OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE UNIT SHOULD BE OFF EXCEPT WHEN PRO-
CESSING IS UNDERWAY.
It is recommended that the machine be operated on
a 50% duty cycle. This is easily accomplished since
the preparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, and
loading) takes longer than the processing time. This
will yield the longest life for your machine.
A. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH
THE “S” BLADE
The “S” blade is used for grinding, pureeing, blend-
ing, mixing, of ingredients. There are two ways to
run your machine. Chopping, using a quick start/stop
action, or running continuously for a fine chop or pu-
ree.
1. TO CHOP
To achieve a chopped consistency for vegetables,
meats, cheese, etc., fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full with
portions no larger than 1 to 2 inch square. Press the
On then the Off button with a quick start-stop motion.
Continue this process until the desired consistency
has been reached. This quick start and stop, or
“pulsing” motion causes the bottom blade to pick up
the product and throw it into the air allowing the top
blade to chop the product. In this manner you will be
able to control the consistency of the product. HINT:
If you begin with equal size product your end product
will be more consistent.
If the motor stalls, reduce the amount of product in
the bowl.
2. TO PUREE OR FINE CHOP
: For a fine puree,
emulsification, or fine chop fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full
with portions no larger than 1 to 1 1/2 inches square.
Begin by pulsing, quickly pressing the on and off
buttons to reduce the size then, press the on button,
and allow the machine to run until the product is finely
chopped or pureed. Some purees may require the
addition of a liquid to obtain the correct consistency.
3. TO CHOP HARD CHEESE:
Place uniform 1” to 1
1/2” cubes of chilled cheese up to 1 1/2 pounds into
the bowl and pulse the machine. For powdered
cheese pulse the motor until the cheese is about pea
size then allow the motor to run continuously until you
have a fine powder.
4. TO CHOP ONIONS, CELERY, CABBAGE, ETC.
Quarter onions, and cut other vegetables into 2 to 3
inch portions. Place the product into the bowl up to 3/
4 full and pulse the unit until you reach the desired
consistency.
CAUTION:
If you overfill or allow the
machine to run continually, the product on the top
may not be cut while that on the bottom will be pu-
reed.
5. TO PUREE OR MIX:
To puree, make sauces, or
to mix and blend, place the ingredients into the bowl
(do not overfill), turn the unit on, and allow to run con-
tinuously.
DO NOT allow the machine to run
unattended.
