pushing down on the
front to lock into place.
Be sure both front and
back locks are fully
engaged.

release button (located
on the cover interlock)
and lift up to remove.

bowl with any nested bowl combination.
The work bowl cover will become easier
to engage with repeated use.

with the feed tube opening on the work
bowl cover and slide it down completely.

electrical outlet. It is now ready for use.

MACHINE CONTROLS

On Button
The ON control is a continuous button that
allows the machine to run until OFF is selected.
1. Properly assemble and engage the
machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either
through the feed tube or directly into the
bowl.
3. Press the ON button. The blue LED light
will illuminate and the motor will start.
4. Press the OFF button when finished.
Pulse Button
The PULSE control is a momentary button that
allows the machine to run only while it is being
pressed. This capability provides more accurate
control of the duration and frequency of
processing. Unless otherwise specified, a pulse
is about one second.
1. With the machine properly assembled and
engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl,
press PULSE repeatedly as needed. The
blue LED ON light will be illuminated upon
activation.

WORK BOWLS

Two nested work bowls are provided for
versatile processing. We recommend using the
work bowls in a manner that will optimize
efficiency. For example, if your recipe requires
using both bowls, begin with the small bowl to
minimize cleaning. This way the small bowl can
serve as a prep bowl to reserve chopped
ingredients for a recipe. A great example of this
method is the Cherry Crumb Muffins recipe on
page 36.
Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while
nested. The convenient finger recesses can be
used to remove the small bowl with ingredients,
or the bowl can remain nested during pouring or
food removal.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the
work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of
your work bowl.

MACHINE FUNCTIONS

Chopping
(using the Chopping Blade)
• For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove
seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even,
½- to 1-inch pieces. Foods cut into same size
pieces produce the most even results.
• Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop.
For the finest chop, either hold the pulse down
or press ON to run the machine continuously.
Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired
consistency, and scrape the work bowl as
necessary.
Puréeing
(using the Chopping Blade)
• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/
vegetables: Ingredients should be cut into
1-inch pieces; a smooth purée is achieve most
easily when all the pieces are equal in size.
