If using the reversible shredding disc,
determine whether the fine or medium side 
will be used and use the plastic hub to 
twist into position on the stem adapter. The 
plastic hub may be used for removal of this 
disc.
Cover Operation
7. Place the work bowl
cover onto the work bowl 
by positioning it directly 
over the bowls, and push 
down on the front and 
back to lock into place.
Another way to put the
cover on is by latching 
the back on first and then 
pushing down on the 
front to lock into place. 
Be sure both front and 
back locks are fully 
engaged. 
To remove the cover,
push in both sides of the 
release button (located 
on the cover interlock) 
and lift up to remove.
Note: The work bowl cover fits, locks 
and seals on the large bowl with any 
nested bowl combination. The work 
bowl cover will become easier to engage 
with repeated use.
8. Align pusher assembly and activating rod
with the feed tube opening on the work 
bowl cover and slide it down completely.
9. Plug the food processor into a proper
electrical outlet. It is now ready for use.
Note: The bowl, lid and pushers must be 
securely in place for the unit to operate.
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 the Pulse button repeatedly as 
needed. The blue LED On light will be 
illuminated upon activation.
Dough Button
1. Prepare the dough ingredients and place in
work bowl fitted with the dough blade.
2. Assemble and engage the work bowl cover
and pusher.
3. Press the Dough button and the blue LED
light will illuminate.
4. Then press the On button to knead the
dough. The blue LED On light will also be 
illuminated.
5. Press the Off button when finished.
Note: Kneading dough should only be 
done in the large work bowl.
WORK BOWLS
Three nested work bowls are provided for a very 
versatile processing experience. We recommend 
using the work bowls in a manner that will 
optimize efficiency. For example, if your recipe 
requires using multiple bowls, begin with the 
smallest 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 would be the Cherry Crumb Muffins recipe 
on page 18.
Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while 
nested. The convenient finger recesses can be 
used to remove the small and medium bowls with 
ingredients, or the bowls 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.
