Operation Manual
The continuous feed lead, with the pushers in place,
provides protection from the cutting plate. When the
lead is turned to its closed position with the ramp in
place over the pin, a safety switch is activated, and
the machine can be turned on and off by use of the
push buttons. If the lead is not in the closed position,
the buttons will not function.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THE SAFETY SWITCH MECHANISM.
ALWAYS USE THE OFF AND ON BUTTONS TO OPERATE THE MACHINE.
The Food Processor is now assembled and ready
to perform its desired function.
BEFORE CONTINUING YOU SHOULD
COMPLETELY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
The continuous feed lead has two feed openings, one
large and one small, with matching pushers. The food
is inserted in the chosen opening by removing the
pusher with one hand and then depositing the food
into the chute with the other hand. The pusher should
then be used to push the food through the opening.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Simply reverse
the steps outlined in the assembly instructions with
the power cord unplugged from its wall socket.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE CONTINUOUS
FEED LEAD BEFORE REMOVING THE
CONTINUOUS FEED ATTACHMENT.
OTHERWISE, THE SAFETY PIN CAN BE
BROKEN, PREVENTING MACHINE OPERATION.
III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE UNIT SHOULD BE OFF EXCEPT WHEN PROCESSING IS UNDERWAY.
It is recommended that the machine be operated on
a 50% duty cycle. This is easily accomplished since
the preparation time (cleaning, coring, peeling, and
loading) takes longer than the processing time. This
will yield the longest life for your machine.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with manual reset
thermal overload protection. If the machine is overloaded or run too long under heavy load conditions,
the overload will trip. If this occurs, first remove the
bowl and reduce the amount of food being processed.
The reset button is located on the bottom of the motor base. Press the button in to reset the overload
protector.
DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINE TO RUN
UNATTENDED.
A. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE
CUTTER BOWL
The cutter bowl attachment is used for grinding, pureeing, blending, mixing, of ingredients. With the
power switch off and the bowl and blade secured in
place (per previous instructions), you are now ready
to add product to the bowl. There are two ways to
run your machine. Chopping, using a quick start/stop
action with the pulse button, or running continuously
for a fine chop or puree.
1. TO CHOP
To achieve a chopped consistency for vegetables,
meats, cheese, etc., fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full with
portions no larger than 1 to 2 inch square. Press the
pulse button until the desired consistency is reached.
If the motor stalls, reduce the amount of product in
the bowl.
2. TO PUREE OR FINE CHOP: For a fine puree,
emulsification, or fine chop, fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full
with portions no larger than 1 to 1 1/2 inches square.
Begin by pulsing the machine to reduce the size then,
press the on button, and allow the machine to run
until the product is finely chopped or pureed. Some
purees may require the addition of a liquid to obtain
the correct consistency.
3. TO CHOP HARD CHEESE: Place uniform 1 to 1
1/2 cubes of chilled cheese up to 1 1/2 pounds into
the bowl and pulse the machine. For powdered
cheese pulse the motor until the cheese is about pea
size then allow the motor to run continuously until you
