MACHINE Controls

3.Press the On button. The blue LED light will illuminate and the motor will start.

4.Press the Off button when finished.

PULSE Button

The Pulse control is a momentary button that allows the machine to run only while it is being pressed. This capability provides more accurate control of the duration and frequency of processing. Unless otherwise specified, a pulse is about one second.

1.With the machine properly assembled and engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl, press the Pulse button repeatedly as needed. The blue LED On light will be illuminated upon activation.

Work Bowls

Two nested work bowls are provided for a very versatile processing experience. We recommend using the work bowls in a manner that will optimize efficiency. For example, if your recipe requires using both bowls, begin with the small bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to reserve chopped ingredients for a recipe. A great example of this would be the Cherry Crumb Muffins recipe on page 18.

Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while nested. The convenient finger recesses can be used to remove the small bowl with ingredients, or the bowl can remain nested during pouring or food removal.

Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the work bowl, this will not affect the functionality of your work bowl.

For the finest chop, either hold the pulse down or press on to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.

Puréeing
