Pulsing
The Pulsing function is intended for use with the S-Blade in the work bowl.
• For rapid on-off operation, called pulsing, use the PULSE / OFF
(
)
lever
located on the right. The motor runs as long as you hold the lever down; it
stops when you release the lever.
• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the amount
of time you hold the lever down. You control the frequency of pulses by the
rate at which you press the lever. The interval between pulses must be long
enough to allow everything in the work bowl to fall to the bottom.
• Pulsing gives you precise control over chopping, mincing, blending and
mixing. You can process food to any texture or consistency you want, from
coarse
to fine.
• Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food a few times
to break up into smaller parts. Then proceed with continuous use after the
pieces are broken up and easier to process.
• Always use the PULSE/OFF
(
)
lever for pulsing. Never move the bowl
(or chute) and cover assembly on or off to control pulses. It is less efficient
and could damage the machine.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Starting the motor frequently, by excessive use of the
Pulse Button or rapidly opening and closing the hinged Pusher Assembly,
may cause internal components to overheat.
Should overheating occur, a built-in safety switch will disconnect power to the
unit. If this happens, unplug the unit and allow it to cool for approximately
15 minutes. Then plug the unit in and continue operation.
Pusher Interlock Feature
Unit will turn off when pusher is pulled out. Once you push it in again, unit will
automatically turn on.
Turning Off
Always turn the machine off with the PULSE / OFF
(
)
lever and wait until
the blade or disc comes to a complete stop before removing the pusher
assembly. The motor stops within seconds after the machine has been turned
off.
FOOD PREPARATION
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required.
Remove pits, stones, and large seeds.
• Cut vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc. into sizes that will fit into your choice
of small feed tube or large feed tube for processing with accessory discs, or
into size required by your processing task.
• Preparation for Slicing: Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots,
cucumbers and celery should be cut flat at both ends. This will provide a
consistent slice for all food processed.
