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 (2.5 cm) pieces.
• Place the work bowl over the centre stem,
with the handle area just to the left of
centre. 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.
• Press and release the PULSE button two
or three times. Each time the blade stops,
let the pieces drop to the bottom of the
bowl before you pulse again. This puts
them in the path of the blade each time
the motor starts.
• Using the pulse/chopping technique, you
get an even chop without overprocessing.
Check the texture frequently by looking
through the cover. If you want a fi ner
chop, press and release the PULSE
button until you achieve the desired
texture. Onions and other food with a high
water content will quickly end up as a
purée, unless examined through the work
bowl after each pulse to make sure they
are not overprocessed.
Try chopping other food like meat for ham-
burger or sausage. Then make mayonnaise,
pastry or bread, as described in the following
sections. To obtain consistent results:
Be sure all the pieces you add to the bowl
are about the same size.
Be sure the amount you process is no larger
than recommended on the inside cover of
this booklet.
Before you do anything, wait for the blade to
stop spinning. Once it does, turn the cover
clockwise to unlock and remove by lifting it
off.
Remove the bowl from the base of the ma-
chine before removing the blade. This creates
a seal to prevent food from leaking. Turn the
bowl clockwise to unlock from the base, and
lift straight up to remove.
To prevent the blade from falling from the
work bowl onto your hand when emptying
the work bowl, use one of the following
methods.
Be sure your hands are dry.
Grab the blade hub, and remove the metal
blade before tilting the bowl, using a spatula
