CONTROLS
Controls
High and Low Buttons
The High and Low controls are buttons that allow the
machine to run until Off is selected.
1. Properly assemble and engage the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either throughthe
feed tube or directly into the bowl.
3. Turn knob to the High or Low setting.
4. Turn the knob to the upright Off position when
finished to turn the machine off.
Pulse Button
The Pulse is a setting that allows the machine to run
only while it is being engaged. This capability provides
more accurate control of the duration and frequency of
processing. Unless otherwise specified, a pulse
should be about one second. With the machine
properly assembled and engaged, and ingredients in
the work bowl, turn the knob to the Pulse setting
repeatedly as needed.

Functions
Using the Chopping/Mixing/Dough Blade
Chopping
•For raw ingredients: Peel, core and/or remove seeds
and pits. Food should be cut into even, ½- to 1-inch
pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces produce the
most even results.
• Pulse food in 1-second increments to shop. For the
finest chop press High or Low to run the machine
continuously.
Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired
consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
Low speed
is recommended for making doughs and batters.
High speed is recommended for most other
chopping, processing and slicing/shredding tasks.
Puréeing
•Topurée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables:
Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a smooth
purée is best achieved when all the pieces are equal in
size. Pulse to initially chop and then process High or Low
until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl as necessary.
Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes
as the mixture can become too gummy toprocess.
•Topurée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the solids
from the liquid and process the solids alone. Add
cooking liquid and process as needed.
Using the Reversible Shredding/Slicing
Discs
•The slicing disc makes whole slices. It slices fruits and
vegetables, cooked meat and semifrozen raw meat.
The shredding disc shreds most firm and hard
cheeses. It may also shred vegetables like potatoes,
carrots and zucchini.
•Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing and
shredding. The food will dictate the amount ofpressure:
Use light pressure for soft foods, medium pressure for
medium foods and firm pressure for harder foods.
Always process with even pressure.
•For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick slice on
the bottom of the food so that it sits upright in the feed
tude. If food does not fit in the feed tube, cut half or a
quarter to fit. Process with even pressure.
•For small ingredients like mushrooms, radishes or
strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits upright in
the feed tube.
•When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that the
cheese is well chilled.
•Toshred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach:
Roll leaves together and stand them up in feed tube.
Process with even pressure.
NOTE: Always use the pusher when slicing or shredding.
Never put your hands in the feed tube while unit is running.

CARE AND CLEANING
Care and Cleaning
•Keep the blade and discs out of the reach of children.
•All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe,
and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher on
the top rack only. Due to intense water heat, washing
the work bowl, cover and accessories on the bottom
rack may cause damage over time. Insert the cover with
the feed tube facing up to ensure proper cleaning. Insert
the work bowl and pusher upside down for drainage.
Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully wherever
you have placed sharp blades and discs.
•Tosimplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pusher
and blade or disc immediately after use so food won’t
dry on them. Be sure to position the pusher upside
down for drainage. If food lodges in the pusher, remove
it by running water through it, or use a bottle brush. Be
sure to rinse out the underside of the removeable stem
to prevent any food lodging there.
•If you wash the blade and discs by hand, do it
carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where
they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal
blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the
blade by its plastic center and move it rapidly up and
down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray
attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a
brush.
•The work bowl is made of SAN plastic. It should notbe
placed in a microwave oven.
•The housing base may be wiped clean with a soapy,
nonabrasive material. Be sure to dry itthoroughly.
•If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray them with a
spot remover and wipe with a damp sponge.
•If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the procedure
and wipe the area with a damp sponge andnonabrasive
cleaning powder.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on the motor
shaft. No blade or disc should be placed on the shaft
except when the processor is about to be used.
MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service representative.
CAUTION FOR YOUR SAFETY
•Like all powerful electrical appliances a food
processor should be handled with care. Followthese
guidelines to protect yourself and your family from
misuse that could cause injury.
•Handle and store metal blade and discs carefully.
Their cutting edges are very sharp.
•Never put blade or discs on the motor shaft untilthe
work bowl is locked in place.
•Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on the
motor shaft as far as it will go.
•Always insert the metal blade in the work bowlbefore
putting ingredients in bowl.
•When slicing or shredding food, always use the
pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula into the
feed tube.
•Always wait for the blade or disc to stop spinning
before you remove the pusher assembly orcover
from the work bowl.
•Always unplug the unit before removing food, cleaning
or putting on or taking off parts.
•Always remove work bowl from base of machine
before you remove the chopping/mixing/dough blade.
•Be careful to prevent the chopping blade from
falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl.
Remove it before tilting the work bowl.

Troubleshooting
Technical Data
The motor in your food processor operates on a standard
line operating current. The appropriate voltage and
frequency for your machine are shown on a label on
the bottom of the base. An automatic, temperature-
controlled circuit breaker in the motor ensures complete
protection against motor burnout. If the processor runs
for an exceptionally long time when chopping, mixing or
kneading a thick or heavy mixture in successive batches,
the motor may overheat. If this happens, the processor
will stop. Turn it off and wait for the motor to cool before
proceeding. It will usually cool within 10 minutes. In
extreme cases, it could take an hour. Safety switches
prevent the machine from operating when the work bowl
or the cover is not locked into position. The motor stops
within seconds when the motor is turned off; and when
the pusher assembly is removed, a fast-stop circuit also
enables the motor to stop within seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem
Solution
Food Processing
The food is unevenly processed.
The ingredients should be cut evenly into ½- to 1-inch pieces before processing.
Process in batches to avoid overloading.
Slices are uneven or slanted.
Place evenly cut food, cut side down, into the feed tube.
Apply even pressure on the pusher.
Food falls over in feed tube.
Feed tube should be packed full for best results.
Some food remains on top of the
disc.
It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut remaining bits by hand and add to processed ingredients.
Cheese is not shredding well.
Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like
mozzarella must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough
for shredding.
Dough Kneading
Motor slows down
Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in
two batches.
Dough may be too wet (see number 8). If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not, add more
flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans the sides of the
work bowl.
Blade does not incorporate
ingredients.
Always start the food processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream, or through
the drizzle hole in the pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb it. If too much liquid is added,
wait until ingredients in the work bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn off the
machine). Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under feed tube opening; do not pour liquid directly onto
bottom of the work bowl.
Blade rises in work bowl.
Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise. Carefully reinsert blade and immediately add 2
tablespoons of flour through the feed tube while the machine is running.
Dough doesn’t clean inside of the
work bowl.
Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in
two batches.
Dough may be too dry.
Dough may be too wet.
Nub of dough forms on top of
blade and does not become
uniformly kneaded.
Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them evenly in the work
bowl.
Dough feels tough after kneading.
Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or until uniformly
soft and pliable.
Dough is too dry.
While machine is running, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans the inside of the bowl.
Dough is too wet.
While machine is running, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans the inside of the bowl.
Technical
The motor does not start.
There is a safety interlock to prevent the motor from starting if it is not properly assembled. Make sure
the work bowl and work bowl cover are securely locked into position.
If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and outlet.
The food processor shuts off
during operation.
The cover may have become unlocked; check to make sure it is securely in position.
A safety protector in the motor prevents the motor from overheating, which is caused by excessive
strain. Press the Off control button and wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow the food processor to cool off
before resuming.
The motor slowed down during
operation.
This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g., slicing/shredding cheese) may require the motor to work
harder. Simply reposition the food in the feed tube and try again.
The maximum load capacity may have been exceeded. Remove some of the ingredients and continue
processing.
The food processor vibrated/
moved around the countertop
during processing.
Make sure the rubber feet at the bottom of the unit are clean and dry. Also make sure that the
maximum load capacity is not being exceeded.
This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g., slicing/shredding cheese) may require the motor to work
harder.
