voltage in your home.

3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the food processor and cause

injury to the user.

4. This food processor is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids

the warranty and the supplier can not be held responsible for injury or damage

caused when using the appliance for any other purpose than that intended.

5. Avoid any contact with moving parts.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Locking the bowl/jug

Align the base and jug/bowl as illustrated. Turn the jug/bowl clockwise until it locks into

place. The jug/bowl will lock onto the base in 3 different positions for user

convenience.

NOTE: The food processor will not work unless the jug/bowl is locked into position.

Assembling the lid

Align the lid as illustrated by placing your thumb on the lid tab and twisting the lid

clockwise. Four visual alignment markers are provided, one on the bowl, one on the

handle and two on bowl lid. NOTE: The food processor will not work unless the lid is

locked into position.

Operating the controls

The control dial is conveniently located on the front of the base. Rotate the dial

clockwise to speed up. Rotate counter clockwise to slow down. For more precise

start/stop control, turn the dial clockwise to the (P) PULSE setting by rotating it counter

clockwise. To turn off the machine, rotate the dial to the OFF (O) position.

Processing tips and techniques

1. The food processor is excellent for chopping, mixing, slicing and shredding most

foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor

for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans or spices or slicing frozen meat.

2. To process the maximum capacity, use the stainless steel

chopping/slicing/mixing blade and add food no higher than the maximum fill line

on the plastic food processor bowl.

3. Operating time will depend on the quantity of the food being processed. Most

foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds.

4. Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over

processed in a matter of seconds and turn gummy.

Processing using the stainless steel slicing/chopping/mixing blade

1. For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size.

Do not process 10cm pieces together with 1cm pieces for example.

2. The stainless steel slicing/chopping/mixing blade can be used to coarsely chop,

finely mince, mix, or puree food to a smooth consistency.

3. Make sure the control dial is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.

4. Place the motor shaft attachment onto the motor body.

5. Lock the food processor bowl onto the motor body. (See “Locking the bowl”)

6. Place the removable drive attachment into the food processor bowl

7. Place the slicing/chopping/mixing blade onto the removable drive attachment of

the food processor in centre of the bowl. Turn slowly until the blade drops into

place. Handle carefully as the blade is sharp.

10. Process the food by pushing it through the feed chute with the safety pusher.

11. When finished processing, turn the dial to the OFF (0) position or release from

the PULSE position. Wait until the blade has stopped rotating before removing

the lid.

12. Unplug the appliance.

Processing using the stainless steel reversible thin slicing and fine

shredding disc

1. The reversible thin slicing/fine shredding disc has a slicing blade on one side

and shredding teeth on the other. The name engraved on the blade, facing

up, is the function selected.

2. Place the disc on the removable drive attachment with the desired cutting

edge facing up.

3. Make sure the control dial is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.

4. Lock the bowl onto the base. (See “Locking the bowl”.)

5. Place the removable drive attachment on the motor shaft. Put the thin

slicing/fine shredding disc on the removable drive attachment with the

desired side facing up for either slicing or shredding. Lock lid onto bowl (See

“Assembling the lid”).

Tips

•To slice or shred cheese, make use of firm cheese like, Cheddar, Monterey

Jack, or Swiss. Place the cheese in the freezer for 30 minutes before

processing for best results.

•To slice/shred longer shaped thin foods (such as pepperoni, carrots, and

celery) lock the lid. These foods can be inserted into the feed chute opening

and processed as long as the feed chute lid is closed. Always use the

safety pusher to feed food into the chute.NEVER PUSH FOOD

THROUGH THE FEED CHUTE WITH HANDS, FINGERS, UTENSILS OR

ANY OTHER OBJECTS.

Select speed

•While pressing down the safety pusher, rotate the control dial for optimum

slicing and shredding performance or set it to PULSE mode.

•NOTE: The feed chute lid is designed to pivot towards the right when processing

food that fills the whole feed chute capacity.
