Chop	1 or 0/Pulse	Cheese

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Food Processor for the first time, wash all parts and accessories either by hand or in the dishwasher (see the “Care and Cleaning” section). Your Food Processor is designed so that all accessories may be stored inside the Work Bowl.

Lift up the Lid Latch to unlock the Cover.
Tilt the Work Bowl Cover back and lift it straight up so that the Lid Hinge pulls out of the Handle Hinge.

Remove all parts and accessories from the Work Bowl, and lift the Food Pusher out of the Feed Tube.

ASSEMBLING THE FOOD PROCESSOR
IMPORTANT: Place the Food Processor on a dry, level countertop with the controls facing forward. Do not plug in the Food Processor until it is completely assembled.

Place the Work Bowl on the Base, aligning the Handle with the raised button on the right side of the Base. The Bowl will click into place and should be flush against the Base when properly aligned. Place the Drive Adapter in the Work Bowl, lowering it onto the Drive Pin.
NOTE: For ease of assembly, install the desired Blade or Disc before attaching the Work Bowl Cover.

To attach the Work Bowl Cover, hook the Lid Hinge into the Handle Hinge on the Work Bowl and close the Cover.

Once the Work Bowl Cover is closed, push the Lid Hinge down into the locked position.
NOTE: Your Food Processor will not operate unless the Work Bowl Cover is fully closed and the Work Bowl is properly seated on the Base.

INSTALLING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE OR DOUGH BLADE

Place the Blade on the Drive Adapter.
Rotate the Blade so it falls down to the base of the Adapter.

Install the Work Bowl Cover, and be sure the Lid Latch is pushed down to the locked position.

INSTALLING THE REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC OR JULIENNE DISC

To Sice: Turn the Disc so that the raised Slicing Blade is facing up.
To Shred: Turn the Disc so that the small, raised Shredding Blades are facing up.
To Julienne: Insert the Disc so that the raised Slicing Blade is facing up.

The Disc can be placed in two different positions: level with the top of the Bowl for processing, and lower, inside of the Bowl for storage.
NOTE: While the Disc will operate in the storage position, it will not perform as well. Make sure the Disc is level with the top of the Bowl for best performance.

Hold the Disc by its center hub and lower it onto the Drive Adapter, aligning the mark on the center hub of the Disc to the matching mark on the Adapter. When properly placed, the Disc should be level with the top of the Bowl. If the Disc falls to the storage position, lift it out, turn it 90°, and lower it again.

Install the Work Bowl Cover, and be sure the Lid Latch is pushed down to the locked position.

USING THE JULIENNE DISC

Insert Julienne Blade into the processor with the blade facing up. Close the Lid Latch to secure the position.

Prepare ingredients by cutting into about 25 mm sections, short enough for the vegetable to fit into the Feed Tube.

The 2-in-1 feed tube features a 2-piece food pusher. To slice or shred small items, insert the 2-piece food pusher into the feed tube.
Use the small feed tube and pusher to process small or slender items, like single carrots or celery stalks.
To slowly drizzle oil into the ingredients, just fill the small pusher with the desired amount of oil. A small hole in the bottom of the pusher will drizzle the oil at a constant rate.

REMOVING PROCESSED FOODS
