WARNING

To Avoid Injury. NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS.

Keep hands and utensils out of the work bowl during processing. When slicing and shredding,

use the food pusher to push ingredients into the slicing/shredding disc or down into the bowl to

be processed by the multi-use blade. Never insert your fingers, kitchen tools, tamper or spatula

into the feed tube.

The blades will continue to spin until they come to a complete stop at the end of the processing

cycle. Allow the multi-use blade or slicing/shredding disc to come to a complete stop before

attempting to remove the snap-on lid.

If the work bowl becomes unstable during operation, turn the machine OFF and wait until the

motor comes to a complete stop before attempting to remove the food processor from the motor

base. This will include allowing the multi-use blade or slicing/shredding disc to stop spinning.

Use care when processing cheese. The cheese you choose to process should be easily cut with a

knife. If the cheese is too hard, it will possibly damage the blade or disc.

WARNING

To Avoid Possible Burns, use care if processing with hot liquids. Escaping steam, splashes or

contents may burn.

DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 3 minutes.

Parts will become hot with extended use.

DO NOT touch the drive socket in the blender base or the bottom surfaces of the self-detect base.

• When processing dry ingredients, you can process many dierent types if desired.

• DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line if all ingredients are dry.

• DO NOT exceed the MAX LIQUID ﬁll line if the mixture contains liquid.

• When processing dry and liquid ingredients, put liquid into the bowl before dry ingredients to ensure consistent

• Before slicing and shredding ingredients, trim the food to ﬁt the opening in the lid or the large food pusher

opening (when small food pusher is removed).

• Partially chill soft ingredients to just ﬁrm prior to slicing or shredding.

• DO NOT process frozen meat or meat with bones with the chopping blade.

• DO NOT process frozen fruit or vegetables with the chopping blade.

• DO NOT process fruits or vegetables with the chopping blade..

• If the machine shuts o prematurely, wobbles or rocks during processing, reduce the load in the machine.

• Do not attempt to process fruit of vegetables, larger than a palm of a human hand with the chopping blade.

• If the machine shuts o prematurely, wobbles or rocks during processing, reduce the load in the machine.

Storage

Use the storage case to neatly and securely package and store the discs..

1. Put the multi-purpose blade into the bowl.

2. Put the food pushers in place in the snap-on lid..

3. Insert the multi-use blade into the work bowl.

4. Turn the snap-on lid upside down.

5. Lower the snap-on lid down onto the work bowl so that small food pusher ﬁts over

the column in the center of the bowl.

6. Snap the storage case onto the bottom of the snap-on lid

7. Put the two slicing/shredding discs into the storage case.

8. Put the cover on the storage case.

tr o u b l e s h o ot I n g

• Food is unevenly chopped:

Either you are trying to process too much food at one time, or you are running the machine continuously instead of pulsing on

and o.

• Liquid leaks out between bowl and cover when machine is running:

You added too much liquid. Never use more than 9 cups thin or thick liquid.

• Slices are uneven or slanted.

Pack feed tube more carefully. Maintain even pressure on pusher.

• Carrots or similar food falls over in feed tube:

Cut food into enough short pieces of equal height to ﬁll feed tube. To slice one or two pieces, use small feed tube. Cut carrots in

half and insert one piece point down and the other stem down.

• Sliced or shredded food piles up on one side of work bowl:

This is normal. Remove disc occasionally and even out processed food. When food gets close to the bottom of disc, empty the

work bowl.

• A few pieces of food remain on top of slicing or shredding disc:

This is normal. In most cases, you can shred more of the food by moving the large pusher up and down, allowing the piece to be

shredded, or by repositioning the piece in the feed tube to try again.

• Soft cheese, like mozzarella, spreads out and collects on top of shredding disc:

The cheese was not cold enough, or the pressure on the pusher was too great. To shred soft cheese, apply even pressure on the

food pusher to press it into the disc.
