bowls, work bowl cover, metal chopping/mixing

reversible shredding disc, stem adapter, large 
and small pushers, spatula, accessory storage

CAUTION: THE CUTTING TOOLS HAVE VERY 
SHARP EDGES. To avoid injury when 
unpacking the parts, please follow these 
instructions.
1.
Place the box on a low table or on the 
floor next to the kitchen counter where 
you intend to keep the food processor. 
Be sure the box is right side up.
2.
Open top flaps—there will be a rectangular 
block of foam that holds the processor 
parts, each fitted into a cavity in the foam.
3.
Remove the instruction/recipe book, 
cleaning tool and bowl cover (A) from one 
side of the foam block. Lift out the large and 
small pushers.
4.
Lift out the work bowls (B) and spatula (C)
from the other side of the foam block.
5.
Remove the foam block and the cardboard 
frame.
6.
Remove the housing base (D) from one side 
of the bottom of the box. Assemble the 
work bowls on the base by placing them 
over the shaft and using the handle to turn 
the work bowl counterclockwise to lock it.
7.
Place the food processor on the counter or 
table. Read the Assembly and Operating 
Instructions thoroughly before using the 
machine.
8.
The storage case (E) is on the other side of 
the bottom of the box.
9. Lift out the storage case, unlock the cover
and remove the foam block; the small 
metal chopping/mixing blade (F), dough 
blade (G), large metal chopping/mixing 
blade (H), and stem adapter (I), are each in 
a cavity. CAREFULLY REMOVE THE 
METAL CHOPPING/MIXING BLADE BY 
GRASPING THE CENTER WHITE HUB 
AND LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP. 
NEVER TOUCH THE BLADES, AS THEY 
ARE RAZOR SHARP.
10. Pull out the drawer to the storage case
with the adjustable slicing disc (J), and 
CAREFULLY REMOVE IT BY USING THE 
PLASTIC HUB. DO NOT TOUCH THE 
BLADE, IT IS VERY SHARP. The 
reversible shredding disc (K) is also in the 
drawer. Carefully remove the slicing disc 
and shredding disc by using the plastic 
hub. Remember to lock the parts in the 
storage case when not in use.
11. Save the shipping cartons and plastic foam
blocks. You will find them very useful if you 
need to repack the processor for moving or 
other shipment.
