It is recommended that you remove the bowl from the motor
base before you remove the S-blade or whipping disc.
• To remove the blade or disc, keep a slight downward pressure
on the top of the center hub of the blade or disc while removing
the bowl from the motor base. This will form a seal to prevent
food particles from spilling into the center tube of the bowl and
onto the motor base or the work surface. REMOVE ALL FOOD
AND LIqUID BEFORE REMOVING S-BLADE OR WHIPPING
DISC, OR BOWL WILL LEAK. Then remove the S-blade or
whipping disc from the bowl by pulling upward to unlock the
seal. Handle the S-blade or whipping disc with caution; the
blades are extremely sharp.
Disassembly when removing an accessory disc
• Do not remove the work bowl until the accessory disc is
removed.
• To remove an accessory disc, place your fingers on the outer
edge of two opposite sides of the disc and lift. The disc should
remove cleanly. To remove the detachable stem, hold the disc in
one hand with the stem facing away from your hand. Be careful
not to scrape your hand on any sharp edges.
• Remove the work bowl from the unit by rotating clockwise (left)
to disengage the tabs on the bottom of the bowl platform from
the work bowl. When the bowl handle is on the left (about 7
o'clock position), you can gently lift the bowl straight up and
out.
OPERATING THE CONTROLS
• Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be
120V, 60Hz.
• There are three control buttons on the base unit.
The three controls are:
ON
OFF
PULSE
10
How they work:
ON: Press the ON button to start the motor.
OFF: To turn the motor off, press the OFF
button.
To pulse the motor, press the PULSE button
down, then release. The motor will run as
long as you hold the button down; it stops
when you release the button. Try it a few
times.
HOW TO USE
Continuous use
For continuous processing, use the ON button which is located in
the middle.
Pulsing
• For rapid on-off operation, called pulsing, use the PULSE
button located on the right. The motor runs as long as you hold
the button down; it stops when you release the button.
• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by
the amount of time you hold the button down. You control the
frequency of pulses by the rate at which you press the button.
The interval between pulses must be long enough to allow
everything in the work bowl to fall to the bottom.
• Pulsing gives you precise control over chopping, mincing,
blending and mixing. You can process food to any texture or
consistency you want, from coarse to fine.
• Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food
a few times to break up into smaller parts. Then proceed with
continuous use after the pieces are broken up and easier to
process.
• Always use the PULSE button for pulsing. Never move the
bowl and cover assembly on or off to control pulses. It is less
efficient and could damage the machine.
Turning off
Always turn the machine off with the OFF button and wait until
the blade or disc comes to a complete stop before removing
