GETTING STARTED STEP BY STEP
Please note that the bowl with collar will fit on the base in eight
different positions. The handle can be in front or on either side
and the feed tube in front, back, or on either side. Directions for

FOOD PROCESSOR ASSEMBLY
CHOPPING, PURÉEING AND MIXING
1. Hold gearbox collar in one hand and work bowl handle in the
other. Twist bowl clockwise onto collar.
2. Place collar with bowl onto motor base with handle facing front.
3. Place chopping blade over shaft in work bowl. Chopping blade
should slide easily to the bottom of the bowl. Lower blade will
almost touch bottom of bowl.
BE SURE TO HANDLE THE METAL BLADE WITH CARE AS
IT IS RAZOR SHARP!
4. Place food to be processed in work bowl. Put cover on work
bowl, with feed tube at about 11 o’clock. Turn the cover clockwise
until it fits into position. Cover lock must click into locked position
prior to use. If you have trouble fitting the cover on the work bowl,
turn chopping blade hub slightly and replace cover.
5. The food pusher fits in feed tube with more rounded side toward
the outside of the bowl. ALWAYS USE PUSHER TO GUIDE
FOOD THROUGH FEED TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS
OR SPATULA.
6. Plug your SmartPower Premier Duet ™ 600-Watt Blender/Food
Processor into a wall outlet. Push the On button and then the
High button to start chopping or puréeing. It is recommended that
one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use,
to provide unit stability. If the machine doesn’t start, make sure it
is plugged in and the work bowl and cover are locked into place.
The food processor will not start until the collar, work bowl and
work bowl lid are locked into place. Nevertheless, always unplug
the unit before placing hands into the food processor bowl.
NOTE: The motor base will start, but the food processor blade
will not turn until assembled properly.
The reversible slicing/shredding disc can slice and shred a variety
of fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses. See Quick Reference
guide for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding, page 13.

To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled
properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are
locked into place.
When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each
