Before First Use
• When unpacking the product and removing packing material, handle the
Chopping Blade, and Slice/Shred Disc carefully; they are very sharp.
• Wash all parts except the Base. Be sure to read this Use & Care Book, paying
special attention to the sections on "How to Use" and "Care and Cleaning" to
learn the correct methods for taking the unit apart and cleaning.
How To Use – English
NOTE ABOUT USAGE: Do not attempt to chop ice in this food processor; it will
damage the Bowl and dull the 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.
IMPORTANT: For your protection, this unit has an Interlock System so the
processor won't operate unless the Bowl is locked onto the Base and the Cover
is correctly locked onto the Bowl. Be sure the Bowl Handle is turned fully onto
the Base so that the Handle lines up over the Signal Light. Do not attempt to
operate the unit without the Cover being correctly in place. Be sure the Base and
the Base is on a flat, dry, clean surface before you begin processing.
How to Slice or Shred
1. Place the Bowl over the Center Post in the
Base with the Handle at the left. Turn the
Bowl towards the right until it drops down
into place. Snap the Bowl in so that the
Handle lines up straight over the Signal
Light; be sure it locks into place (A).
2. Slide the Disc Stem onto the Center Post in
the Bowl, then carefully grasp the
Slice/Shred Disc (it's sharp!!!) with the
desired side (Slice or Shred) up and push it
down onto the Disc Stem.
3. Place the Cover onto the Bowl so that the
Food Chute is just to the right of the Bowl
Handle. Twist the Food Chute/Cover
toward LOCK until you hear it click into
place (B).
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Use
the Food Guide to help you prepare food
for slice/shred processing. Fill the Food
Chute with food and position the Pusher
over the food. If you load rounder foods
(such as carrots or cucumbers) vertically,
the Food Fingers will help keep them from
tilting for even slicing.

5. Press down lightly but firmly on the Food Pusher while pressing the Pulse (or
press ON for continuous processing). NOTE: Let the Processor do the work.
Heavy pressure will not speed operation. Do not use the Processor
continuously for more than 3 minutes at a time.
6. After processing food, release the Pulse, or if you were using continuous ON,
press Pulse/OFF. Allow the Disc to stop rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover
toward UNLOCK to remove the Cover.
7. Grasp the Disc and lift out. Carefully pull out the Disc Stem, unlock the Bowl by
turning the Handle to the left, and lift the Bowl off.
How To Chop
The Chopping Blade speeds up many everyday tasks and is designed to chop,
crumb, grind, mince and mix quickly.
1. Place the Bowl over the Center Post in the Base with the Handle at the left.
Turn the Bowl towards the right until it drops down into place. Snap the Bowl
in so that the Handle lines up straight over the Signal Light; be sure it locks into
place (A).
2. Grasp the Chopping Blade by its center shaft and slide it
down onto the Center Post. (C)
3. Place the Cover onto the Bowl so that the Food Chute is
just to the right of the Bowl Handle. Twist the Food
Chute/Cover toward LOCK until you hear it click into place
(B).
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Use the Food Guide
to help you prepare food for chopping/mincing/mixing and
crumbing.
5. Press Pulse (or ON for continuous operation). When
pulsing, hold the Pulse position for about 2-3 seconds:
check results; repeat for desired consistency. It is better to
use several short operations rather than a single long one unless mixing
ingredients that require longer processing times.
6. After processing food, release the Pulse, or if you were using continuous ON,
press Pulse/OFF. Allow the Disc to stop rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover
toward UNLOCK to remove the Cover.
7. Grasp the Chopping Blade by its shaft and remove. Unlock the Bowl by turning
the Handle to the left, and lift the Bowl off. Empty the processed food.
How to Use the Dough Blade
IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions under "How to Chop" to install and remove
the Dough Blade.
1. The Dough Blade can be used to make yeast breads, pizza dough, or yeast
rolls. Use the 2 dough recipes in this manual as a guide when making bread or
pizza dough. Be sure to add liquid ingredients slowly as the dough will not
form properly if liquid is added too fast.
2. You may have to stop the unit at times to scrape down the sides of the
processing Bowl.
