Note: The following conditions will affect your results.
• Size of pieces you process– all should be about the same size.
• Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.
• Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse/chopping.
Slicing or Shredding
1. Assemble the food processor following the steps on page # 4.
2. Attach the slicing or shredding blade to the disc blade holder by pressing the
blade firmly into place. Use caution when handling sharp blades.
3. Place the disc blade holder over the center shaft in the food container using the
two holes on the disc as finger-holds. Be sure the blade holder is firmly in place
and positioned all the way down on the shaft.
4. Place the lid on the food container and lock it in place. Cut food pieces in equal
lengths, slightly shorter than the food chamber. Use the food pusher as a cutting
guide for length or width. Put cut food to be sliced or shredded in the open food
chamber on the lid. Pack the food chamber full so food stands upright for slicing.
Insert the food pusher on top of the food pieces.
5. Press the “PULSE” button while firmly pressing down on the food pusher. Adjust
your pressure on the food pusher depending on the type of food used. Soft
foods require less pressure, hard foods require more pressure. Watch the food
closely and release the “PULSE” button when the food chamber is empty. Refill
food chamber and repeat slicing/shredding process.
Note: The following conditions will affect your results.
• Slicing blade - the width of food pieces you put in the food chamber dictates the
width of finished slices.
• Shredding blade - soft to medium firm cheeses can be sliced or shredded/grated
using the food chamber. Harder cheeses must be chopped using the chopping
blade.
Removing Processed Food
1. Before removing the processed food, press the “OFF” button and wait for the
blade to stop spinning. Unplug the unit and then remove the lid by turning it
counterclockwise to unlock. Never try to remove the lid and the container
together as one unit; this can damage the food processor.
2. Be careful not to let the chopping blade or slicing/shredding blade disc fall out of
the container as you empty it. To prevent the chopping blade from falling out,
carefully remove the chopping blade by lifting up on the plastic hub. To remove
the slicing/shredding blade disc, grip the disc using the two finger-holds on top
of the disc and lift straight up. Be sure to remove the blade or disc before
attempting to empty out the processed food.
3. To lift the container off the motor base, turn the handle of the container
counterclockwise to unlock and lift the container straight up.
Note: Occasionally, a piece of food may become wedged between the blade and the
container. If this happens, unplug the unit, remove the lid, lift the blade out carefully
and remove the wedged piece. Empty the container, reinsert the blade, replace the
ingredients and lock the lid into place to continue processing.
