CHOPPING and PURÉEING:
1. Assemble the food processor by following steps 1 and 2 on page 5.
2. Place the chopping blade over the disc/blade support. The chopping blade
should slide easily over the disc/blade support. The lower blade will almost
touch the bottom of the processing bowl. CAUTION: Be extremely careful
when handling the chopping blade, it is very sharp.
3. Cut the food to be chopped into pieces that fit loosely in the processing bowl.
Note: You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that are all the
same size.
4. Place the cut food into the processing bowl. You can process up to 7 cups of
solid food or 5½ cups of liquid in the processing bowl at one time. Chop food in
batches if you want to process more than 7 cups of solid food at a time.
5. Place the processor lid on top of the processing bowl and lock in place. Place
the food pusher into the feed tube. It is recommended that one hand be placed
on the processor lid while in use to provide additional stability.
6. Plug cord into a 120-volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.
7. Turnt he control dial to “ON.” Press and release the “PULSE” button two to
three times, allowing the food pieces to drop to the bottom of the processing
bowl between pulses. For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times. Note: Watch
the food closely. With the pulse/chopping technique you can get an even chop
without over-processing the food.
8. When the desired consistency has been reached, turn the control dial to “OFF”
and unplug from the electrical outlet.
9. Remove the processor lid and chopping blade.
10. Remove the processing bowl from the motor base. Use a plastic spatula to
scrape out any food pieces that stick to the inside of the processing bowl.
11. Clean as directed in the “Cleaning Your Food Processor” section of this manual.
For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.
For a finer chop or purée, turn the control dial to the “MAX” position and let the
appliance run continuously until the desired consistency has been reached.
You may add liquid or small pieces of food to the processing bowl while the
appliance is running by dropping the food through the feed tube on the
processor lid.
