becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by
children or pets.

please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION
CONTROL PANEL
The controls are located on the front of the base. Turn dial to Pulse, Low or High in order
to select a function (see directions under "How to Use").
OFF CONTROL
Processor should be stored in OFF position and unplugged when not in use.
PULSE CONTROL
Use PULSE for short processing tasks. This lets you control the size and uniformity of
foods being chopped.
•The dial must be turned to the Pulse position and held for the appliance to operate
in PULSE mode. When released, the dial will return to the OFF position and the
function will end.
•The motor of the processor will run as long as the PULSE position is held. Hold the
dial in the PULSE position and then release to allow the blade to stop running and
the food to fall to the bottom of the bowl.
•Pulsing gives better control when chopping, mincing, mixing and blending foods.
You can control the size of the foods, from coarse to fine.
SPEED LOW and HIGH CONTROL
This food processor has two speeds. Turn the dial to the appropriate speed when the
food is ready to be processed. When turned to one of these speeds, the processor will
continue to run until the dial is returned to the OFF position.

(cont.)
7.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the chopping blade has completely stopped spinning before
removing cover from processing bowl.
IMPORTANT:
Unlock lid first before removing bowl.
8. Unplug appliance when not in use.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR CHOPPING
•Watch carefully to avoid over-processing foods.
•The PULSE position offers the best control.
•For best results, process foods that are about the same size.
•Do not overload the bowl.
•Never walk away from the processor while it is on.
•You may use hot but not boiling liquids.
•If adding liquid to the bowl, do not fill past the max liquid fill line at any given time.
•Insert a funnel into the feed chute when adding ingredients such as oil, flour and
sugar.
•Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 2cm before
processing.
•Biscuits should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube while the
machine is running.
•When making pastry use fat straight from the fridge, cut into 2cm cubes. Take care
not to over-process.
The chopping blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The length of the
processing time will determine the texture achieved. For coarser textures use the pulse
control. Use the chopping blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw and cooked
meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs from biscuits
and bread.
HOW TO LOCK THE COVER

processor will not operate unless the processing bowl and cover are properly locked
in place.
Insert the food pusher into the feed chute.

For slicing, place the disc onto the disc shaft with the
slicing blade face up. The lip of the disc will also be
facing up. For shredding, place the disc onto the disc
shaft with the slicing blade facing down and the
shredding teeth facing up. (Figure 4)

into smaller pieces until they fit.
6. Rotate the control knob to the PULSE/LOW/HIGH position to begin. Rotate the

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SLICING AND SHREDDING
•Before slicing fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom
of the food to make it flat.
•Place the food cut side down in feed chute.
•Remove seeds and pits before processing.
•Select foods that are firm and not overripe.
•Remove the core from hard vegetables such as cabbage.
•When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute
and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn
or tilt.
•Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.
•Chill soft and semi-hard cheeses before shredding.
•After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove
the slicing and shredding disc before removing the bowl from the processor. Place
the disc on top of the inverted bowl cover.
