Before First Use

When unpacking the product and removing packing material, handle the Chopping Blade, and Slice/Shred Disc carefully; they are very sharp.

Wash all parts except the Base. Be sure to read this Use & Care Book, paying special attention to the sections on "How to Use" and "Care and Cleaning" to learn the correct methods for taking the unit apart and cleaning.

How To Use – English

NOTE ABOUT USAGE: Do not attempt to chop ice in this food processor; it will damage the Bowl and dull the Chopping Blade. This unit will not whip cream, beat egg whites to a desirable volume, grind coffee beans or spices with a high oil content, or slice or shred hard-cooked eggs, marshmallows, or soft cheeses.

IMPORTANT: For your protection, this unit has an Interlock System so the processor won't operate unless the Bowl is locked onto the Base and the Cover is correctly locked onto the Bowl. Be sure the Bowl Handle is turned fully onto the Base so that the Handle lines up over the Signal Light. Do not attempt to operate the unit without the Cover being correctly in place. Be sure the Base and the Base is on a flat, dry, clean surface before you begin processing.

How to Slice or Shred

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Place the Bowl over the Center Post in the

A

Base with the Handle at the left. Turn the

Bowl towards the right until it drops down

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

into place. Snap the Bowl in so that the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Handle lines up straight over the Signal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Light; be sure it locks into place (A).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Slide the Disc Stem onto the Center Post in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Bowl, then carefully grasp the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slice/Shred Disc (it’s sharp!!!) with the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

desired side (Slice or Shred) up and push it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

down onto the Disc Stem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Place the Cover onto the Bowl so that the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B

 

 

 

 

 

Food Chute is just to the right of the Bowl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Handle. Twist the Food Chute/Cover

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

toward LOCK until you hear it click into

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

place (B).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Use

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Food Guide to help you prepare food

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for slice/shred processing. Fill the Food

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chute with food and position the Pusher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

over the food. If you load rounder foods

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(such as carrots or cucumbers) vertically,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Food Fingers will help keep them from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tilting for even slicing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.Press down lightly but firmly on the Food Pusher while pressing the Pulse (or press ON for continuous processing). NOTE: Let the Processor do the work. Heavy pressure will not speed operation. Do not use the Processor continuously for more than 3 minutes at a time.

6.After processing food, release the Pulse, or if you were using continuous ON, press Pulse/OFF. Allow the Disc to stop rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover toward UNLOCK to remove the Cover.

7.Grasp the Disc and lift out. Carefully pull out the Disc Stem, unlock the Bowl by turning the Handle to the left, and lift the Bowl off.

How To Chop

The Chopping Blade speeds up many everyday tasks and is designed to chop, crumb, grind, mince and mix quickly.

1.Place the Bowl over the Center Post in the Base with the Handle at the left. Turn the Bowl towards the right until it drops down into place. Snap the Bowl in so that the Handle lines up straight over the Signal Light; be sure it locks into place (A).

2.Grasp the Chopping Blade by its center shaft and slide it

down onto the Center Post. (C)

(B).

4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Use the Food Guide to help you prepare food for chopping/mincing/mixing and crumbing.

5. Press Pulse (or ON for continuous operation). When

C

pulsing, hold the Pulse position for about 2-3 seconds:

check results; repeat for desired consistency. It is better to

 

 

use several short operations rather than a single long one unless mixing ingredients that require longer processing times.

6.After processing food, release the Pulse, or if you were using continuous ON, press Pulse/OFF. Allow the Disc to stop rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover toward UNLOCK to remove the Cover.

7.Grasp the Chopping Blade by its shaft and remove. Unlock the Bowl by turning the Handle to the left, and lift the Bowl off. Empty the processed food.

How to Use the Dough Blade
