MACHINE CONTROLS
On and Pulse/Off Control Buttons
The On control button allows the machine to run until
Pulse/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 and the motor will start.
4. Press the Pulse/Off button when finished.
Pulse/Off Button
The Pulse control is a 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 should be about 1 second.
With the machine properly assembled and engaged,
and ingredients in the work bowl, press the Pulse/Off
button repeatedly as needed.
MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Using the Universal Blade for Chopping, Mixing,
and Dough
Chopping
• 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/Off button
down or press On to run the machine continuously.
Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired
consistency and scrape the work bowl
as necessary.
Puréeing
• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables:
Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a
smooth purée is best achieved when all the pieces
are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and then
process by pressing On until the food is pureed;
scrape the work bowl as necessary. NOTE: 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 and process as needed.
