ASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS
We will use the terms bowl, work bowl and batch bowl
interchangeably throughout this instruction book. They mean the
same thing.
• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize
the bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher insert and processing
tools prior to initial use.
• Place the base on a counter or table near an outlet. Position it so
you look at the front of the unit and can see the control levers. Be
certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF ( ) lever has been
pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely
assembled.
• Pick up the transparent work bowl, holding it in both hands with the
handle toward you.
• Place the bowl on the base, tting its central tube over the motor
shaft on the base and placing its handle slightly to the left of front-
center (at about a 7 o’clock position).
• Press the bowl down so the lower rim ts around the circular
platform. Turn the bowl counterclockwise as far as it will go. It will
lock into position with the tabs on the sides of the platform.
Read this if assembling the batch bowl parts to use S-blade
(cutter blade).
• Pick up the metal blade, noting the diagram on the top of the plastic
center. It matches the shape of the motor shaft.
• Place the S-blade over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the
inside of the hub with the shaft. Press it down rmly, rotating the
center hub until the blade assembly is fully seated. It should easily
drop into place. Push rmly to lock and seal S-blade hub in place.
Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. If it is not all the way
down, it may become damaged and any liquid may leak. Push only
on the center section (plastic part); never touch the cutting blade as
it is extremely sharp.
• Check to be sure the blade is all the way down by turning it back
and forth while lightly pushing it down. If properly installed and
fully seated, the lower blade will be positioned just above the inside
bottom of the bowl.
• If processing food with the S-blade, now is the time to add the food
or liquid to the work bowl.
• Always process dry food rst, then add wet food.
8

• Do not ll liquid past “Max liquid ll” level. If too much liquid is
used, it will overow. In this case, stop operation, remove liquid to
below “Max liquid ll” line and continue.
Read this if assembling batch bowl parts to use accessory
discs in batch bowl.
• Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc
onto the shaft.
• Select the appropriate accessory disc: shredding disc or slicing
disc.
For disc assembly using detachable disc stem (10), hold the disc
with the cutting side facing your hand. Be careful not to scrape
your hand on the sharp edges. Notice the bottom of the disc has a
plastic receptacle for the detachable stem. Holding the stem with
your thumb on the release switch, place the center and right-most
two tabs in the two open slots on the bottom of the disc and rotate
clockwise. Refer to diagram.
• For disc assembly using detachable disc stem (11)
hold the disc with the cutting side facing your hand.
Be careful not to scrape your hand on the sharp
edges. Notice the bottom of the disc has a plastic
receptacle for the detachable stem. Push the disc
stem into the receptacle, lining up the notches at the
end. Refer to the diagram.
• Once the stem is installed in the proper disc,
carefully guide the center disc hub over the metal
shaft so the double ats on the shaft line up with the
disc stem. Put the disc on the top of the shaft and
rotate until it drops down into place. Be sure it is
pushed down as far as it will go. Push on the outside
rim only; never touch the cutting blades. If should
easily drop into place, but if not, then gently rock it
back and forth until you feel the disc drop into place.
Note: Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the
accessory disc onto the shaft.
• Place the cover on the bowl, with the feed tube on the right, slightly
toward the front. The locking tabs on the cover should be at the left
of the locking tabs on the rim of the work bowl.
• Rotate the cover counterclockwise to lock it into place. When the
cover is rotated into place, the safety interlock tab on the back rim
of the cover will lock with the interlock mechanism.

NOTE: The cover must be in place correctly, with the cover’s safety
interlock tab rmly engaged, for the food processor to operate. This
is an important safety feature.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD PROCESSOR
WITHOUT THE COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.
Two pushers for feed tube
The large pusher is for processing larger
vegetables. The smaller pusher nests in the larger
pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables,
guiding long thin vegetables for more precise
cuts, or for jobs like slicing pepperoni.
Large pusher
Insert the small food pusher into the large food
pusher opening. Now you are ready to insert the
large pusher into the feed tube opening. There
is a T-shaped insert on the back of the large
pusher. Align this with the T-shaped hole on top
of the interlock tower. Push the pusher into the
feed tube gently. The insert will activate the interlock
mechanism and your food processor is ready to
operate.
NOTE: The pusher must be in place correctly, with
the pusher’s safety interlock tab rmly engaged, for
the food processor to operate.
Small pusher
To use the small pusher, lift it up and out of the
large pusher. When using the small pusher, the large
pusher becomes the feed tube for the small pusher.
DISASSEMBLY OF BATCH BOWL PARTS
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE DISASSEMBLING.
• Turn the bowl cover clockwise until the safety interlock tab on the
cover is disengaged and the tabs are clear of the groove in the
tower. In this position you can lift the cover off the bowl.
• Remove the large food pusher from the feed tube. Remove the
small pusher from the large pusher.
10

Disassembly when removing the S-blade
• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise (left) to
disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from the
work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7 o’clock
position), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.
It is recommended that you remove the bowl from the
motor base before you remove the S-blade.
• To remove the blade, keep a slight downward pressure on the top
of the center hub of the blade while removing the bowl from the
motor base. This will form a seal to prevent food particles from
spilling into the center tube of the bowl and onto the motor base
or the work surface. REMOVE ALL FOOD AND LIQUID BEFORE
REMOVING S-BLADE, OR THE BOWL WILL LEAK. Then remove
the S-blade from the bowl. Handle the S-blade with caution; the
blades are extremely sharp.
Disassembly when removing an accessory disc
• Do not remove the work bowl until the accessory disc is removed.
• To remove an accessory disc, place your ngers on the outer edge
of two opposite sides of the disc and lift. The disc should remove
cleanly. To remove the detachable stem, hold the disc in one hand
with the stem facing away from your hand. Be careful not to scrape
your hand on any sharp edges; depress the release switch with
your thumb and rotate counterclockwise.
• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise to
disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from the
work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7 o’clock
position), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and out.
OPERATING THE CONTROLS
• Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be 230V
(50Hz).
• There are two control levers located on the base of the machine.
They are on the front and give you ngertip control of processing.
They are large enough to nd easily in case of emergency.
The two controls are: ON ( )
OFF-PULSE ( , )
How they work: ON ( ): Press the lever down to start
the motor.
11

OFF-PULSE ( , ): To turn the motor off, press the
lever down and release.
To pulse the motor, press the OFF-PULSE
( , ) lever down, then release. The
motor will run as long as you hold the
lever down; it stops when you release the
lever. Try it a few times.
HOW TO USE
Continuous Use
For continuous processing use the ON ( ) lever, which is located on
the left.
Pulsing
The pulsing function is intended for use with the S-blade in the work bowl.
• For rapid on-off operation, called pulsing, use the OFF-PULSE ( ,)
lever located on the right. The motor runs as long as you hold the
lever down; it stops when you release the lever.
• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the
amount of time you hold the lever down. You control the frequency
of pulses by the rate at which you press the lever. The interval
between pulses must be long enough to allow everything in the
work bowl to fall to the bottom.
• Pulsing gives you precise control over chopping, mincing, blending
and mixing. You can process food to any texture or consistency
you want, from coarse to ne.
• Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food a few
times to break up into smaller parts. Then proceed with continuous
use after the pieces are broken up and easier to process.
• Always use the OFF-PULSE ( ,) lever for pulsing. Never move
the bowl (or chute) and cover assembly on or off to control pulses.
It is less efcient and could damage the machine.
Turning off
Always turn the machine off with the OFF-PULSE ( ,) lever
and wait until the blade or disc comes to a complete stop before
removing the pusher assembly. The motor stops within seconds after
the machine is turned off.
12

FOOD PREPARATION
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as
required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds.
• Cut vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc., into sizes that will t into
your choice of small feed tube or large feed tube for processing with
accessory discs, or into sizes as required by your processing task.
• Preparation for slicing: Produce that is long and cylindrical, such as
carrots, cucumbers and celery, should be cut at at both ends. This
will provide a consistent slice for all food processed.
FOOD PUSHER SELECTION
S-blade usage
The large pusher must be in place to operate the food processor. It
may be removed to add food to the work bowl.
The small pusher is not required when processing in the bottom
of the work bowl with the S-blade. However, the feed tube can be
used for adding ingredients while the food processor is running. It
is recommended that the food pushers be left in place to prevent
splashing and avoid unwanted additions to the work bowl.
Small pusher
This pusher with smaller chute is typically used when inserting
vegetables vertically for smaller cuts. It should be used when slicing
foods, such as carrots, celery, pepperoni, etc., when a consistent, at
result is desired.
This pusher is also used when a shorter shred or slice is desired,
as opposed to a longer grate or slice using the larger feed tube
and pusher.
Large pusher
This pusher with larger chute is typically used when inserting
vegetables horizontally for longer cuts.
This pusher is used when a longer shred or slice is desired. It is also
used when processing large volumes of food or bulky food items,
such as potatoes or onions.
RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION
The food processor is equipped with an automatic reset switch to
protect the motor from overheating.
13

If your food processor stops running under heavy use, turn the power
switch off and unplug the power cord. Empty the work bowl of all its
contents and discard food. Allow approximately 5 minutes for the
motor to cool down.
Reassemble unit, plug the power cord back into the outlet and
run rst with the bowl empty. Put food into the bowl and continue
processing.
If your food processor does not function properly following this
procedure, discontinue use and contact your local distributor.
BATCH BOWL MAXIMUM CAPACITY CHART
Do not exceed the capacities listed in the table below when
processing in the batch bowl.
FOODS CAPACITY
Chopped and puréed fruit and
vegetables 475 g (1.1 lb.)
Chopped or puréed meat, poultry,
sh or seafood 1 kg (2¼ lb.)
Sliced fruit, cheese or vegetables 1.5 kg (3.5 lb.)
USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR S-BLADE
IN THE BATCH BOWL
1. Cut food into 2.5cm pieces.
2. Insert the metal S-blade and put the pieces of food into the
work bowl. Attach the lid and the pusher assembly; press
the pusher assembly down to lock it into place. Press and
release the OFF-PULSE ( ,) lever two or three times. Each
time the blade stops, let the pieces drop to the bottom of the
bowl before pulsing again.
3. Using the pulse/chopping technique, you can get an even chop
without the danger of over-processing. Check the texture
frequently by looking through the cover of the work bowl. If
you want a ner chop, press and release the OFF-PULSE
( ,) lever until you achieve the desired texture. Onions and
other foods with a high water content will quickly end up as a
purée unless examined through the work bowl after each pulse
to make sure they are not over-processed.
14

• For better results, ensure that all the pieces you add to the bowl are
about the same size.
Ensure that the amount you process is no larger than
recommended.
REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD
FROM THE BATCH BOWL
1. Turn the machine off and wait for the blade to stop moving
before removing the lid and pusher.
2. Remove the bowl by twisting the handle clockwise to the
7 o’clock position.
3. Firmly press the blade down to ensure that it is locked into
place.
4. Tilt bowl and gently remove mixture. S-Blade will stay locked in
place while removing the mixture. Never use ngers to remove
food while blade is in the batch bowl.
CHOPPING HARD FOODS IN THE BATCH BOWL
To chop hard foods like garlic, remove the small pusher, press the
ON ( ) lever and drop the food through the small feed tube while the
machine is running. Small foods like garlic can be dropped in whole.
This method of processing minces garlic, shallots and onions. Larger
foods like meat and hard cheese should be cut into 1-inch (25.4 mm)
cubes to ensure an even chop. Press the OFF-PULSE ( ,) lever for
1 to 2 seconds, 3 times. Then press the ON ( ) lever and process for
a maximum of 30 seconds for desired consistency.
Never try to process cheese that is too hard to cut with a knife.
You may damage the blade or the machine.
SLICING OPERATION
The adjustable slicing disc allows you to slice anywhere from 1 to
6mm thick using 16 different slicing positions! Prior to mounting the
disc onto the motor shaft (see page 8 for assembly instructions), use
the knob to select desired thickness. Once you have selected the
thickness and mounted the disc onto the unit, you may secure the
sealed bowl cover onto the batch bowl and remove the pusher.
15

Round fruits and vegetables
Before processing onions, apples and other large round fruits and
vegetables, trim them with a knife. Cut the bottom end at to make
the food lie stable on the disc. Place the food in the feed tube, at
side down. Position it as far left as possible to prevent it from tilting
when being processed. Choose fruits that are rm and not too ripe.
Always remove large, hard stones and pips/seeds from fruits before
processing. Seeds of citrus fruits need not be removed. You may
remove the rind before slicing or leave the rind on.
Whole peppers are an exception
Remove the stem and cut the stem end at. Remove the core and
scoop out the seeds. Leave the end opposite the stem whole, to
keep the structure stiff. This ensures round, even slices.
Large fruits like pineapple and melon
Cut them in half and remove the seeds or core. If necessary, cut the
halves into smaller pieces to t the feed tube. Remember to cut the
ends at.
Cabbage and iceberg lettuce
Turn the head on its side and slice off the top and bottom, leaving
a center section about 3 inches deep. Remove the core and cut the
center section in wedges to t the feed tube. Remove the core from
the bottom piece and cut it and the top piece into wedges to t the
feed tube.
If the fruit or vegetable doesn’t fit
Try inserting it from the bottom of the feed tube. The opening there is
slightly larger.
Pack the feed tube for desired results
For long slices, cut the food into feed-tube widths and pack the
pieces horizontally. For small round slices from carrots, courgettes
and other long vegetables, cut them into feed-tube heights and pack
them tightly upright. Food should t snugly, but not so tight that it
prevents the pusher from moving. When slicing food, always use the
pusher. Never put your ngers or a spatula into the feed tube.
Never push down hard on the pusher. Use light pressure for soft
fruits and vegetables like bananas, mushrooms, strawberries and
tomatoes, and for all cheese. Use medium pressure for most foods
like apples, celery, citrus fruit and potatoes. Use rm pressure for
really hard vegetables like carrots.
16

Small round fruits and vegetables
For large berries, radishes and mushrooms, trim the opposite ends
at with a knife. Insert the food through the feed tube, standing each
piece on a at end. You can ll the tube to about 1 inch (25.4mm)
from the top. The bottom layer gives you perfect slices for garnish. If
you want all the slices to be perfect, it’s best to process one layer at
a time.
Long fruits and vegetables
Trim foods like bananas, celery and courgettes by cutting them into
pieces a little shorter than the feed tube. Cut both ends at. (Use a
ruler as a guide, or the pusher assembly with the pusher pulled out
as far as it will go.) Fill the feed tube with the pieces, standing them
vertically and adding enough pieces so they are solidly packed and
cannot tilt sideways as they are sliced.
Small amounts of food
Use the small feed tube and the small pusher. Remove the small
pusher from the pusher assembly. Slide the pusher assembly over
the feed tube and press the sleeve down to lock it into place. Cut the
food in lengths a little shorter than the feed tube. If you are slicing
one or two long, thin vegetables like carrots, push them against the
left. If you are slicing a few vegetables that are wide at one end and
narrow at the other (carrots, celery or scallions) cut them in half and
pack in pairs, one wide end up, one narrow end up.
French-cut green beans
Trim fresh green beans to feed-tube widths. Blanch them for 60
seconds in boiling salted water. Plunge them immediately into cold
water to stop the cooking. When they are cold to the touch, drain and
dry them. Stack them in the feed tube horizontally to about 1 inch
(25.4mm) from the top. Use the slicing disc. Be sure the small pusher
is locked. Apply light pressure to the pusher and press the OFF-
PULSE ( ,) lever until beans are sliced. To make long, horizontal
slices of raw courgettes or carrots, use the same procedure.
Matchsticks or julienne strips
Process the food twice – double-slice it. Insert any large fruit or
vegetable – potatoes, turnips, courgettes, apples – in the feed
tube horizontally. Apply pressure to the pusher while pressing the
OFF-PULSE ( ,) lever until the food is sliced. You will get long
slices. Remove the slices from the work bowl and reassemble them.
Reinsert them in the feed tube, wedging them in tightly. Slice them
again. You will obtain long julienne strips.
17

SLICING MEAT AND POULTRY
Cooked meat and poultry
The food must be very cold. If possible, use a chunk of food just
large enough to t the feed tube. To make julienne strips of ham,
bologna or luncheon meat, stack slices of them. Then roll or fold
them double and stand them upright in the feed tube, wedging in as
many rolls as possible. This technique works better with square or
rectangular pieces than with round ones.
Uncooked meat and poultry
Cut the food into pieces to t the feed tube. Boned, skinned chicken
breasts will usually t when cut in half crosswise. Wrap the pieces in
plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. They are ready to slice when
they pass this “knife test”: They are easily pierced with the tip of a
sharp knife although semi-frozen, and hard to the touch. Stand them
in the feed tube, cut side down, and slice them against the grain,
using rm pressure on the pusher. Or lay them at in the feed tube,
as many as will t, and slice with the grain, using rm pressure.
Frankfurters, salami and other sausages
If the sausage is soft, freeze it until hard to the touch, but easily
pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Hard sausages need not be
frozen. If the sausage is thin enough to t in the small feed tube, use
that tube. Otherwise, cut the sausage into pieces to t the large feed
tube completely. Stand the pieces vertically, packing them in tightly
so they cannot tilt sideways.
SLICING CHEESE
Firm cheese like Swiss and Cheddar
Cut the cheese into pieces to t the feed tube. Put it in the freezer
until it is semi-frozen – hard to the touch, but easily pierced with the
tip of a sharp knife. Stand the pieces in the feed tube and apply light
pressure to the pusher.
IMPORTANT
Never try to slice soft cheese. Slice only hard cheese such as
Parmesan. Do not use block sizes larger than 3.5" x .750" x 4.0"
(89mm x 19mm x 101mm). Always use well-chilled cheese when
slicing. It is recommended to keep cheese in refrigerator for at least
1 hour before slicing. Do not slice mozzarella in this unit. Damage to
the unit may occur.
18

SHREDDING OPERATION
The reversible shredding disc, both sides on this disc produce
a perfect shred, one ne, the other medium. When assembling
the shredding disc, note the side facing up will be the size shred
produced. When the disc is secured, cover with the sealed batch
bowl cover and remove the pusher.
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as
required. Remove pits, stones, and large seeds. Be sure the food
will t into the proper feed chute.
• Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of foods
such as carrots and courgettes will result in a longer shredded
product. Using the smaller chute and small pusher with food
inserted vertically will yield a shorter shredded product.
• Never try to shred soft cheese. Use only hard cheese. Mozzarella
may be shredded only when well chilled. Pre-cut mozzarella must
be 1" thick by 3.5" wide and 4" high (25.4mm x 89mm x 101mm).
Keep mozzarella in a freezer for 1 hour prior to shredding. Use
pulse lever only when shredding cheese.
• When shredded food reaches nearly full capacity of the bowl,
remove all shredded food from the bowl.
SEALED WHIPPING DISC OPERATION
• The sealed whipping disc. See page 8 for assembly instructions to
install the whipping disc. Once assembled, you are ready to start
adding in your favorite ingredients!
• The whipping disc makes any whipping job easy and quick. Just
pour in heavy cream and your choice of sweetening or avor, and
whip until cream is thick and uffy. Do not ll over the MAX LIQUID
FILL line as indicated on the batch bowl. Note that the seal will
prevent leaks and spills from the batch bowl cover, however when
the motor is running, the liquid could get whipped out through
the feed tube if it is lled above the MAX LIQUID FILL line. To turn
your cream into butter, keep whipping until moisture is mostly
separated from cream. Use your choice of herbs and seasoning to
make your own homemade herb butter.
