base to be sure the bowl locks into place.
2. Grasp the chopping blade by its center hub and slide it
down onto the post
(C)
.
3. Use the food guide to help you prepare food for chopping/
mincing/mixing and crumbing, then place the food into the
bowl. Place the chopping lid onto the bowl and twist it
toward the base until you hear it click into place.
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
5. Use the Hi or Low for longer processing tasks to make salad dressing, dips, or baby
food. Use the pulse position for short processing like chopping nuts or crumbing bread.
Hold the pulse position for about 2-3 seconds: check results; repeat for desired
consistency.
It is better to use several short pulses rather than a single long one
unless
mixing ingredients that require longer processing times.
6. After processing food, turn the unit “off” by pressing on the elevated end of the rocker
“lever” so that it will be even with the top of the unit in the “Off” position or release
the pulse button. Let the chopping blade stop spinning before you twist the chopping
lid off.

base. Empty the processed food.
FOOD PROCESSING TIPS
Liquids
• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.
• Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 2 cups or less at a time. Larger amounts
will leak from container.
Food Size, Preparation and Loading
• When preparing cookie, cake batter or quick bread, use the chopping blade to cream
butter or shortening and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruits on top
of dry ingredients to prevent over-chopping. Process using short pulses until blended.
Do not overprocess.
Meat
• When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into 1" (2.54cm)
cubes. Do not put more than 1/2 lb. (230g) of meat into the container at a time. Chop
on pulse to the size desired.
Dry Ingredients
• When using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist
ingredients later. This reduces the number of times container must be washed and dried.

Care and Cleaning
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or the reversible
slice/shred 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 unplugged.
2. Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup. Removable parts can be
washed by hand or in a dishwasher, top rack.
• If washing by hand, use warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use
a small bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl, cover with continuous flow chute,
chopping blade, and slice/shred disc.
• In a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only — not in or near the utensil
basket.
3. Wipe the base with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly. Remove stubborn spots
with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the base in liquid.
4. Do not use rough scouring pads, abrasives, or cleansers on any parts.
5. Do not fill the bowl with boiling water or place any parts in boiling water. Some foods,
such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove stains, make a paste of
1 tablespoon baking soda and two tablespoons warm water. Apply the paste to the
stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse in sudsy water and dry.
