Blade Operation

The BladeLock feature is designed to keep the blade in place during processing, pouring, lifting, and handling tasks – but is not permanently attached. Handle with care. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down.

Note: The chopping/mixing blades should not be removed with liquid contents above the hub of the blade in the bowls, as this will defeat the SealTightsystem.

Large Blade Operation

3.With your large work bowl assembled on the base, grasp the large chopping/mixing blade by its hub, align it over the center of the bowl, place it onto the shaft and turn it until it slides into place. Firmly push down to lock. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)

Dough Blade Operation

4.For use with the large bowl. Carefully lift and place the dough blade on the shaft and turn it until it slides into place.

Small Blade Operation

5.With both work bowls assembled on the base, position the stem adapter over the center of the bowls, place it on the shaft and turn it until it slides into place. Grasp the small chopping/mixing blade by its hub, place it over the stem adapter, turning it until it slides into place, and push down firmly to lock. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)

Disc Operation

6.When using your large bowl only, position the stem adapter over the center of the bowl, place it on the shaft and turn it until it slides into place. If using the adjustable slicing disc, use the rotating hub and indicator markings to select slicing thickness. Using the finger holes, align and insert the disc over the stem adapter.
