B. CONTINUOUS FEED ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The continuous feed lead serves several functions. Primarily, the lead protects the operator from the cutting plate. When the lead is fully locked in place, the plate is covered and the unit will be ready for operation.

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.

CAUTION: Keep hands out of the feed openings.

The Food Processor is now assembled and ready to perform its desired function. Before continuing the operation-You should completely read the instructions contained in the rest of this manual.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Simply reverse the steps outlined in the assembly instructions with the power cord unplugged from its wall socket.

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 right corner of the motor base. Press the button in to reset the

overload protector.

A. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE

CUTTER BOWL

4. TO CHOP ONIONS, CELERY, CABBAGE, ETC.

Quarter onions, and cut other vegetables into 2 to 3 inch portions. Place the product into the bowl up to 3/ 4 full and pulse the unit until you reach the desired consistency. CAUTION: If you overfill or allow the machine to run continually, the product on the top may not be cut while that on the bottom will be pureed.

5. TO PUREE OR MIX: To puree, make sauces, or to mix and blend, place the ingredients into the bowl (do not overfill), turn the unit on, and allow to run con-

tinuously.

DO NOT allow the machine to run unattended.

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 have a fine powder.
