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 PRO-
CESSING 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 over-
loaded 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.

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.

unattended.

The cutter bowl attachment is used for grinding, pu­reeing, blending, mixing, of ingredients. With the

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

meats, cheese, etc., fill the bowl 2/3 to 3/4 full with
portions no larger than 1 to 2 inch square. Press the

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.

the bowl and pulse the machine. For powdered
