stop rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover
toward UNLOCK
to remove the Cover.
8. Carefully pull the Slice/Shred Disc (and in the case of the FP1400, the Discharge Disc) off the
Stem, remove the Stem, unlock the Bowl by turning it away from its Base, and lift the Bowl off.
How To Use The Chopping Blade
The Chopping Blade speeds up many everyday tasks and is designed to chop, crumb, grind,
mince and mix quickly.
1. Place the Bowl over the Center Post in the Base with the handle at the left. Turn the Bowl
towards the Base until it drops down into place. Snap the Bowl in towards the base and be sure
the Locking Tabs locks into place (see A).
2. Grasp the Chopping Blade by its center shaft
and slide it down onto the Center Post. (B)
3. Place the Food Chute/Cover onto the Bowl so
that its Tab is facing the Base. Twist the Food
Chute/Cover in toward the Base to LOCK until you
hear it click into place.
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
5. Use the Food Guide to help you prepare food for
chopping/mincing/mixing and crumbing. Fill the
Bowl with food.
6. Select the Hi or Lo Speed, then press the
desired Pulse or On Control. When pulsing, hold
the Pulse position for about 2-3 seconds: check
results; repeat for desired consistency. It is better
to use several short operations rather than a single long one unless mixing ingredients that
require longer processing times.
7. After processing food, press the control to Off or release the Pulse button. Allow the Chopping
Blade to stop rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover toward UNLOCK to remove the Cover.
8. Grasp the Chopping Blade by its shaft and remove. Unlock the Bowl by turning it away from its
Base, and lift it off. Empty the processed food.
Care and Cleaning
NOTE:
Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the Chopping Blade or the Reversible
Disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.
Cleaning
1. Before cleaning, be sure the unit is Off and the cord is unplugged.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
3. Wipe the Base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed
by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the Base in liquid.
4. All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. To remove the Food Fingers,
simply pull up on the clip portion.
■
If washing by hand, wash in hot, sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a
small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the Bowl and Food Chute/Cover; this type of
brush will also help prevent cutting yourself on the Chopping Blade and Slice/Shred Disc.
■
If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only — not in or near the
utensil basket.
■
Some staining of parts may occur. Use a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda/1 tablespoon
water — apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.
5. Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
