Pro Custom 11™
Food Processor is a compact and
versatile appliance that chops,
minces, shreds, grates, slices,
blends, purées, emulsifies, mixes
and kneads - all with great
efficiency and speed. The large
feed tube allows you to make
whole slices of large fruits and
vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes
and apples.
The machine includes:
l. Motor base with a vertically
projecting shaft and two large
control levers.
2 Work bowl.
3. Cover with a large feed tube.
4. Pusher assembly that slides
over the feed tube.
5. Compact cover with cap for

chopping/baking.
6. Sharp metal chopping/
mixing blade.
7. Plastic dough blade.
8. Two serrated slicing discs: 1
medium and 1 thin.
9. Shredding disc.
10. Detachable stem that fits
all discs.
11. Plastic spatula.
The metal blade chops raw and
cooked fruits, vegetables, meat, fish
and cheese to the exact consistency
you want - from coarse to fine, even
to a purée. You control the texture.
It chops nuts, makes nut butters,
mayonnaise and sauces, and mixes
tender, flaky pastry. The metal blade
also mixes cakes, frosting, cookies,
quick breads, muffins and biscuits.
The dough blade mixes and kneads
more efficiently than the metal blade
when your recipe calls for more
than 3-1/2 cups (875 mL) of flour.
A locking device prevents heavy
dough from driving the blade up
on the shaft.
The standard slicing disc makes
beautiful whole slices. It slices
whole fruits and vegetables,
cooked meat, semi-frozen raw
meat and thin loaves of bread.
The thin slicing disc is perfect
for slicing cabbage, onions,
radishes, mushrooms, celery,
potatoes and cucumbers.
The medium shredding disc
processes most firm and hard
cheese into long, attractive
shreds. It also shreds vegetables
like potatoes, carrots and zucchi-
ni, and processes nuts and
chocolate to a grated texture.
The detachable stem fits
all discs, making storage
easy in limited space.
The pusher assembly
has 3 parts.
1. The small removable white
pusher fits into the small feed
tube. This tube is for narrow food
like carrots, for adding liquid, and
for continuous feeding of small
hard food like garlic.
2. The large pusher is
permanently attached to the
sleeve, but moves freely within
it – except when the slide lock
on the sleeve is locked in place
over the large feed tube.
3. The bottom sleeve has two
descending tabs. One locks the
sleeve to the work bowl (white
lock); the other pushes down
an activating rod at the back
of the bowl, permitting the
motor to start.
