Disc Operation

1.Plug in the housing base and place the work bowl on top, with the work bowl handle just to the left of centre. Turn the work bowl counter-clock- wise to lock it onto the housing base.

2.Choose desired disc and place underside-up on tabletop. Pick up detachable disc stem and align it with the raised plastic crescent on the disc underside. The raised ‘lock’ indica- tor on the left corner of the stem should be to the left of the mounting plate on disc.

4.With the stem facing down, place the assembly over the centre hub. It should fit snugly and rest on the bottom of the work bowl.

5.Place work bowl cover onto work bowl, with the handle area just to the left of centre. Turn counterclockwise to lock onto work bowl.

6.Align pusher with the feed tube opening on the work bowl cover and slide the activating rod down to the bottom.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Try chopping some practice foods such as a zucchini or potato before you process food to eat. First, cut the ingredients into 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces of even size and length.

Place the work bowl over the centre stem and turn counterclockwise to lock in place.

Insert the metal chopping blade and put ingredient pieces in the work bowl.

Put on the cover and turn counterclockwise to lock onto work bowl. Align the pusher and the pusher’s activating rod with the corresponding openings on the feed tube, and push all the way down.
