IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

O Read all instructions.
To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.
○ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
○ Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
○ Avoid contacting moving parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
○ Do not use outdoors.
○ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used, but must be used only when the food processor is not running.
- Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without first putting bowl properly in place.
○ Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
○ Never feed food by hand. Always use food pusher.
○ Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

○ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
The maximum rated wattage for this product was obtained with the dough-blade. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power or current.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

2. Hold food chute and rotate cover counterclockwise until cover locks into place.

3. Place the multifunctional feed chute into the food chute on top of the cover with the small single clear plastic arm facing the handle on the workbowl. Push down until the feed chute rests at the bottom of the food chute.

Important: For your protection this appliance has an interlock system. The processor will not operate unless the cover and multifunctional feed chute is properly locked in place.

1. Insert the food pusher into the central tube of the wide mouth feed chute. The pusher is used to guide foods through the multifunctional feed chute and can be removed when adding liquid or additional foods while the processor is running.
2. To use the large food chute place the foods to be processed into the large opening of the food chute. Place the multifunctional feed chute with the food pusher in place over the food and guide the food through the chute.

Important: The large food chute is best used with the slicing/shredding disc in place.

CONTROLS

The controls are located on the front of the base. Press DOUGH, SLICE/SHRED, or CHOP to select a function (D). (See directions below.)

PULSE/STOP

• Processor should be stored in OFF position and unplugged when not in use.
  • Use PULSE for short processing tasks.
• The PULSE button must be pressed and held for the appliance to operate. When released the appliance will stop. Do not use the PULSE button longer than 2 minutes.
• The motor of the processor runs as long as this button is held down. Press the button down and then release; allow the blades to stop running and the food to fall to the bottom of the workbowl before pressing again.
• Pulsing gives better control when chopping, mincing, mixing and blending foods. You can control the size of the foods from coarse to fine.

DOUGH, SLICE/SHRED, or CHOP

- When these functions are selected the processor will run continuously until the PULSE/STOP button is pressed.

• These speeds are used for chopping, blending, dressings, sauces and making batters and doughs.

HOW TO CHOP IN THE LARGE WORKBOWL

The chopping blade is used to coarsely or finely chop, mince, mix and puree foods to a smooth consistency. Use the workbowl to chop fresh and cooked fruits and vegetables, cooked and raw meats, fish and poultry; to make sauces, dressings and salsas; to make pastry, cookie and cracker crumbs.

1. Lock workbowl with post with interlocking safety latch in place into position (see Illustration B).

1. Hold large chopping blade by center shaft and insert onto center post (E). Note: The blade attachments are very sharp. Use caution when handling and storing.
2. Place food in workbowl.

3. Place cover on workbowl and lock into place by rotating cover clockwise (See Illustration C).

4. Place the multifunctional feed chute and food pusher in place in food chute. Never use your fingers to direct food through chute.

5. Press CHOP button.

Note: Process foods no more than a few seconds at a time. Pulsing produces excellent results and offers greater control.
7. To add food or liquid while processor is running, remove food pusher and insert through the multifunctional feed chute. Replace food pusher in chute.

Important: Be sure chopping blade has completely stopped spinning before removing cover from processor.

1. When finished, press the OFF/PULSE button and allow blades to stop revolving before removing cover. Twist cover toward 0 to remove.
2. To unlock workbowl, turn it clockwise toward and lift off base.

Note: Remove workbowl from appliance before removing blade to prevent food from leaking through the center opening of the workbowl.

1. Carefully remove chopping blade and empty workbowl.
2. Unplug appliance when not in use.

HOW TO CHOP IN THE SMALL WORKBOWL

The small workbowl is perfect for small chopping and blending.

1. With the large bowl in place (see steps 1 and 2 under HOW TO CHOP IN THE LARGE WORKBOWL) without the large cutting blade, insert the small bowl onto the center post fitting the 3 tabs on the outside of the bowl into the notches on the large bowl that will hold the small bowl firmly in place.

1. Holding the small cutting blade by the white plastic top and keeping fingers away from the cutting blades, firmly press the blades over the center post until the lower blade rests on the bottom of the bowl. (The notches on the center post should match the openings on the blade handle.) (F).

HELPFUL TIPS FOR CHOPPING AND BLENDING

• The processor works very quickly.
• Watch carefully to avoid over-processing foods.
• The PULSE button offers the best control and results.
• For best results, process foods that are about the same size.
• Do not overload the bowl.
• Never walk away from the processor while it is on.
• Use hot but never boiling liquids.
- Do not process more than 3 cups liquid in the large workbowl at one time.
- To process meal, use no more than 2 cups of 34 -inch cubes and process using PULSE in 5 second intervals.

- The large workbowl has a capacity of 18 oz for liquid and 8 cups for dry foods; the small workbowl can process up to 3 cups..

- Use a funnel inserted into the feed chute when adding ingredients such as, oil, flour and sugar.

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

This blade makes preparing dough efficient and time saving.

1. This blade does not extend to the outside rim of the workbowl so it cannot incorporate flour when very small amounts of flour are being processed.
   Note: Use the metal blade for pastry and mixtures that contain less 2 cups of flour.
2. Push dough blade down onto center post into workbowl as far as it will go.
3. Insert all the dry ingredients into the workbowl.
4. Place cover on workbowl. Add multi-functional food chute and food pusher. Process to blend using the DOUGH function button.

5. With appliance running, add liquids through the small food chute.

6. When finished, press the PULSE/STOP button and allow blades to stop revolving before removing cover. Twist cover toward 📄 to remove.

7. To unlock workbowl, turn it clockwise toward and lift off base.

Note: Remove workbowl from appliance before removing blade to prevent food from leaking through the center opening of the workbowl.

1. Carefully remove chopping blade and empty workbowl.

2. Unplug appliance when not in use.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING THE DOUGH BLADE

- For best results do not prepare recipes using more than 3 ½ cups flour.

- Begin with 1 cup less than the maximum amount of flour and add additional flour, as needed, once mixture is well blended.

- Pour liquid through food chute in a slow steady stream..

• Knead dough no longer than 1 minute.

• Do not leave processor unattended during operation.

SLICING OR SHREDDING INTO LARGE WORKBOWL

Use the SLICE/SHRED function to slice and shred cheese, vegetables and fruit.

1. Lock large workbowl into position (see Illustration B).

2. Inserting your fingers into the 3 large holes on the disc with desired side up, place disc stem onto center post in workbowl.

3. Carefully place the slicing/shredding disc on stem with appropriate side up for work to be done. Place disc with shredding or slicing blade just to the left of the food chute to allow the disc one full rotation before coming in contact with the food.

4. Place cover on workbowl and lock into place by rotating cover counterclockwise (see Illustration C).

1. For larger foods, place food in food chute and cover with multifunctional feed chute with food pusher in place. For smaller foods, place multifunctional food chute in place and feed food through the center opening using the food pusher to guide the food through the chute (G).
2. Press SLICE/SI HRED button; press lightly but firmly on multifunctional feed chute or food pusher to guide food through processor.

Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher only as a guide. Let the processor do the work

1. When finished, press the PULSE/STOP button and allow disc to stop revolving before removing cover. Twist cover toward 📄to remove.
2. Carefully remove slicing/shredding disc, unlock workbowl by turning it clockwise toward ( ) and lift off base.
3. Empty workbowl.
4. Unplug appliance when not in use.

SLICING OR SHREDDING INTO SMALL WORKBOWL

Use the SLICE/SHRED function to slice and shred cheese, vegetables and fruit.

1. Lock large workbowl into position (see Illustration B).
2. Place disc stem onto center post in workbowl.
3. Insert the small bowl onto the center post fitting the 3 tabs on the outside of the bowl into the notches on the large bowl that will hold the small bowl firmly in place.

4. Carefully place the slice/shred disc on stem with appropriate side up for work to be done. Place disc with shredding or slicing blade just to the left of the food chute to allow the disc one full rotation before coming in contact with the food.

5. Place cover on workbowl and lock into place by rotating cover counterclockwise (see Illustration C).

6. Follow steps 6 through 10 for slicing and shredding in the large workbowl.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SLICING AND SHREDDING

• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the processor cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in feed chute.
  • Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing.
• Select foods that are firm and not over ripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables cut them just short of the length of the food chute; this will allow the pusher to engage the interlock mechanism on the processor. Stand them vertically in the food chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.
  • Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.
• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding.
  • After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop.
• Remove the slicing/shredding disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. Place the disc on top of the inverted workbowl cover.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR USING THE PROCESSOR

• Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.
• Once workbowl cover has been removed from the processor place it upside down to hold the blades or discs to keep counter clean.
• Although plastic parts of the processor are dishwasher safe, wash them by hand to retain their clear appearance.
• To easily clean the workbowl, once empty add a drop of detergent and a little hot water and pulse several times. Rinse before re-using.
  • The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than 12 to 34 full.
• To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the food chute with the processor running.
• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and slightly more pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted into the food.
• When chopping sticky dried fruits, place the fruits in the freezer for about 10 minutes and add a little flour to keep the pieces from sticking together.
• Chill soft cheeses before slicing and shredding to prevent the cheese from rolling into a ball on the disc.

• When using the slicing / shredding disc do not let the food accumulate too high; stop and empty the workbowl.
  • Do not use the processor to:

• Grind bones, grains or hard spices

• Liquefy fruits and vegetables
• Slice or chop warm meat and hard cooked eggs.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. Important: Always press PULSE /STOP button then unplug your juice extractor from the outlet before cleaning.

CLEANING

• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleaning.
- Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.
- All removable parts can be washed by hand or in dishwasher. Hand-washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor's appearance.
- If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hoal soapy water and rapidly raise and lower cutting blades and discs up and down on the center shaft.
- If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only—not in or near utensil basket.
- Some stainings of paras may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.
- Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts to clean.
- Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.
- Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.
- If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.
