of the bowl. Next, put the small work bowl into
the large bowl, positioning it over the adapter.
Grasp the small chopping/mixing blade by its hub,
placing it on the stem adapter. Push down firmly to
lock. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base and
put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on
the rim of the bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)
Disc Operation
When using the large bowl, position the stem
adapter onto the shaft. If using the adjustable
slicing disc, use the rotating hub and indicator
markings to select slicing thickness. Using the
plastic hub, align and insert the disc over the
stem adapter.
If using the reversible shredding disc, determine
whether the fine or medium side will be used and
use the plastic hub to twist into position on the
stem adapter. The plastic hub may be used for
removal of this disc.
Main Work Bowl Cover Operation
1. Place the lid over the
work bowl with the
feed-tube assembly
shifted slightly to the
right of the handle.
Be sure to assemble
the hub pin into the
center of the lid.
2. Once the cover is fully
seated, rotate the cover
to the left (clockwise)
to engage the lid locking
mechanism and
interlock.
3. To remove the lid, rotate
the lid approximately

th of a turn to the
right to disengage the
interlock and locking
mechanism.
Work Bowls
The two nested work bowls offer versatile food
processing options and save you time by
minimizing cleanup. Use only the small work
bowl when processing smaller quantities.
Optimize efficiency when making recipes that
require multiple bowls, by starting with the smaller
work bowl. For example, prepare a crumb topping
before mixing batter for a cake in the large work
bowl. Or emulsify dressing before shredding
broccoli, carrots and cabbage for vegetable slaw.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the
work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of
your work bowl.
MACHINE CONTROLS
High and Low Control Buttons
The High and Low controls are buttons that allow
the machine to run until Off is selected.
1. Properly assemble the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either
through the feed tube or directly into the bowl.
Lock lid into place.
3. Press the High or Low button. The motor
will start.
4. Press the Off button when finished.
Pulse Button
The Pulse control is a button that allows the machine
to run only while it is being pressed. This capability
provides more accurate control of the duration and
frequency of processing. Unless otherwise specified,
a pulse should be about two seconds.
With the machine properly assembled and
engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl,
press the Pulse button repeatedly as needed.
MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Chopping
(using the Chopping/Mixing Blade)
• For raw ingredients: Peel, core and/or remove
seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even,
½
-
to 1-inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) pieces. Foods cut
into same size pieces produce the most even
results.
• Pulse food in 1 to 2 second increments to chop.
For the finest chop, either hold the Pulse button
down or press High or Low to run the machine
continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve
desired consistency and scrape the work bowl
as necessary. Low speed is recommended
for making doughs and batters. High speed is
recommended for most other chopping,
processing and slicing/shredding tasks.
Puréeing
(using the Chopping/Mixing Blade)
• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables:
Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm)
pieces; a smooth purée is best achieved when all
the pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop
and then process High or Low until food is puréed;
scrape the work bowl as necessary. Do not use
this method to purée cooked white potatoes.
• To purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the
solids from the liquid and process the solids
alone. Add cooking liquid through the feed tube
and process as needed.
Kneading
(using the Dough Blade or the Chopping/
Mixing Blade with Low Speed)
• The dough blade processes pastry doughs,
batters and kneads yeast bread doughs.
The chopping blade is ideal for pastry doughs,
while the dough blade is specifically designed
for kneading yeast doughs.
• The large pusher lock is recommended to be in the
locked position when kneading dough to avoid it
from moving around — some vibration is still normal.
• Dough kneading should be done in the large
bowl only.
Using the Adjustable Slicing and
Reversible Shredding Discs
• The slicing disc makes whole slices. It slices
fruits and vegetables, cooked meat and
semi-frozen raw meat. The shredding disc shreds
most firm and hard cheeses. It also shreds
vegetables like potatoes, carrots and zucchini.
• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for
slicing and shredding. The food will dictate the
amount of pressure: Use light pressure for soft
foods, medium pressure for medium foods and
firm pressure for harder foods. Always process
with even pressure.
• For round fruits or vegetables, slice a thick piece
off base so it sits upright in feed tube. Slice to fit
tube if necessary.
• For small ingredients like mushrooms, radishes
or strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits
upright in the feed tube.
• When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that
it is well chilled.
• To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach:
Roll leaves together and stand them up in feed
tube. Process with even pressure.
NOTE: Always use the pusher when slicing
or shredding. Never put your fingers in the
feed tube while unit is running.
