IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt
to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should

be done only

by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be

provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used.

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.

unit without container and cover correctly locked in place. Be sure base is on a
flat, dry, clean surface before you begin processing.

SLICING/SHREDDING DISCS

Either the slice/shred disc or the extra-thin slice/fine shred disc may be used for
slicing or shredding, depending on consistency desired.

1. Place container over center post in base with handle at left.
Turn container toward base until it drops down into place.
Turn container counterclockwise until it locks into place
(Handle aligns with HIGH speed button) (A).

2. Place the disc stem onto the center post in the container,
then grasp the slice/shred disc by its hub and push it down
onto the disc stem.

For slicing - Slicing blade is raised (B).
For shredding – Shredding holes are raised (C).

DOUGH BLADE (G)
IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions under "CHOPPING BLADE" to install and

remove the dough blade.

1. The dough blade can be used to make yeast breads, pizza
dough, or yeast rolls that are made with 3 cups (750 ml)
of flour or more. Use the 2 dough recipes in this manual as
a guide when making bread or pizza dough. Be sure to add
liquid ingredients slowly as the dough will not form
properly if liquid is added too fast.

2. You may have to stop the unit at times to scrape down the sides of the
processing bowl.

3. Do NOT use the dough blade to make pie crust. Use the chopping blade for
pie pastry (see recipes).

Bread Making Tips for the Dough Blade

1. For best results, use ingredients at room temperature and be sure the butter
is soft.

2. Check the date on the yeast package to be sure it hasn’t expired. Measure flour
accurately by spooning it into a measuring cup designed for dry ingredients.
Level it off with the straight side of a knife or metal spatula. Do not pack flour
by tapping the cup when measuring.

Note: Maximum amount of flour to be used is 6 cups (1500 ml) of all-purpose or
bread flour or 3 1/2 cups (875 ml) of whole grain flour.

3. You may use bread flour, if you’d prefer. Breads will be taller.

FOOD PROCESSING TIPS
Liquids

• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.

• Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 2 cups or less at a time. Larger
amounts will leak from container.

Dry Ingredients

• When preparing cookie, cake batter or quick bread, use the chopping blade to
cream butter or shortening and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts
and fruits on top of dry ingredients to prevent over chopping. Process using
short pulses until blended. Do not over process.

Meat

• When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into
1" (2.54cm) cubes. Do not put more than 1/2 lb. (227g) of meat into the
container at a time. Chop on pulse to the size desired.

Food Size, Preparation and Loading

•When using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist
ingredients later. This reduces the number of times container must be washed
and dried.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.

Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or discs. They are
permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.

CLEANING

1. Before cleaning, be sure unit is off and cord is unplugged.

2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.

3. Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can
be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Do not immerse base in liquid.

4. All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.

• If washing by hand, wash in sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
If necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean container
and food chute.

• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only.
