OPERATING CONTROLS
Your SmartPower Duet™ appliance
comes with a Food Processor button.
This button is the perfect speed for all
your food processing tasks. Always use
this speed when using the food
processor. You may also use the Pulse
button with this function for pulse-
chopping.
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 using the control panel, the
LED will light next to each button
you press.
Press the On button. For continuous
operation, press the Food Processor
button. Motor will start if you have
followed assembly instructions.
To turn motor off, press the Food
Processor button again or Off button.
For on-off operation, called pulse-
chopping or pulsing, press the On
button, press the Pulse button, and
then press and release the Food
Processor button the desired number
of times. Motor runs as long as you
hold the Food Processor button down.
Motor stops when you release control
switch. Try it a few times.
You control the duration and
frequency of pulses by the length of
time you hold the Food Processor
button down and the rate at which you
press it. Allow enough time between
pulses to let food in work bowl fall to
bottom.
Always use the button for
pulse/chopping. Never turn cover back
and forth to start and stop processor.
USING THE SMARTPOWER
DUET
® BLENDER/FOOD
PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE,
AND MIX
Refer to Food Processor Assembly
instructions on page 6.
1. Remove cover and put food into
work bowl.
First, cut food into 3/4"(1.9cm) pieces.
You will get a more even chop if you start
with pieces that are all the same size.
Put pieces into work bowl with metal
blade in place. You can put in up to
1 cup of food at a time. If you want to
process more, do it in batches.
2. Put on cover and lock it. Insert
pusher. It is recommended that one
hand be placed on the food
processor lid while in use for unit
stability. Press the On button,
press the Pulse button, and the
Food Processor button (to pulse),
then release. Repeat two to three
times. Each time blade stops, let
food pieces drop to the bottom of
bowl before pulsing again. This
ensures that the blade will chop
them at every pulse.
Watch what happens to the food.
With pulse/chopping technique, you
can get an even chop without danger
of overprocessing. Check texture by
looking through work bowl. Be careful
not to overprocess.
For a coarse chop, pulse only a
few times.
3. If you want a finer chop or purée,
press the On button and then the
Food Processor button and let
machine run continuously until the
food is chopped as fine as you want
it. Check frequently through clear
cover or bowl to avoid chopping
