USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR
Before using your Food Processor for the first time, wash all parts and accessories either
by hand or in the dishwasher (see the “Cleaning the Food Processor” section). Your Food
Processor is designed so that all accessories may be stored inside the work bowl.
BEFORE FIRST USE
ASSEMBLING THE FOOD PROCESSOR
IMPORTANT: Place the Food Processor on a dry, level countertop with the controls
facing forward. Do not plug in the Food Processor until it is completely assembled.
1
Place the work bowl on the base,
aligning the handle with the raised
button on the right side of the base.
The bowl will click into place and
should be flush against the base
when properly aligned.
2Place the drive adapter in the work
bowl, lowering it onto the drive pin.
1
Lift up the lid latch to unlock the
cover. Tilt the work bowl cover back
and lift it straight up so that the lid
hinge pulls out of the handle hinge.
2Remove all parts and accessories
from the work bowl, and lift the food
pusher out of the feed tube.

INSTALLING THE REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC
1
To slice: Turn the disc so that the
raised slicing blade is facing up.
To shred: Turn the disc so that the
small, raised shredding blades are
facing up.
The disc can be placed in two different
positions: level with the top of the bowl
for processing, and lower, inside of the
bowl, for storage.
NOTE: While the disc will operate in
storage position, it will not perform as
well. Make sure the disc is level with the
top of the bowl for best performance.
2
Hold the disc by its center hub and
lower it onto the drive adapter,
aligning the mark on the center hub
of the disc to the matching mark on
the adapter. When properly placed,
the disc should be level with the top
of the bowl. If the disc falls to the
storage position, lift it out, turn it 90°,
and lower it again.
3Install the work bowl cover, and be
sure the lid latch is pushed down to
the locked position.
