If using the reversible shredding disc, determine whether the fine or medium side will be used and use the plastic hub to twist into position on the stem adapter. The plastic hub may be used for removal of this disc.

Cover Operation

7. Place the work bowl cover onto the work bowl by positioning it directly over the bowls, and push down on the front and back to lock into place.

Another way to put the cover on is by latching the back on first and then pushing down on the front to lock into place. Be sure both front and back locks are fully engaged.

To remove the cover, push in both sides of the release button (located on the cover interlock) and lift up to remove.

Note: The work bowl cover fits, locks and seals on the large bowl with any nested bowl combination. The work bowl cover will become easier to engage with repeated use.

9.Plug the food processor into a proper electrical outlet. It is now ready for use.

Note: The bowl, lid and pushers must be securely in place for the unit to operate.

MACHINE CONTROLS

5.Press the Off button when finished.

WORK BOWLS

Three 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 multiple bowls, begin with the smallest 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 and medium bowls with ingredients, or the bowls 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.
