OPERATION
WARNING: ROTATING KNIVES INSIDE. ALWAYS USE THE FEED HOPPER OR PUSHER PLATE FEED ATTACHMENT. KEEP HANDS OUT.
Proper assembly of the FP400, including selection of the appropriate cutters, is necessary for correct operation of the food processor. Refer to the CUTTING TOOL GUIDE for sizes of cutters and refer to the appropriate operation instructions.
CONTROLS (Fig. 3)
START BUTTON (Green) — Push to start.
STOP BUTTON (Red) — Push to stop.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH — Use to regulate the speed of the machine. The control should be set to Position 2 (high speed) for most cutting other than dicing. Use Position 1 (low speed) for better results when dicing or when processing soft and juicy products.
LOCKING HANDLE — Machine stops when handle is pulled forward, unlocking the feed cylinder. Machine can be operated only when the handle is locking the feed cylinder into place.
Interlock switches prevent the food processor from operating when the feed cylinder is out of position, the feed hopper is not installed, or the pusher plate is not in the feed cylinder. If these features do not function as described, contact your local Hobart Service Office.
During operation, when the pusher plate is rotated clockwise out of the feed cylinder, the food processor stops for loading. To continue operation, rotate the pusher plate counterclockwise and the food processor will restart — you do not need to push the green START button unless STOP button was pressed.
When the feed hopper attachment is installed and the locking handle is locking the feed cylinder in place, the machine will operate continuously until the STOP button is pressed.
