Assembling Your Food
Processor
1
Be sure the unit is unplugged. Put the bowl on the food processor
motor base with the handle towards your right. Press down and turn
the handle counter-clockwise until the bowl clicks into place.
2
Select the appropriate attachment and assemble onto food
processor as directed on pages 6-7. Place food or dough in bowl if
using multipurpose blade, dough blade or emulsifying blade.
3
Place the lid on the bowl and turn counter-clockwise until the lid
clicks into place.
Note: Your food processor features a safety interlock system. The
unit will not operate unless the bowl and bowl cover are properly
aligned and locked into place.
4
Plug unit into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. Turn the unit on by
pressing the green on/off button. Use the food pusher when using
the slicing or shredding disks. Press the food down slowly and
steadily with the pusher.
5
To stop your food processor, press the green button to the OFF
position. Wait until the blade or disc comes to a complete stop
before removing the lid or bowl.
Using the Food Pusher
The feed tube on the bowl can be used to add ingredients to the bowl
for processing. Use the food pusher to push ingredients through the
feed tube. You can also use the pusher to seal off the feed tube while
the appliance is running to prevent dust from entering or foods/liquids
from escaping.
Using PULSE Control
You can control the texture of processed foods better by using the
PULSE button on your food processor. The button is located on the
handle near the feed tube, when unit is assembled. Press and release
to quickly turn the food processor on and off. For longer processing,
continue pressing the PULSE button. The green button should NOT be
in the ON position when using the Pulse feature.

Slicing and Shredding Disks
Use these disks for slicing and shredding meats, fruits, vegetables,
cheeses and more.
Put the bowl on the housing and position the disk post onto the drive
shaft. Turn post counter-clockwise to lock into place. Carefully attach
the disk onto the disk post. Lock the lid on the bowl. Turn machine on by
pressing the green button. Put ingredients in the feed tube and press
the food pusher lightly onto the ingredients.
IMPORTANT:
Use GENTLE force to press down on the food pusher.
Excessive force could cause damage to the disk.
•
Press the ingredients down slowly and steadily with the pusher.
•
Precut large chunks of food to fit the size of the feed tube.
•
For best results, fill the feed tube evenly.
•
When processing large quantities, process small batches at a time
and empty the bowl between batches.
Dough Blade
Use the dough blade for kneading bread dough and for mixing batters
and cake mixtures. Use with recipes that call for 4 to 5 cups flour.
Put the bowl on the housing and fit the dough blade onto the drive
shaft. Put ingredients into bowl. Fasten the lid onto the bowl and put the
pusher in the feed tube. Press the green ON/OFF button to start
processing. Most doughs and batters will take about 1 - 3 minutes.
Emulsifying Blade
The emulsifying blade makes it easy to combine ingredients that would
normally be tough to mix. Use the blade when making vinegar and oil
salad dressings, mayonnaise and hollandaise sauce. The emulsifying
blade also works great for whipping eggs and meringues.
Put the bowl on the housing and fit the emulsifying blade onto the drive
shaft. Put ingredients into bowl. Fasten the lid onto the bowl and put the
pusher in the feed tube to prevent splattering. Press the green ON/OFF
button to start processing
