TIPS WHEN USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO SLICE AND SHRED 1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base in the usual way. (See page 8.) 2. Use moderate pressure to push down on food with pusher button, with one hand, while using your other hand to push the Low or High button. Slicing and shredding only take a few seconds. 3. Wait until disc stops spinning before removing cover. When it stops, remove cover before removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this could damage work bowl. 4. Remove slicing/shredding disc before removing work bowl. To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight up. Holding work bowl collar, turn work bowl counterclockwise and lift it straight up to remove it from base. TRAVEL CUP OPERATION 1. The travel cups use the same blade assembly as the blender jar. Put food ingredients into the travel cup, and then attach blade assembly. 2. Place the blender base on the tabletop and plug in the power cord. Turn the filled travel cup upside down and place it on the base, aligning the 4 tabs on the travel cup rim with the 4 openings on the blender base. Using both hands, firmly push down on the cup, and turn it clockwise to lock into place. NOTE: To ensure cup is properly installed, check to see that the small black button in the back-left tab opening is fully visible. 6. Turn cup right side up, turn blade assembly counterclockwise to remove. Attach travel cup lid by twisting clockwise.

Then put a portion of the reserved cooking liquid into the blender jar along with the cooked solids. Blend on Low until desired consistency/purée is reached. • Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam buildup, which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar. When blending hot foods, remove the measured pour lid and hold lid down with a dishtowel in hand to hold in place. • Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit purées on hand to substitute for plain ice when making smoothies and frosty beverages to prevent diluting the drink. • Keep your blender out on the counter within easy reach, and you will be surprised how often you will use it. • For quick cleaning, add 1 cup of warm water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar. Cover and run on Low or High for 15 to 30 seconds, or more as needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse blender thoroughly before the next use. 3. Press the ON/OFF button and then the desired speed or function. The blue LED light will illuminate, indicating that the blender is on and running. It is possible to switch between speeds by simply pushing the desired speed button. • When using the travel cups, ingredients should be added in the reverse order of a regular blender jar - solids first, then liquids. 4. To pause the blending process, press the activated speed or pre-programmed button. The blending process will stop. The red Standby indicator light will continue to flash to let you know that the blender is still activated. To re-engage the unit, choose the desired speed. 5. When you have finished blending, press the ON/OFF button. Remove the travel cup from the base by pressing down firmly, and turning counterclockwise. Unplug the unit. 10
