ASSEMBLY of CONTINUOUS FEED CHUTE PARTS
FP40C
• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the continuous feed chute, cover, slinger
disc, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to initial use.
• Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so that you are looking at
the front of the unit and can see the control paddles. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF
switch paddle has been pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.
• Pick up the gray continuous feed chute, holding it in both hands with the chute pointing in the 4 o’clock
position. Place the chute on the base, fitting its center opening over the motor shaft. Align the bowl lock-
ing slots on the bottom of the chute to the left of the gray locking tabs on the side of the bowl platform
(motor base).
• Press the chute down so the round lower rim of the chute fits around the circular platform.
• Place the Slinger (or ejector disc) in the bowl, sliding it over the metal motor shaft until it reaches the
bottom of the chute.
• Select the appropriate UL listed accessory disc: Grating disc, shredding disc, slicing disc, waved slicing
disc, pulping disc, or julienne/French fry disc.
• Each of these discs has a disc stem. The disc stem fits over the double flat in the food processor’s stainless
steel motor shaft. The stem will also fit inside either the clear plastic tube inside the bowl or the
continuous feed chute and slinger.
• After selecting the appropriate disc, pick up the disc either using the finger holes on the disc surface,
or holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands
on the shredding / grating nodules.
• Carefully guide the disc stem over the metal shaft so the double slots in the hub line up with the pins in
the shaft. It should easily drop into place, but if not, then gently rotate until you feel the disc drop into
place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. Push on the outside rim only; never touch the
cutting blades.
Do not put any food in the chute before placing the
accessory disc onto the shaft.
• Place the cover on top of the chute. Press down the cover until
it is fully seated on all sides. Rotate the cover lock mechanism
until it latches to the tab on the continuous feed chute. This will
prevent the lid from rising up during processing.
• Turn the chute and cover together, counterclockwise, until the
discharge chute is in the 3 o’clock position and the locking tabs
on the motor base are engaged in the bowl locking slots on the
bowl bottom.
• The interlock tab on the cover will simultaneously slide into the
tower safety interlock slot and engage the magnetic safety
interlock switch. The interlock switch prevents operation of the
machine unless the cover is in the proper position. With this
switch engaged, the food processor will operate, if the power is
on and the controls are turned to ON or PULSE.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD
PROCESSOR WITHOUT THE CHUTE AND
COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.
