Product may vary slightly from what is illustrated. How to Use This product is for household use only.

• Before first use, unpack the product and remove packing material. Handle sharp chopping blade and slice/shred discs carefully.

• Wash all parts except base. Note: Do not attempt to chop ice in this food processor; it will damage container and dull chopping blade. This unit will not whip cream, beat egg whites to a desirable volume, grind coffee beans or spices with a high oil content, or slice or shred hard-cooked eggs, marshmallows, or soft cheeses. CONTROLS OFF — Processor should always be left in OFF position when unit is not in use. PULSE — PULSE button must be pressed and held for unit to operate. When released, unit will stop. Use PULSE for short processing tasks, such as chopping nuts, raw meats, or vegetables. This lets you check processed results and control the fineness. Using the Food Processor IMPORTANT: For your protection this unit has an interlock system. When you slip the bowl over the post, turn it toward the base so that it locks into place. Be sure to turn the cover (or chopping lid, depending on use) toward the lock position so that the Tab locks into the slot on the Base (A). This unit will not operate unless the cover (or chopping lid) is locked into place. How to slice or shred

1. Slip the bowl over the center post and twist it toward the base so that the bowl locks

2. Carefully grasp the slice/shred disc by the hub or its edges with the desired side (slice or

shred) up, and push it down onto the top of the discharge disc. Slip the discharge disc (with slice/shred disc) over the center post.

3. Place the cover with continuous flow chute onto the bowl and twist it toward the base

() until you hear it click into place (A). Position a large, low serving/preparation bowl under the continuous flow chute to catch food and spatter. Rimless bowls work better than bowls with a lip.

4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

5. Use the food guide to help you prepare food for slicing or

shredding. Fill the food chute and position the food pusher over the food.

6. Push down with a light but steady pressure on the food

pusher while pressing the desired speed: Hi, Low (B). Press and hold the pulse position for short processing tasks, such as slicing a cucumber. The unit will stop when you release the pulse button. Use the Hi, Low, position for continuous, longer processing tasks, such as shredding cabbage or carrots. NOTE: Let the processor do the work. Heavy pressure will not speed up operation. Do not use the processor continuously for more than 3 minutes at a time. Occasionally turn the serving bowl during processing to prevent food build up in the continuous flow chute that could fall out of the bowl. Be sure the processor and bowl are far enough back on the counter to prevent bits from falling on the floor. LOCK

7. After processing food, turn the unit “off” by pressing on the elevated end of the rocker

“lever” so that it will be even with the top of the unit in the “Off” position or release the pulse button. Allow the disc to stop spinning completely before you remove the cover with Continuous flow chute by turning it toward the ( ) position and lifting it off. Chopping Blade The chopping blade speeds up many everyday tasks and is designed to chop, crumb, grind, mince and mix quickly.

1. Slip the bowl over the center post and twist it toward the

base to be sure the bowl locks into place.

2. Grasp the chopping blade by its center hub and slide it

down onto the post (C).

3. Use the food guide to help you prepare food for chopping/

mincing/mixing and crumbing, then place the food into the bowl. Place the chopping lid onto the bowl and twist it toward the base until you hear it click into place.

4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

5. Use the Hi or Low for longer processing tasks to make salad dressing, dips, or baby

food. Use the pulse position for short processing like chopping nuts or crumbing bread. Hold the pulse position for about 2-3 seconds: check results; repeat for desired consistency. It is better to use several short pulses rather than a single long one unless mixing ingredients that require longer processing times.

6. After processing food, turn the unit “off” by pressing on the elevated end of the rocker

“lever” so that it will be even with the top of the unit in the “Off” position or release the pulse button. Let the chopping blade stop spinning before you twist the chopping lid off.

7. Grasp the chopping blade by its hub and remove. Unlock the bowl by twisting it off the

base. Empty the processed food.

• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.

• Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 2 cups or less at a time. Larger amounts will leak from container. Food Size, Preparation and Loading

• When preparing cookie, cake batter or quick bread, use the chopping blade to cream butter or shortening and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruits on top of dry ingredients to prevent over-chopping. Process using short pulses until blended. Do not overprocess. Meat

• When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into 1" (2.54cm) cubes. Do not put more than 1/2 lb. (230g) of meat into the container at a time. Chop on pulse to the size desired. Dry Ingredients

• When using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients later. This reduces the number of times container must be washed and dried. UNLOCK Care and Cleaning This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or the reversible slice/shred disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening. Cleaning

1. Before cleaning, be sure the unit is Off and unplugged.

2. Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup. Removable parts can be

washed by hand or in a dishwasher, top rack.

• If washing by hand, use warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a small bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl, cover with continuous flow chute, chopping blade, and slice/shred disc.

• In a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only — not in or near the utensil basket.

3. Wipe the base with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly. Remove stubborn spots

with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the base in liquid.

4. Do not use rough scouring pads, abrasives, or cleansers on any parts.

5. Do not fill the bowl with boiling water or place any parts in boiling water. Some foods,

such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove stains, make a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and two tablespoons warm water. Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse in sudsy water and dry.
