  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 

finger holes 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.

 

  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

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.

dough. The blue LED On light will also be 

illuminated.

  5. Press the Off button when finished.

Note: Kneading dough should only be 

done in the large work bowl.

wORK BOwLS

Three 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 multiple bowls, begin with the 

smallest bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the 

small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to reserve 

chopped ingredients for a recipe. A great example 

of this would be the Cherry Crumb Muffins recipe 

on page 18.
Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while 

nested. The convenient finger recesses can be 

used to remove the small and medium bowls with 

ingredients, or the bowls 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.
