ASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS –
MODEL VCM1000SE, VCM1000PE, VCM1000SK & VCM1000PK
We will use the terms Work Bowl, Batch Bowl and Cutter Bowl interchangeably
throughout this instruction book. They mean the same thing.
• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the work
bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing tools prior to
initial use.
• Place the base on a counter or table near an electrical outlet. Position it so
you look 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 work bowl, holding it in both hands with the handle toward you.
• Place the bowl on the base, fitting its central tube over the motor shaft on the
base and placing its handle slightly to the left of front-center (at about a
7 o’clock position).
• Press the bowl down so the lower rim fits around the circular platform. Turn
the bowl counterclockwise as far as it will go. It will lock into position with the
tabs on the sides of the platform.
• Pick up the metal S-Blade, noting the outline on tip and the shape on the
bottom. It matches the shape of the motor shaft.
• Place the S-Blade over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the inside of the
hub with the shaft. Press it down firmly, rotating the center hub until the
S-Blade assembly is fully seated. It should easily drop into place. Be sure it
is pushed down as far as it will go. If it is not all the way down, it may
become damaged. Push only on the center section (plastic part); never touch
the
S-Blade, as it is extremely sharp.
• Check to be sure the S-Blade is all the way down by turning it back and forth
while lightly pushing it down. If properly installed and fully seated, the lower
blade will be positioned just above the inside bottom of the bowl.
• If processing food with the S-Blade, now is the time to add the food or liquid
to the work bowl.
• Place the cover on the bowl. The locking tabs on the cover should be at the
left of the locking tabs on the front rim of the work bowl.
• Rotate the cover counterclockwise to lock it into place. When the cover is
rotated into place, the safety interlock tab on the back rim of the cover will
deactivate the safety interlock mechanism located in the safety interlock
tower.
• The cover must be in place correctly, with the cover’s safety interlock tab
firmly engaged with the tower’s magnetic safety interlock mechanism, for the
food processor to operate. This is an important safety feature.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD PROCESSOR WITHOUT THE
COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.
