Using Your Food Processor
Warning!
Never turn the Food Processor off by removing the lid, as
a serious injury can occur from the blades and or discs. Always power
the processor off by using the control buttons and waiting for the blades
to completely stop spinning. If the blades continue to spin while the
switch is off, unplug from the wall outlet and call our customer service
department at 1-800-275-8273. Do not attempt to use the machine
any further.
4
Foods with high moisture content will turn into a fine puree
very quickly. If this is not the result you want, use the PULSE button
in very short increments while watching the result of the
processed food.
5
Should your recipe call for liquid ingredients, or small pieces of food
to be added while chopping, remove the Food Pusher and drop
them through the feed tube and then replace the cover.
6
If processing liquid ingredients by themselves, do not exceed
more than 1 cup of thin liquids and 1 1/2 cups of thick liquids in the
continuous feed lid, or 1.5 cups of thin liquid and 2.5 cups of thick
liquid in the standard lid (optional standard lid must be
purchased separately).
7
To remove the food after you have completed processing, turn the
processor off (see warning under paragraph 3 above), remove the
Cover, remove the Blade/Spindle assembly by lifting straight up and
out of the bowl. Remove the Work Bowl by turning counter-
clockwise and lifting straight up.
Using the Slicing and Shredding Discs
The Slicing and Shredding Discs can be used to process up to 4 cups
of processed food directly into the work bowl, or up to 7 cups into the
optional food hopper (sold separately), or into a tall mixing bowl
or container.

1
Assemble Work Bowl according to instructions
in “Assembling Your Food Processor.”
2
Place the Spindle into the Work Bowl and
push down as far as it will go.
3
Select the reversible Slicing or Shredding
disc. You will notice there are two sides to
each disc, one large, and one small. The
desired cut you are looking for should be
placed facing up onto the Spindle.

Processing Less Than 4 Cups
Warning!
Blades are razor sharp; always handle discs by the white
center rim, not by the blade itself.
4
Place Cover onto Processor Bowl and lock into place. Ensure
that the food chute door is in the down position (closed) to prevent
your ingredients from exiting out the Ejector chute during
processing. See figure 11.
5
Load Food Chute before turning Processor on. It is best to ensure
that the side of food facing the blade is flat to ensure consistency.
6
Always cut and load food flat-side down into the Food Chute. Insert
the Food Pusher into the Food Chute and apply slight pressure while
holding the PULSE button down to process the food. (See “Helpful
Hints” for more processing tips.) When the Food Chute is empty,
release the PULSE button. It’s normal for a small piece of
unprocessed food to be left between the Slicing/Shredding Discs
and Bowl Lid.
7
Remove the Lid, and then remove the Disc before removing the
Work Bowl. Remove the Work Bowl by turning counter-clockwise
to the 3 o’clock position and lifting straight up.
Warning!
Blades are razor sharp; always handle discs by the white
center rim, not by the blade itself.
