Using Your Food Processor – Chopping and Mixing

1.Follow the assembly instructions in the Assembling your Food Processor section.

2.Make sure the switch is OFF and the food processor is unplugged.

3.The chopping blade can be used to coarsely or finely chop, and mince foods. Increased processing time will result in foods that are puréed to a smooth consistency.

4.Place chopping blade over motor hub. Blades are sharp- handle carefully.

5.For more uniform results, start with food pieces that are uniform in size. Food pieces should be pre-cut to approximately 1-inch in size for best results.

6.Add ingredients to the food processor container. Securely lock the cover in place.

7.Place cover on food processor container.

8.Plug cord into outlet.

9.Always operate food processor on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying foreign material or water into the motor.

10.TO CHOP: Choose LOW speed to observe results. The processing speed and time will determine results. The pulse setting will help you avoid over- processing.

11.TO MINCE: Increase processing time or speed.

12.TO PURÉE: Use the HIGH setting.

13.The blue LED light will be “ON“during operation.

14.Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped ONLY when motor is OFF.

15.Switch to a higher speed if the motor seems to labor when processing to pre- vent over-loading of the motor.

16.TO STOP PROCESSING: Turn the switch to OFF.

17.Wait until blades stop rotating before removing cover and/or processing container.

18.Remove processor container by turning counter-clockwise on base to unlock.

Using Your Food Processor – Slicing and Shredding

1.Follow the assembly instructions in the Assembling your Food Processor section.

2.Make sure the switch is OFF and the food processor is unplugged.

3.The reversible slicing/shredding blade can be used to slice or shred firm foods into the food processor container.

4.Place blade extension over motor hub. Blades are sharp- handle carefully.

5.Place slice/shred blade onto the hub.

6.Place cover onto food processor container.

7.For more uniform results, start with food pieces that are uniform in size. Food pieces should be precut to fit into the food pusher opening on the cover.

DO NOT USE FINGERS TO PUSH FOOD INTO THE OPENING.

8.Add food pieces into the food pusher opening on top of the cover. Place food pusher into opening.

9.Plug cord into outlet.

10.Always operate food processor on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying foreign material or water into the motor.

11.TO SLICE: Choose LOW speed. Exert medium pressure to evenly feed foods into shredding blade. Best results are obtained by filling food pusher opening with foods to be sliced. Long, thin food should be paced next to each other filling the food pusher opening.
