The food processor will not start until the collar, work bowl and
work bowl lid are locked into place. Nevertheless, always unplug
the unit before placing hands into the food processor bowl.
Note: The motor base will start, but the food processor blade will
not turn until assembled properly.
The reversible slicing/shredding disc can slice and shred a vari-
ety of fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses. See Quick
Reference guide for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding,
page 12.

OPERATING CONTROLS
Your SmartPower Premier Duet
appliance uses the high speed
with the Food Processor attachment. This button is the perfect
speed for all your food processing tasks. Always use this speed
when using the food processor. You may also use the Pulse
button set on High with this function for pulse-chopping.
To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled
properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are
locked into place.
When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each
button you press.
Press the On button. For continuous operation, press the High
button. Motor will start if you have followed assembly instructions.
To turn motor off, press the High button again or the Off button.
For on-off operation, called pulse-chopping or pulsing, press the On
button, press the Pulse button, and then press and release the High
button the desired number of times. Motor runs as long as you hold
the High button down. The motor stops when you release control
switch. Try it a few times.
You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of
time you hold the High button down and the rate at which you press
it. Allow enough time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall
to bottom.
