liquid ingredients first, followed by solid ingredients.
Figure 6
Figure 7
Figure 8

Homemade Potato Chips
Ricotta Pancakes
Makes 12 - 16 servings
These are so light and delicious yet satisfying. Serve with fresh fruit
and dust with powdered sugar.
INGREDIENTS
4 pounds baking potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed clean
Makes approximately 12 four-inch pancakes
Peanut oil for deep frying
Kosher salt
INGREDIENTS
2 cups ricotta cheese
Seasoning possibilities
4 large eggs
Salt mixed with cayenne
Freshly grated Parmesan
Salt mixed with chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
Thinly sliced or slivered truffles
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
METHOD
1
If the potatoes have thick, gnarly skins, as older potatoes do, peel
them. Otherwise, just scrub.
METHOD
1
Preheat griddle or large fry pan on medium heat.
2
Using the Slicing Disc in your Food Processor, slice the potatoes
crosswise into very thin slices in batches. Soak sliced potatoes in
cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain and very carefully. Pat
the slices completely dry with separate layers of paper towels.
2
Fit Food Processor Mixing Bowl with the Chopping blade. Add
ricotta, eggs, butter and sugar to Mixing Bowl and process for
1 minute.
3
Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse several times; all you want
to do is to incorporate ingredients. Don’t over mix.
3
Put several inches of oil in an automatic deep fryer or a deep, heavy
pan or skillet. Set the deep fryer or bring the oil in the pan to 350°F.
4
Dab griddle with butter or non-stick spray. Pour approximately
3 tablespoons of batter onto griddle and spread it out to form
pancakes.
4
In batches, deep-fry the potato slices, turning them with a wire
strainer if necessary to cook them evenly until they turn light golden
brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out the basket or scoop out the potatoes
with a deep-fry skimmer and spread them onto paper towels to
drain. Sprinkle right away with salt and your choice of seasonings.
5
Cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Lift pancakes to make sure they are brown
then flip. These pancakes do not emit little bubbles like traditional
pancakes so you need to check for color.
5
Bring the oil back up to 350°F before adding the next batch.
Arrange the chips attractively in one or more napkin-lined baskets
and serve.

Recipe Courtesy Wolfgang Puck
METHOD
1
In your Food Processor Mixing Bowl fitted with the Shredding Blade,
shred the potatoes and onion in batches. Place potatoes into a large
mixing bowl. Toss them with a squeeze of lemon juice. A handful at a
time, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the shreds.
2
3
In another mixing bowl, stir together the flour, milk, egg, baking
powder, and nutmeg. Stir this batter into the potatoes and then stir
in the melted butter.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add an even film
of peanut oil about 1/4 inch deep and, when it is hot, form pancakes
about 1 heaping tablespoonful large, spreading out and smoothing
the top surface with the back of the spoon. When the undersides are
golden brown, about 3 minutes, use a metal spatula to flip the
pancakes over and cook until their other sides are browned.
4
Serve the pancakes as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with
watercress. If serving as an appetizer, also accompany the pancakes
with your choice of caviar or applesauce, along with some crème
fraiche or sour cream.

Brunch Pizza with Scrambled
Eggs and Smoked Salmon
Basic Pizza Dough
Makes dough for 1 small pizza
INGREDIENTS
1 package active dry or fresh yeast
1 teaspoon honey
Makes 2 servings
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Pizza Dough (see recipe next page)
Chili and Garlic Oil (see recipe p. 33)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees F
1 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
METHOD
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
2
In the Mixing Bowl of your Food Processor fitted with the Chopping
Blade, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture,
and the remaining 1/4 cup of water and process until the mixture
forms a ball.
METHOD
1
Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat
oven to 500 degrees F.
2
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough to an
8-inch round. Place the dough on a pizza peel that has been dusted
with flour or semolina (you can also place on a cookie sheet). Lightly
brush the surface of the dough with chili oil. Place dough on the
pizza stone and bake until the bottom begins to turn golden brown,
but the pizza is not cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove
from the oven and set aside.
3
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand
2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm.
Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool
spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is
lightly pulled).
4
Work ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom
of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured
surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the
dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a
damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the ball can be wrapped
in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Place a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the
pan is hot, add the olive oil and butter and cook until the butter is
melted. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the
eggs are slightly set, but still fairly undercooked, about 4 minutes.
The eggs will cook further in the oven so it is important not to
overcook them. Remove from the heat and remove from the pan to
stop the cooking.
Pizza dough can be rolled out, covered airtight with plastic and foil,
frozen, then transferred directly form the freezer to hot oven.
• You can make pizza dough ahead and let it rise in a covered
bowl in the refrigerator. Just punch it down and knead it a few
times when you’re ready to roll it out.
4
5
Spread the eggs on the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border
around the edges. Scatter the mozzarella and Fontina cheeses
evenly over the eggs. Return to the oven and cook just until the
cheese melts and is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
• If you don’t have a pizza wheel for cutting the pizzas, use
kitchen scissors or a serrated knife.
Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a firm surface.
Arrange the smoked salmon slices over the surface of the pizza,
covering completely. Garnish with the chopped chives and
salmon eggs.
