TO USE THE CHOPPING BLADE
1. Place container over center post in base with handle at the left. Turn container towards base until
it drops down into place. Snap bowl in towards base and be sure locking tab locks into place.
2. Grasp chopping blade by its center shaft and slide it down onto center post.
3. Place food cover onto container so that its tab is facing base. Twist food cover in toward base
to LOCK/ until you hear it click into place.
4. Plug cord into an electrical outlet.
5. Place food into container.
6. Press Alto, Bajo, or Pulso When pulsing, hold pulse position for about 2-3 seconds. Check results
and repeat for desired consistency. It is better to use several short operations rather than a single
long one unless mixing ingredients that require longer processing times.
7. After processing food, press control to OFF (APAGATO) or release PULSE (PULSO) button. Allow
chopping blade to stop rotating. Twist cover toward UNLOCK/

FOOD PROCESSING TIPS
Liquids
• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.
• Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 3 cups or less at a time. Larger amounts may leak
from container.
Meat
• When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into
1" (25.4mm) cubes. Do not put more than 10.5 ounces (300g) of meat into
the container at a time.
Food Size, Preparation and Loading
• When using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients later.
This reduces the number of times container must be washed and dried.
• You can use the disc in combination with the chopping blade. Just position chopping blade in
bowl and press slice/shred disc with desired side (slice or shred) down onto hub of chopping
blade. Using the 2 parts together can eliminate having to pre-cut foods into cubes — perfect
when shredding and chopping cheese such as parmesan to get a finer grated result.
