OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS:
Try chopping some practice
foods, such as zucchini
or potatoes, before you
process food to eat. First,
cut the ingredients into
1-inch pieces of even size
and length.
• Place the work bowl over
the center stem and turn
counterclockwise to
lock in place.
• Insert the metal chopping
blade and put ingredient
pieces in the work bowl.
Put on the cover and turn
counterclockwise to lock
onto work bowl. Align the
pusher and the pusher’s
activating rod with the
corresponding openings
on the feed tube, and
push all the way down.
• Press and release the
PULSE button two or
three times. Each time
the blade stops, let the
pieces drop to the bottom
of the bowl before you
pulse again. This puts
them in the path of the
blade each time the
motor starts.
• Using the pulse/chopping
technique, you get an
even chop without
overprocessing. Check
the texture frequently
by looking through the
cover. If you want a finer
chop, press and release
the PULSE button until
you achieve the desired
texture. Onions and other
food with a high water
content will quickly end
up as a purée, unless
examined through the
work bowl after each
pulse to make sure they
are not overprocessed.
Try chopping other food like
meat for hamburger
or sausage. Then make
mayonnaise, pastry or
bread, as described in
the following sections. To
obtain consistent results:
• Be sure all the pieces
you add to the bowl are
about the same size.
• Be sure the amount you
process is no larger than
amount recommended
on the inside cover of
this booklet.
