Maintaining the food processor in good working condi­tion is one of the most important measures to be taken.
Inspect the machine and all parts regularly to make

Discard any food processed at the time of
a malfunction and have the machine inspected and

manual. Contact one of these service agencies for all
of your service, parts, and accessory requirements.

safety in mind. We suggest that a pair of
cut-resistant gloves be worn when han­dling the cutting plates.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

R4X and R6X Operation Manual

1 Place the motor base assembly at a comfortable

height on a sturdy work surface. Remove the plastic
discharge plate from inside the continuous feed at­tachment. Place the continuous feed attachment on
the motor base with the release button at front center
of the motor base assembly (see drawing). Rotate
the attachment counterclockwise until it locks into
place with a snap action. When the attachment is in
the proper position, it should be level with the top sur­face of the motor base assembly. NOTE: The ma­chine will not operate correctly unless the continuous
feed attachment is fully seated and secured in place.

2 Place the discharge plate on the motor shaft with
the appropriate side up. Use the side with the small
straight fins for all julienne cuts or other delicate cuts.
The large finned side may be used for dicing or shred­ding. The product will not exit the machine without
the discharge plate.

Warning: The plates are sharp. Always use cau­tion and we suggest that a pair of cut-resistant
gloves be worn when handling the plates and
grids.

4 IF YOU ARE PREPARING TO USE A DICING

OR FRENCH FRY KIT:

NOTE: The recessed rim on the continuous feed at­tachment must be free from product and clean so the
grid can be firmly seated. The discharge plate must

be in the machine or the product will not exit.

With the tab on the plastic grid aligned with the cutout
in the Continuous Feed Attachment, place the plastic
grid onto the recessed rim of the continuous feed at­tachment. Put the slicing plate on top of the dicing
grid with the stem of the plate DOWN. Rotate the
plate until the cutout in the stem drops into place on
the motor shaft pin. Continue rotating the plate a full
turn. If rubbing occurs, DO NOT PROCEED-call your
service agency. The rim on the plate when properly
installed should be slightly above the surface of the
continuous feed attachment.

5 Place the continuous feed lead on the continuous
feed attachment and secure in place with the holding
pin. The lead should fit flush on the continuous feed
attachment. Close the lead and lock the latch.

3 IF YOU ARE PREPARING TO SLICE, GRATE,
OR JULIENNE: Place the plate of your choice on the
motor shaft and turn it clockwise until it drops into
place and is fully seated. The top of the plate should
be just above the surface of the continuous feed at­tachment. Proceed to step 5.

6. Place the pushers in their corresponding open­ings in the continuous feed lead.

7. DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE UN­LESS IT IS PROPERLY ASSEMBLED AND
THE CONTINUOUS FEED LEAD IS FULLY
SEATED AND CENTERED OVER THE
ATTACHMENT!
