Product Components

The Vanshly 13-Cup Food Processor Pusher Assembly includes three distinct sizes of push rods, designed to be assembled as needed for various food processing tasks:

• Small Pusher (FP-13SP): For smaller ingredients or when precise feeding is required.
• Medium Pusher (FP-13MP): A versatile size for general use.
• Large Pusher (FP-13LP): The main outer pusher, accommodating larger food items.

Installation and Assembly

The pusher assembly is designed for easy integration with your compatible food processor. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Ensure your food processor is unplugged and the work bowl and lid are securely in place.
2. Identify the appropriate pusher size for your task. The large pusher (FP-13LP) is the primary component that fits into the feed tube of the food processor lid.
3. If using, insert the medium pusher (FP-13MP) into the large pusher.
4. If using, insert the small pusher (FP-13SP) into the medium pusher.
5. Carefully insert the assembled pusher into the feed tube of your food processor lid. It should slide in smoothly and fit snugly.

Operation

Once installed, the pusher assembly facilitates the safe and efficient feeding of ingredients into the food processor's blades. Always use the pusher when adding food through the feed tube to protect your hands and ensure even processing.

• Place ingredients into the feed tube.
• Use the appropriate size pusher to gently guide the food down towards the spinning blades.
• Apply steady, even pressure. Do not force food into the feed tube.
• For continuous processing, you may remove the smaller pushers to add more ingredients through the larger opening, then reinsert them as needed.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your pusher assembly and ensure hygienic food preparation.

• Cleaning: Hand wash recommended for all parts of the pusher assembly. Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. The smooth surface and specially designed plastic spots on the bottom assist in easy cleaning.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before storing to prevent water spots or potential bacterial growth.
• Storage: Store the pusher assembly in a clean, dry place, preferably with your food processor accessories.
• Material: Made from high-quality, safe, and healthy materials for long service life.

Troubleshooting

Most issues related to the pusher assembly can be resolved by ensuring proper compatibility and usage.
