B. CHOPPING/MIXING BLADES
Bladelock Feature
The BladeLock feature is designed to keep the blade in place during processing, pouring, lifting,
and handling tasks — but is not permanently attached. Handle with care. Always check to be sure
the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down.
Large Chopping/Mixing Blade Operation (Fig. 3)
Fit the Large Work Bowl to the base. Grasp the Large Chopping/Mixing Blade by its hub and align
it over the center of the bowl. Place it onto the shaft and push down until it locks into place. Fit
the Work Bowl Cover or Flat Cover. After processing, check to be sure the blade is securely locked
before pouring from the bowl. To remove the blade, firstly detach the cover, then remove the
bowl from the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl
and pull the blade up gently and carefully.
Small Chopping/Mixing Blade Operation (Fig. 4)
Fit the Large Work Bowl to the base. Place the Stem Adapter onto the hub in the center of the
bowl. Next, put the Small Work Bowl into the Large Work Bowl, positioning it over the Stem
Adapter. Grasp the Small Chopping/Mixing Blade by its hub, placing it on the Stem Adapter. Push
down firmly to lock. Fit the Work Bowl Cover. To remove the blade, firstly detach the cover, then
remove the Small Work Bowl from inside the Large Work Bowl and put it on a flat surface. Rest the
heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl and pull the blade up gently and carefully.
Hints & Tips
Chopping
• For raw ingredients: Peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even, 1.5-
2.5cm pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces produce the most even results.
• Pulse food in 1-2 second increments to chop. For the finest chop, either hold the Pulse button
down or press High or Low to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to
achieve desired consistency and scrape the sides of the work bowl as necessary. High speed is
recommended for most chopping and processing tasks.
Puréeing
• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables: Ingredients should be cut into 2.5cm pieces; a
smooth purée is best achieved when all the pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and
then process on High or Low until food is puréed; scrape the sides of the work bowl as necessary.
Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes.
• To purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the solids from the liquid and process the solids alone.
Add cooking liquid through the feed tube and process as required.
NOTE: Maximum puréeing capacity is 1150ml.
