THE PARTS The Waring® FP40 and FP40C food processors are compact, easy-to-use appliances. Completely assembled, the FP40 is only 21" high (53.3cm) and stores conveniently when not in use. For more compact storage, the cover can be stored upside down with the feed tube in the bowl. When stored this way, the unit is only 151⁄2" high (39.4 cm). The Waring FP40 and FP40C food processors both consist of the following standard parts and accessories: 1.

ASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS (FP40 & FP40C) We will use the terms Work Bowl, Batch Bowl and Cutter Bowl interchangeably throughout this instruction book. They mean the same thing. • Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to initial use. • Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so you look at the front of the unit and can see the control paddles.
Batch Bowl Assembly continued……. • Place the cover on the bowl, with the feed tube on the left, slightly toward the front. The locking tabs on the cover should be at the left of the locking tabs on the front rim of the work bowl. • Rotate the cover counterclockwise to lock it into place. When the cover is rotated into place, the safety interlock tab on the back rim of the cover will deactivate the safety interlock mechanism located in the safety interlock tower.
DISASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS (FP40 & FP40C) ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING • Turn the bowl cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the cover is disengaged from the magnetic safety interlock switch in the tower, and the tabs are clear of the groove in the tower. The right bowl handle will be at a position between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock. In this position you can lift the cover off the bowl. • Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube.
ASSEMBLY of CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS FP40C • Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the continuous feed chute, cover, slinger disc, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to initial use. • Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so that you are looking at the front of the unit and can see the control paddles. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF switch paddle has been pressed.
Two Pushers for Feed Tube Pick up the large food pusher and the small food pusher. The large pusher is for processing larger vegetables. The smaller pusher nests in the larger pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables, guiding long thin vegetables for more precise cuts and for jobs like slicing pepperoni. Large Pusher Insert the small food pusher into the large food pusher opening. When it is fully inserted, rotate the small pusher clockwise to lock it into place.
OPERATING THE CONTROLS • Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be 110/120 volts/60Hz. • There are two control paddles (levers) located on the base of the machine. They are on the front and they give you fingertip control of processing. They are large enough to find easily in case of emergency. The two controls are: ON PULSE/OFF How they work: ON: Press the paddle down to start the motor. PULSE/OFF: Press the paddle down and release to turn off the motor.
FOOD PREPARATION • Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. • Cut vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc. into sizes that will fit into your choice of small feed tube or large feed tube for processing with accessory discs, or into sizes required by your processing task. • Preparation for Slicing. Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots, cucumbers and celery should be cut flat at both ends.
USE INSTRUCTIONS for S-BLADE (Cutter Blade) in the BATCH BOWL FP40 & FP40C • The S-Blade (cutter blade) is designed for chopping, grinding, puréeing, blending, mixing, and kneading of ingredients required in almost all recipes. • Assemble the bowl and blade as instructed in the section titled “Assembly of Batch Bowl Parts,” page 8. Chopping and Mincing • To chop or mince in the bowl, fill the bowl with food product up to the top of the bowl’s inner tube, or up to 3⁄4 full.
Bread Crumbs Tear fresh or dried breads and put into the work bowl. After putting the bowl cover in place, press the PULSE paddle repeatedly until you reach the consistency desired. For fine powdered bread crumbs, let the food processor run continuously until finished. Grind Nuts for Cakes Put up to 8 cups of nuts (with shells removed) into the work bowl, and press the PULSE paddle repeatedly. Check the texture of the nuts frequently to determine consistency.
USE INSTRUCTIONS for ACCESSORY DISCS in the CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE FP40 & FP40C • Assemble the bowl and accessory disc as instructed in the section titled, “Assembly of Batch Bowl Parts,” page 8, or assemble the continuous feed chute and accessory disc as instructed in the section titled “Assembly of Continuous Feed Chute Parts,” page 11.
Accessory Disc Selection and Use The FP40 and FP40C food processor disc accessories are made to perform a large variety of food processing tasks: slicing, waved slicing, grating, shredding, French fry and julienne cuts. As of this printing, there are a total of 27 accessory discs available for these functions.
Slicing Operation Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute. Foods such as carrots, cucumbers, etc., should be cut flat at both ends to provide a consistent slice throughout the whole product. With foods like cabbage, lettuce or any product that has an undesirable core, the core should be removed. Medium-size cabbage or lettuce heads may be cut into thirds to fit in the feed chute.
CFP25 (1⁄64" Fine Grate). Use this disc for extra fine grating of hard cheeses like Romano and Parmesan. Also use this disc for cracker or cookie crumbs or dried bread crumbs. Caution: Do not use this disc for soft cheeses or moist breads as this will clog the disc and give poor results. CFP26 (1⁄16") This larger grating disc is appropriate for processing grated carrots, cheese and other foods when a coarser result is desired. CFP28 (1⁄8"), CFP30 (3⁄16"), and CFP33 (5⁄16") are popular size shredding discs.
