Always use the High button for pulse/chopping. Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor.

CHOPPING, PURÉEING AND MIXING

Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on page 8.

1.Remove cover and put food into work bowl. First, cut food into 34" (1.88 cm) pieces. You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that are all the same size. Put pieces into work bowl with metal blade in place. You can put in up to 1 cup (250 ml) of food at a time. If you want to process more, do it in batches.

2.Put on cover and lock it. Insert pusher. It is recommended that one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide unit stability. Press the On button, press the Pulse button, and press the High button (to pulse), then release. Repeat two to three times. Each time blade stops, let food pieces drop to the bottom of bowl before pulsing again. This ensures that the blade will chop them at every pulse. Watch what happens to the food. With pulse/chopping technique, you can get an even chop without danger of overprocessing. Check texture by looking through work bowl. Be careful not to overprocess. For a

coarse chop, pulse only a few times.

3.If you want a finer chop or purée, press the On button and then press the High button and let machine run continuously until the food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check frequently through clear cover or bowl to avoid chopping too fine. Use a plastic spat- ula to scrape down any pieces that stick to inside of bowl. Onions and other food with a high water content turn into a smooth purée very quickly. Do not overchop – look at food frequently through work bowl.

To purée, follow same procedure as for chopping, but let machine run until food is a smooth purée.

New users are often surprised at how fast the processor works. You will quickly get used to its great speed.

These are some conditions that affect your results:

Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should be about the same size.

Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.

Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse/chopping.

ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING

To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through open feed tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise or dressings.

A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow, steady stream – useful when making sauces.

When you want to add small pieces of food like cheese, meat or garlic cloves while machine is running, drop them through open feed tube.

To prevent spills when adding sugar and other dry ingredients, use a funnel.

REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD

Before removing processed food, turn dial to Off and wait for blade to stop spinning. Then remove cover by turning it counterclockwise. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this can damage work bowl.

It is important not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl as you empty it. Here are two ways to prevent it from falling out:

1.Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove food from around blade. Carefully remove blade by the plastic hub.

2.Hold top of blade in place with finger or spatula while pouring out processed food.

At this point, you may either lift the work bowl off motor base, or hold the collar at the base and turn the handle of the bowl counterclockwise and lift blade straight up.

Your SmartPower Premier Duet600-Watt Blender/Food Processor makes many everyday food preparation tasks much easier and faster. Follow these guidelines to get best results when using metal blade with food you prepare most often.

NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food may become wedged between
