If using the reversible shredding disc, determine whether the fine or medium side will be used and use the plastic hub to twist into position on the stem adapter. The plastic hub may be used for removal of this disc. Cover Operation 7. Place the work bowl cover on the work bowl by positioning it directly over the bowls, and push down on the front and back to lock into place. Another way to put the cover on is by latching the back on first and then pushing down on the front to lock into place. Be sure both front and back locks are fully engaged. To remove the cover, push in both sides of the release button (located on the cover interlock) and lift up to remove. Note: The work bowl cover fits, locks and seals on the large bowl with any nested bowl combination. The work bowl cover will become easier to engage with repeated use. 8. Align pusher assembly and activating rod with the feed tube opening on the work bowl cover and slide it down completely. 9. Plug the food processor into a proper electrical outlet. It is now ready for use. Note: The bowl, lid and pushers must be securely in place for the unit to operate. MACHINE CONTROLS On Button The ON control is a continuous button that allows the machine to run until OFF is selected. 1. Properly assemble and engage the machine. 2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through the feed tube or directly into the bowl. 3. Press the ON button. The blue LED light will illuminate and the motor will start. 4. Press the OFF button when finished. Pulse Button The PULSE control is a momentary button that allows the machine to run only while it is being pressed. This capability provides more accurate control of the duration and frequency of processing. Unless otherwise specified, a pulse is about one second. 1. With the machine properly assembled and engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl, press PULSE repeatedly as needed. The blue LED ON light will be illuminated upon activation. WORK BOWLS Two nested work bowls are provided for versatile processing. We recommend using the work bowls in a manner that will optimize efficiency. For example, if your recipe requires using both bowls, begin with the small bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to reserve chopped ingredients for a recipe. A great example of this method is the Cherry Crumb Muffins recipe on page 36. Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while nested. The convenient finger recesses can be used to remove the small bowl with ingredients, or the bowl can remain nested during pouring or food removal. Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of your work bowl. MACHINE FUNCTIONS Chopping (using the Chopping Blade) • For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even, ½- to 1-inch pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces produce the most even results. • Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop, either hold the pulse down or press ON to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency, and scrape the work bowl as necessary. Puréeing (using the Chopping Blade) • To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/ vegetables: Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a smooth purée is achieve most easily when all the pieces are equal in size.

Two nested work bowls are provided for
versatile processing. We recommend using the
work bowls in a manner that will optimize

. For example, if your recipe requires

Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the
work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of
your work bowl.
