Slicing And
Shredding Less
Than 3 Cups
Of Food
1. Assemble clear work
bowl on base in usual
way.
2. Pick up adapter stem.
Note that round base
is notched at one end.
Center section is hexag-
onal (six-sided) and top
section is flat on both
sides.
Hold stem firmly by flat
top and push it down as
far as it will go on motor
shaft.
3. Hold slicing or shredding
disc with its longer collar
down (the side that
reads “THIS SIDE
DOWN”). Always han-
dle slicing or shredding
discs by rims. Never
touch sharp cutting
blades.
Slide disc over stem and
push it down until its
center collar is flush with
hexagonal section of
stem.
4. Put cover on work bowl,
lock it into place and
insert food in feed tube.
(If you are slicing, first
cut one end of food flat.
Place in feed tube flat
side down.) See page 11
for guidelines on how to
get consistent slices and
shreds.
5. Insert pusher. Use mod-
erate pressure to push
down on pusher with one
hand while holding con-
trol switch in PULSE
position with other hand
until food is sliced or
shredded. This will only
take a few seconds.
Wait until disc stops
spinning before remov-
ing cover. When it
stops, remove cover
before removing work
bowl. Never try to
remove cover and work
bowl together; this
could damage work
bowl.
6. Remove slicing or shred-
ding disc before remov-
ing work bowl. To
remove it, grasp flat top
section of adapter stem
and lift it straight up.
Then turn bowl clockwise
to remove it from base
and lift it straight up.
Slicing And
Shredding More
Than 3 Cups
Of Food
1. Substitute chute attach-
ment for clear work bowl.
Pick up empty work
bowl, holding it in both
hands with handle
toward you and chute
toward right. Put bowl on
base, fitting center tube
over motor shaft and
placing handle slightly to
left of front center (7
o’clock).
Hold bowl by handle and
turn bowl counterclock-
wise as far as it will go. It
will click into locked posi-
tion.
2. Pick up adapter stem.
Note that round base is
notched at one end; cen-
ter section is hexagonal
(six-sided) and top sec-
tion is flat on both sides.
Hold stem firmly by flat
top and push it down as
far as it will go on motor
shaft.
3. Hold ejector disc with
side that reads “THIS
SIDE DOWN” down.
Slide ejector disc over
adapter stem, pushing it
down so it fits over
notched top of round
section of stem.
4. Hold slicing or shredding
disc with its longer collar
down (the side that
reads “THIS SIDE
DOWN.”) Always han-
dle slicing or shredding
discs by rims. Never
touch sharp cutting
blades.
Slide disc over stem and
push it down until its
center collar is flush with
hexagonal section of
stem.
5. Put cover on work bowl
and turn it counterclock-
wise to lock it into place.
Place receptacle for
processed food on
counter under chute.
You can use bowls or
saucepans. Those with
high (up to 6 inches,
21cm) straight sides
work best.
6. Put food in feed tube.
Remember to cut one
end of food flat if you are
slicing, and to insert in
feed tube flat side down.
Insert pusher and push
down on it with one hand
while holding control
switch in PULSE position
with other hand. Ejector
disc will direct food
through chute into recep-
tacle. Total amount of
7
Put pieces into work
bowl with metal blade in
place. You can put in up
to 1 cup of food at a
time. If you want to
process more, do it in
batches.
2. Put on cover and lock it.
Insert pusher. Press con-
trol switch down to
PULSE position, then
release it. Repeat two or
three times. Each time
blade stops, let food
pieces drop to bottom of
bowl before pulsing
again. This ensures that
the blade will chop them
at every pulse.
Watch what happens to
food. With pulse/chop-
ping technique, you can
get an even chop without
danger of overprocess-
ing. Check texture by
looking through work
bowl. Be careful not to
overprocess.
For a coarse chop, pulse
only a few times.
3. If you want a finer chop
or purée, move control
switch up to ON and let
machine run continuous-
ly until food is chopped
as fine as you want it.
Check frequently through
clear cover or bowl to
avoid chopping too fine.
Use spatula to scrape
down any pieces that
stick to inside of bowl.
Onions and other food
with a high water content
turn into a smooth purée
very quickly. Do not over-
chop — look at food
frequently through
work bowl.
To purée, follow same
procedure as for chop-
ping, but let machine run
until food is a smooth
purée.
New users are often
surprised at how fast the
processor works. You will
quickly get used to its
great speed.
These are some conditions
that affect your results:
• size of pieces you put
in bowl – all should be
about the same
• amount of food you
process – don’t add too
much at a time
• type of processing
you choose – continuous
or pulse/chopping
Adding Food While
Processing
When you want to add liq-
uid while machine is run-
ning, pour it through open
feed tube. This is especial-
ly useful when making
mayonnaise, bread dough,
cakes and many other
recipes. A small hole in the
pusher allows you to add
liquids in a very slow,
steady stream—useful
when making sauces like
mayonnaise.
When you want to add
small pieces of food like
cheese, meat or garlic
cloves while machine is
running, drop them through
open feed tube.
To prevent spills when
adding flour, sugar and
other dry ingredients, use
a funnel.
Removing
Processed Food
Before removing processed
food, move control switch
to OFF and wait for blade
to stop spinning. Then
remove cover by turning it
clockwise. Never try to
remove cover and work
bowl together; this can
damage work bowl.
If blade continues to turn
when control switch is OFF,
unplug machine before
removing cover. Do not use
machine any further. Call
1-800-726-0190 immediate-
ly for assistance.
After processing liquids,
remove work bowl from
base of processor before
removing metal blade. Turn
handle of bowl clockwise to
unlock bowl from base and
lift bowl straight up.
A locking device on metal
blade prevents it from mov-
ing up on motor shaft while
machine is in use. If blade
holds bowl locked, jiggle
white center section of
blade lightly. It should
release.
It is important not to let
metal blade fall out of work
bowl as you empty it. Here
are three ways to prevent it
from falling out:
1. Before tilting bowl, use
spatula to remove food
from around blade.
Carefully remove blade
by finger grip on top of
center plastic part.
2. Hold top of blade in
place with finger or spat-
ula while pouring out
processed food.
3. Make sure your hands
are dry. Insert finger
through hole in under-
side of bowl and place
thumb on rim of bowl.
Grip inside of blade shaft
firmly to hold blade in
place.
