Note: the chopping/mixing blades should 

not be removed with liquid contents above 

the hub of the blade in the bowls, as this will 

defeat the Sealtight

 system.

Large Blade operation

3.  With your large work bowl assembled on 

the base, grasp the large chopping/mixing 

blade by its hub, align it over the center of 

the bowl, place it on the shaft and turn it 

until it slides into place. Firmly push down 

to lock. 

Always check to be sure the 

blade is securely locked before turning 

the bowl upside down.

 (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.). 

dough Blade operation

4.  For use with the large bowl. Carefully lift 

and place the dough blade on the shaft and 

turn it until it slides into place.

Small Blade operation

5.  With both work bowls assembled on the 

base, position the stem adapter over the 

center of the bowls, place it on the shaft 

and turn it until it slides into place. Grasp 

the small chopping/mixing blade by its hub, 

place it over the stem adapter, turning it 

until it slides into place, and push down 

firmly to lock. 

Always check to be sure 

the blade is securely locked before 

turning the bowl upside down.

 (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

6.  When using your large bowl only, position 

the stem adapter over the center of the 

bowl, place it on the shaft and turn it until it 

slides into place. 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.

Cover operation

7.  Place the work bowl cover onto the work 

bowl by positioning it directly over the 

bowls, and push down on the front and 

back to lock into place.

 

To remove the cover, push in both sides of 

the release button (located on the cover 

interlock) and lift up to remove. Another way 

to put the cover on is by latching the back 

on first and then pushing down on the front 

to lock into place. Be sure both front and 

back locks are fully engaged. To remove the 

cover, push in both sides of the release 

button (located on the cover interlock) and 

lift up to remove.

 

Note: the work bowl cover fits, locks 

and seals on the large bowl with any 

nested bowl combination. the work bowl 

cover will become easier to engage with 

repeated use.

8.  Align pusher assembly and activating rod 

with the feed tube opening 

on the work bowl cover 

and slide it down 

completely.

9.  Plug the food processor 

into a proper electrical 

outlet. It is now ready for 

use.

 

Note: the bowl, lid and 

pushers must be 

securely in place for the 

unit to operate.

mACHINE CoNtroLS

on Button

The On control is a continuous button that 

allows the machine to run until Off is selected.
1.  Properly assemble and engage the 

machine.

2.  Add ingredients to the 

work bowl, either 

through the feed tube or 

directly into the bowl.

3.  Press the On button. The 

blue LED light will 

illuminate and the motor 

will start.

4.  Press the Off button when 

finished.

PuLSE Button

The Pulse control is a momentary 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 

is about one second.
1.  With the machine properly assembled and 

engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl, 

press the Pulse button repeatedly as 

needed. The blue LED On light will be 

illuminated upon activation.

worK BowLS

Two nested work bowls are provided for a very 

versatile processing experience. We 

recommend using the work bowls in a manner 

that will optimize efficiency. For example, if your 

recipe requires using both bowls, begin with the 

small bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the 

small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to reserve 

chopped ingredients for a recipe. 
Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while 

nested. The convenient finger recesses can be 

used to remove the small bowl with ingredients,  

or the bowl can remain nested during pouring or 

food removal.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the 

work bowl, this will not affect the functionality of 

your work bowl. 

mACHINE FuNCtIoNS

Chopping  

(using the Chopping Blade)

•  For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove 

seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even, 

½ to 1-inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) pieces. Foods cut 

into same size pieces produce the most even 

results. 

•  Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. 

For the finest chop, either hold the pulse 

down or press ON to run the machine 

continuously. Watch ingredients closely to 

achieve desired consistency and scrape the 

work bowl as necessary. 

Puréeing  

(using the Chopping Blade)

•  To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/

vegetables: ingredients should be cut into  

1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces; a smooth purée is 

achieved easiest when all the pieces are equal 

in size. Pulse to initially chop and then process 

ON until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl 

as necessary. Do not use this method to purée 

cooked white potatoes. (see Mashed Potato 

recipe on page 35.)

•  To purée solids for a soup or sauce: strain  

the solids from the liquid and process the 

solids alone. Add cooking liquid and process  

as needed.
