Disc Operation

1.Plug in the housing base and place the work bowl on top, with the work bowl handle just to the left of center. Turn the work bowl counterclock- wise to lock it onto the housing base.

2.Choose desired disc and place underside-up on tabletop. Pick up detachable disc stem and align it with the raised plastic crescent on the underside of the disc. The raised ‘lock’ indicator on the left cor- ner of the stem should be to the left of the mounting plate on disc.

3.Turn the stem to the right, so the locking tabs are covered by the metal supports and a ‘click’ locks the stem in place.

4.With the stem facing down, place the assembly over the center hub. It should fit snugly and rest on the bottom of the work bowl.

5.Place work bowl cover onto work bowl, with the handle area just to the left of center. Turn counterclockwise to lock onto work bowl.

6.Align pusher with the feed tube opening on the work bowl cover and slide the activating rod down to the bottom.

7.Use the cord wrap on the housing base underside to add or remove cord.

8.You are now ready to operate the machine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Try chopping some practice foods such as a zucchini or potato before you process food to eat. First, cut the ingredients into 1-inch pieces of even size

and length.

•Place the work bowl over the center stem, with the handle area just to the left of center. Turn counterclockwise to lock in place.

•Insert the metal chopping blade and put ingredient pieces in the work bowl.

Put on the cover and turn counterclockwise to lock onto work bowl. Align the pusher and the pusher’s activating rod with the corresponding openings on the feed tube, and push all the way down.

•Press and release the PULSE button two or three times. Each time the blade stops, let the pieces drop to the bottom of the bowl before you pulse again. This puts them in the path of the blade each time the motor starts.

•Using the pulse/chopping technique, you get an even chop without overprocessing. Check the texture frequently by looking through the cover. If you want a finer chop, press and release
