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. Press con- trol switch down to PULSE position, then release it. Repeat two or three times. Each time blade stops, let food pieces drop to bottom of bowl before pulsing again. This ensures that the blade will chop them at every pulse.
Watch what happens to food. With pulse/chop- ping technique, you can get an even chop without danger of overprocess- ing. 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, move control switch up to ON and let machine run continuous- ly until food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check frequently through clear cover or bowl to avoid chopping too fine. Use 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.
To purée, follow same procedure as for chop- ping, 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
•amount of food you process – don’t add too much at a time
•type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse/chopping
Adding Food While Processing
When you want to add liq- uid while machine is run- ning, pour it through open feed tube. This is especial- ly useful when making mayonnaise, bread dough, cakes and many other recipes. A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow, steady stream—useful when making sauces like mayonnaise.
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 flour, sugar and other dry ingredients, use a funnel.
Removing Processed Food
Before removing processed food, move control switch
to OFF and wait for blade to stop spinning. Then remove cover by turning it clockwise. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this can damage work bowl.
If blade continues to turn when control switch is OFF, unplug machine before removing cover. Do not use machine any further. Call
1-800-726-0190 immediate- ly for assistance.
After processing liquids, remove work bowl from base of processor before removing metal blade. Turn handle of bowl clockwise to unlock bowl from base and lift bowl straight up.
A locking device on metal blade prevents it from mov- ing up on motor shaft while machine is in use. If blade holds bowl locked, jiggle white center section of blade lightly. It should release.
It is important not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl as you empty it. Here are three ways to prevent it from falling out:
1.Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove food from around blade.
Carefully remove blade by finger grip on top of center plastic part.
2.Hold top of blade in place with finger or spat- ula while pouring out processed food.
3.Make sure your hands are dry. Insert finger through hole in under- side of bowl and place thumb on rim of bowl. Grip inside of blade shaft firmly to hold blade in place.
Slicing And
Shredding Less
Than 3 Cups
Of Food
1.Assemble clear work bowl on base in usual way.
2.Pick up adapter stem. Note that round base is notched at one end. Center section is hexag- onal (six-sided) and top section is flat on both sides.
Hold stem firmly by flat top and push it down as far as it will go on motor shaft.
3.Hold slicing or shredding disc with its longer collar down (the side that reads “THIS SIDE DOWN”). Always han- dle slicing or shredding discs by rims. Never touch sharp cutting blades.
Slide disc over stem and push it down until its center collar is flush with hexagonal section of stem.
4.Put cover on work bowl, lock it into place and insert food in feed tube. (If you are slicing, first cut one end of food flat. Place in feed tube flat side down.) See page 11 for guidelines on how to get consistent slices and shreds.
5.Insert pusher. Use mod- erate pressure to push down on pusher with one hand while holding con- trol switch in PULSE position with other hand until food is sliced or
shredded. This will only take a few seconds.
Wait until disc stops spinning before remov- ing cover. When it stops, remove cover before removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this could damage work bowl.
6.Remove slicing or shred- ding disc before remov- ing work bowl. To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight up.
Then turn bowl clockwise to remove it from base and lift it straight up.
Slicing And
Shredding More
Than 3 Cups
Of Food
1.Substitute chute attach- ment for clear work bowl.
Pick up empty work bowl, holding it in both hands with handle toward you and chute toward right. Put bowl on base, fitting center tube over motor shaft and placing handle slightly to left of front center (7 o’clock).
Hold bowl by handle and turn bowl counterclock- wise as far as it will go. It will click into locked posi- tion.
2.Pick up adapter stem. Note that round base is notched at one end; cen- ter section is hexagonal (six-sided) and top sec- tion is flat on both sides.
Hold stem firmly by flat top and push it down as far as it will go on motor shaft.
3.Hold ejector disc with side that reads “THIS SIDE DOWN” down. Slide ejector disc over adapter stem, pushing it down so it fits over notched top of round section of stem.
4.Hold slicing or shredding disc with its longer collar down (the side that reads “THIS SIDE DOWN.”) Always han- dle slicing or shredding discs by rims. Never touch sharp cutting blades.
Slide disc over stem and push it down until its center collar is flush with hexagonal section of stem.
5.Put cover on work bowl and turn it counterclock- wise to lock it into place.
Place receptacle for processed food on counter under chute. You can use bowls or saucepans. Those with high (up to 6 inches, 21cm) straight sides work best.
6.Put food in feed tube. Remember to cut one end of food flat if you are slicing, and to insert in feed tube flat side down.
Insert pusher and push down on it with one hand while holding control switch in PULSE position with other hand. Ejector disc will direct food through chute into recep- tacle. Total amount of
