Chopping Instructions
Place the processing bowl (5) onto the base and lock into place. Insert the chopping blade (8).
Prepare the food by cutting into manageable pieces that will easily fit into the bowl; we recommend
keeping pieces under 2” x 2” cubes.
Load the chopper by layering the ingredients, hardest to lightest, and top with liquid and seasonings.
Secure the lid onto the bowl. Pulse the power button in short bursts until the food is chopped to your
liking. Be careful not to over-process!
Whipping Instructions
Place the processing bowl (5) onto the base and lock into place. Insert the whipping paddle (14).
Pour up to 1/2 very cold cream or other liquid into bowl, attach lid and pulse to whip.
Whip lighter foods such as eggs, pancake mix and puddings but DO NOT try to mix heavy batters like
bread dough, brownie mix, etc.
Although the lid is a snug fit, it is not uncommon for a small amount of liquid to leak out while in the high-
speed whipping mode; it is recommended to have a clean dishtowel handy!
Slicing Instructions
Place the processing bowl (5) onto the base and lock into place. Attach the slicing/shredding blade onto
the blade holder with the slicing blade in the up position. Lower the blade unit into the bowl.
Place the slicing lid with food chute onto the machine by turning the lid clockwise so that the center tab
clicks into the unit. The food will exit the machine to the right so be sure to place a bowl underneath!
Prepare the food by trimming the ends flat and, if necessary, trim lengthwise to comfortably fit into the
chute.
Place the food in the chute BEFORE TURNING UNIT ON and rest the plunger on top with light pressure.
Press the Start button with your left hand while gently pushing the food into the chute.
Tips:
When slicing long, thin foods such as celery and carrots, group the food tightly to fill the chute vertically.
This helps to keep the slices consistent.
When slicing round foods such as mushrooms and radishes, fill the chute entirely to help keep the food
from “bouncing” on the blades.
When slicing cheeses, the colder, the better! If you are slicing a soft cheese, freeze for 10 minutes
before slicing. Be careful not to apply too much pressure on the plunger while slicing; let the machine do
the work!
Avoid slicing dense, greasy meats such as pepperoni and hard salami.

Shredding Instructions
Place the processing bowl (5) onto the base and lock into place.
Attach the slicing/shredding blade onto the blade holder with the shredding blade in the down position.
Lower the blade unit into the bowl.
Place the processing lid with food chute onto the machine by turning the lid clockwise so that the center
tab clicks into the unit. The food will exit the machine to the right so be sure to place a bowl underneath!
Prepare the food by trimming the ends flat and, if necessary, trim lengthwise to comfortably fit into the
chute.
Place the food in the chute BEFORE TURNING UNIT ON and rest the plunger on top with light pressure.
