small metal chopping/mixing blades, dough blade,
adjustable slicing disc, reversible shredding disc,

book.
CAUTION: THE CUTTING TOOLS HAVE
VERY SHARP EDGES.
To avoid injury when
unpacking the parts, please follow these
instructions.
1. Place the box on a low table or on the floor
next to the kitchen counter where you intend to
keep the food processor. Be sure the box is
right side up.
2. Open top flaps—there will be a rectangular
block of foam that holds the processor parts,
each fitted into a cavity in the foam.
3. Remove the instruction/recipe book and bowl
cover (A) from one side of the foam block. Lift
out the large and small pushers.
4. Lift out the work bowls (B) and spatula (C) from
the other side of the foam block.
5. Remove the foam block and the cardboard
frame.
6. Remove the housing base (D) from one side of
the bottom of the box. Assemble the work
bowls on the base by placing them over the
shaft using the handle to turn the work bowl
counterclockwise to lock it.
7. Place the food processor on the countertop or
table. Read the Assembly Instructions
thoroughly before using the machine.
8. The storage case (E) is on the other side of the
bottom of the box.
9. Lift out the storage case, unlock the cover and
remove the foam block; the small metal
chopping/mixing blade (F), dough blade (G),
large metal chopping/mixing blade (H), and
stem adapter (I), are each in a cavity.
CAREFULLY REMOVE THE METAL
CHOPPING/MIXING BLADE BY GRASPING
THE CENTER HUB AND LIFTING IT
STRAIGHT UP. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADES,
AS THEY ARE RAZOR SHARP.
10. Pull out the drawer to the storage case with
the adjustable slicing disc (J), and
CAREFULLY REMOVE IT BY USING THE
PLASTIC HUB. DO NOT TOUCH THE
BLADE, IT IS VERY SHARP.
The reversible
shredding disc (K) is also in the drawer.
Carefully remove the slicing disc and
shredding disc by using the plastic hub.
Remember to lock the parts in the storage
case when not in use.
11. Save the shipping cartons and plastic foam
blocks. You will find them very useful if you
need to repack the processor for moving or
other shipment.
