OPERATING CONTROLS

Your SmartPower Duet® appliance comes with a food processor button. This button is the perfect speed for all your food processing tasks. Always use this speed when using the food processor. You may also use the “Pulse” button with this function for pulse-chopping.

To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are locked into place.

When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each button you press.

Press the “On” button. For continuous operation, press the “Food Processor” button. Motor will start if you have fol- lowed assembly instructions.

To turn motor off, press the “Food Processor” button again or the “Off” button.

For on-off operation, called pulse-chop- ping or pulsing, press the “On” button, press the “Pulse” button, and then press and release the “Food Processor” button the desired number of times. Motor runs as long as you hold the “Food Processor” button down. The motor stops when you release control switch. Try it a few times.

You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of time you hold the “Food Processor” button down and the rate at which you press it. Allow enough time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall to bottom.

Always use the “Food Processor” but- ton for pulse/chopping. Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor.

USING THE SMARTPOWER DUET® BLENDER/FOOD PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉ E, AND MIX

Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on page 6.

1.Remove cover and put food into work bowl.

First, cut food into 3/4" 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 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 proces- sor lid while in use, to provide unit stability. Press the “On” button, press the “Pulse” button, and the “Food Processor” 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 over- processing. 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 the “Food Processor” 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 spatula 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 over- chop - look at food frequently through work bowl.
