BEFORE FIRST USE
• When unpacking the product and removing the packaging material, handle the “S”
blade and slicing/shredding disc with great care as these items come pre-
sharpened
•Wash all parts except the base. Be sure to read this user manual thoroughly, paying
special attention to the “How to Use” and “Care and Cleaning” sections

HOW TO USE
Do not attempt to chop/crush ice in this food processor; it will damage the unit 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, slice/shred
hard-cooked eggs/marshmallows/soft cheeses.
Control Panel
Pulse
•Pulse button must be pressed and held for unit to operate. When released, unit will
stop. Use Pulse for short processing tasks, such as chopping nuts, raw meats, or
vegetables. This allows you to check processed results and control the fineness.
On
•When this button is pressed, unit runs continuously until the Off button is pressed.
Off
•Processor should always be left in Off position when unit is not in use.
To process liquid the S blade should be used, never fill the processor bowl above
the maximum
IMPORTANT
For your protection, this unit has an interlock system. The processor will not operate
unless the bowl is properly locked onto the base and the cover is correctly locked
onto the bowl. Be sure the handle of the bowl 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 base is on a flat, dry, clean surface
before you begin processing.
HOW TO SLICE AND SHRED
1. Place the bowl over the centre post in the base with the handle at the left . Turn the
bowl towards the right until it drops down into place. Click the bowl in so that the
handle lines up straight over the signal light; be sure it locks into place.
2. Slide the disc stem onto the centre post in the bowl, then carefully grasp the
slicing/shredding disc. With the desired side (slice or shred) facing up push 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.
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Use the food guide to help you prepare food
for slicing/shredding. Fill the food chute with food and position the pusher over the
food .
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, a large
amount of pressure will not speed up the operation.
6. Bowl can not be removed with closed lid

7. After processing the food, release the pulse button, or if you were using the ON
button, press OFF. Allow the disc to stop rotating, twist the food chute/cover toward
UNLOCK to remove the cover.
8. Grasp the disc and lift out, carefully pull out the disc stem, unlock the bowl by
turning the handle to the left and lift off the bowl.
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 centre post on the base with the handle at the left. Turn the
bowl towards the right until it drops down into place. Click the bowl in so that the
handle lines up straight over the signal light; be sure it locks into place.
2. Grasp the chopping blade by its center shaft and slide it down onto the centre post.
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.
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, hole 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. Bowl can not be removed with closed lid
7. After processing food, release the pulse, or if you were using continuous ON, press
OFF. Allow the disc to stop rotating. Twist the food chute/cover toward UNLOCK to
remove the cover.
8. 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.
LIQUID FOOD PROCESSING TIPS
•Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in the bowl.
•Be sure to process small amounts of liquids (2 cups or less at a time). Larger
amounts may leak from the bowl.
CARE AND CLEANING
Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or the
reversible disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined if
you attempt to sharpen.
1. Before cleaning, be sure the unit is switched off and the cord is unplugged.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
3. Wipe the base, control area, and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, non-
abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the base in liquid.

4. It is highly recommended that all removable parts are washed by hand. However,
the removable parts can be washed in a dishwasher
–Wash in hot, sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a small
nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean the bowl and food chute/cover. This
type of brush will also help prevent cutting yourself on the chopping blade and
the slicing/shredding disc.
–If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only –not
in or near the utensil basket
5. Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
6. Do not fill the bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in boiling water.
Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the bowl. To remove stains,
make a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and two tablespoons warm water. Apply
the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth, rinse in sudsy water and dry the baking
soda.
