CAUTION:

THE CUTTING TOOLS HAVE VERY SHARP
EDGES. To avoid injury when unpacking the

parts, please follow these instructions.

1. Place the box on a low table or on the floor next
to the kitchen counter where you intend to keep
the food processor. Be sure the box is right
side up.

2. Open top flaps – there will be a rectangular
block of packaging material that holds the
processor parts, each fitted into a cavity.

3. Remove the instruction/recipe book and
the metal slicing and shredding discs from
one side.

4. Lift out the packing material.

5. Remove the base and bowl together by grasp­ing the handle and lifting straight up. Do not
rotate the bowl, as this may cause the bowl to
separate from the base.

6. Place the food processor on the counter or
table. Read the instructions thoroughly before
using the machine.

7. Save the shipping cartons and packing
material. You will find them very useful if you
need to repack the processor for moving or
other shipment.

CAREFULLY READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS APPLIANCE.

TECHNICAL DATA

The motor in your food processor operates on
standard line operating current. The appropriate
voltage and frequency for your machine are shown
on the lower housing under the base.

An automatic, temperature-controlled circuit
breaker in the motor ensures complete protection
against motor burnout. If the processor runs for
an exceptionally long time when chopping, mixing
or kneading a thick or heavy mixture in succes­sive batches, the motor may overheat. If this hap­pens, the processor will stop. Turn it off and wait
for the motor to cool before proceeding. It will
usually cool within 10 minutes. In extreme cases,
cooling could take an hour.

Safety switches prevent the machine from
operating when the work bowl or the cover is
not locked into position. The motor stops within
seconds when it has been turned off, and a fast­stop circuit stops it instantly when the pusher
assembly is removed.

OPERATION

1. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other

utensils away from moving blades or discs
while processing food, to prevent the possibil­ity of severe personal injury or damage to food
processor. A plastic scraper may be used,
but only when the food processor motor is
stopped.

before removing cover.

4. Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft.
To reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc
should be placed on the shaft except when
the bowl is properly locked in place and the
processor is in use. Store blades and discs
as you would sharp knives, out of reach
of children.

5. Be sure cover and feed tube are
securely locked in place before operating
food processor.

6. Never try to override or tamper with cover
interlock mechanism.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
AND USE

CHOPPING/MIXING BLADE

The metal chopping blade chops raw and cooked
fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and cheese to the

exact consistency you want, from coarse to fine,
even to a purée. It chops nuts, makes nut but­ters, mayonnaise and sauces, and mixes tender,
flaky pastry. The metal chopping blade also mixes
cakes, frostings, cookies, quick breads, muffins
and biscuits.

1. With the machine properly assembled and
engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl,
turn the dial to desired speed. LOW speed is
recommended for making doughs and batters.
HIGH speed is recommended for most other
chopping, processing, and slicing/shredding
tasks.

2. To use the PULSE feature, assemble
unit as stated above. Turn the dial to the left
Pulse position. The Pulse will
operate for as long as it is held in
position. We recommend 2-second pulsing to
achieve even, controlled chopping and pro­cessing.

3. Wait for the blade to stop spinning. Once
it does, turn the cover counterclockwise to
unlock, and remove by lifting it off.

Remove the bowl from the base of the

machine before removing the blade. Turn the
bowl counterclockwise to unlock from the
base, and lift straight up to remove. To pre­vent the blade from falling from the work bowl
onto your hand when emptying the work bowl,
use the following method: Be sure your hands
are dry. Grab the blade hub and remove the
metal blade before tilting the bowl, using a
spatula to scrape off any food. Carefully lift
the blade out of the work bowl.

REVERSIBLE SLICING/
SHREDDING DISCS

The slicing disc makes whole slices. It slices fruits
and vegetables, cooked meat and semi-frozen
raw meat. The shredding disc shreds most firm
and hard cheeses. It also shreds vegetables like
potatoes, carrots and zucchini.

1. Properly assemble machine and fit with
desired slicing/shredding disc.

2. Trim ingredients to fit the feed tube. Remove
pusher and place ingredients in feed tube.
Best results are achieved when feed tube is
mostly full.

3. Insert the pusher. While using medium
pressure, turn the dial to HIGH speed until all
ingredients have passed into the work bowl.

5

4. Turn the dial to the OFF position
when finished.

5. Remove the pusher and refill ingredients as
needed. Repeat.

NOTE: Always use pusher when slicing or
shredding. Never put your hands in the feed
tube when unit is running.

TIPS FOR EASY USE

• It is recommended that you practice
with your food processor before starting your
first recipe.

• For best results when chopping, food should
be cut into 1-inch uniform pieces.

• Another tip for chopping/processing is to use
the Pulse feature. This way you are able to
control how fine or coarse your results will be.

• Using the Pulse chopping technique, you get
an even chop without overprocessing. Check
the texture frequently by looking through
the cover. If you want a finer chop, continue
pulsing until you achieve the desired texture.

• Onions and other foods with a high water
content will quickly end up as a purée unless
carefully pulsed to make sure they are not
overprocessed.

• Do not overfill work bowl. For thin mixtures
like a batter, the bowl should be filled no more
than ¹∕ ³ to ½ full. For thicker mixtures like
pureés, fill the work bowl ¾ full. For chopping,
fill the work bowl no more than halfway.

• When slicing or shredding, foods should first
be cut to fit the feed tube. For best results,
food should fit snugly, but not so tightly that it
prevents the pusher from moving.

• For longer shreds or slices, food should
be placed horizontally in the feed tube. For
shorter shreds or slices, place food vertically
in feed tube.

• Soft cheeses, like mozzarella, should be
placed in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden
slightly before shredding.

Important: Never tr y to slice sof t cheeses

like mozzarella.

For purées

• Cut food into 1-inch, uniform pieces.

• Pulse to chop coarsely, then turn to HIGH
speed and process continuously until food is
puréed. (NOTE: Cooked white potatoes are an

exception to this procedure. They develop a
gluey texture when processed with the metal
blade. If you wish to use the food processor
to make mashed potatoes, shred the cooked
potatoes using the fine shredding disc.)

Chopping hard cheese

• To chop hard cheese like Parmesan, cut
cheese into ½-inch cubes. Pulse about 5
times to break up, then process on HIGH
speed until finely chopped.

Important: Never tr y to process cheese

that is too hard to cut with a knife. You
may damage the blade or the machine.

Chopping fresh herbs

• Thoroughly dry the herbs, work bowl and
metal chopping blade. Remove stems from
herbs. Add leaves to bowl and pulse to chop.

Chopping meat

• The food should be very cold, but not frozen.

• Cut into 1-inch pieces to ensure an even chop.
Process no more than 12 ounces at one time.
Pulse until evenly chopped. Check the texture
often to avoid overprocessing.

Chopping nuts

• Chop no more than 1 cup at a time.

• Pulse to chop, checking frequently to avoid
nuts clumping together in a nut butter.

• To make nut butters, process up to 1 cup at a
time on HIGH speed until smooth, stopping to
scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

To make crumbs and crumb crusts

• Cut or break bread, crackers or cookies into
1-inch pieces and place in work bowl. Turn to
HIGH speed and process continuously until
pieces reach the desired texture.

To make bread dough

• The unit is designed to mix and knead dough
in a fraction of the time it takes to do it by
hand. You will get per fect results every time if
you follow these tips:

NOTE: Recommended maximum amount of

flour is 2½ cups or 1½ cups of whole-grain
flour. If a bread dough calls for more than
the recommended amounts of flour, mix and
knead it in equal batches.

• The basics of preparing bread dough in
the food processor are to process the dry
ingredients in the work bowl, and to very
