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

3. 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.

4. 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.

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

6. Once the Work Bowl Cover is closed, the Lid Latch will lock in position.

NOTE: Your Food Processor will not operate unless the Work Bowl Cover is fully closed, the large Food Pusher is in place, and the Work Bowl is properly seated on the Base.

***For these ingredients it is not recommended to process quantities larger than 384 g.

3. Once the Work Bowl Cover is closed, the Lid Latch will lock in position.
   NOTE: Your Food Processor will not operate unless the Work Bowl Cover is fully closed, the large Pusher is inserted to the Max Fill Line, and the Work Bowl is properly seated on the Base.

PRODUCT USAGE

Before operating the Food Processor, be sure the Work Bowl, Blades/Disc, and Work Bowl Cover are properly assembled with the Large Pusher in place or the unit will not operate (see the “Product Assembly” section).

4. Wait until the Blade or disc comes to a complete stop before removing the Work Bowl Cover. Be sure to turn off the Food Processor before removing the Work Bowl Cover, or before unplugging the Food Processor.

USING THE 3-IN-1 FEED TUBE

The 3-in-1 Feed Tube features a 3-piece Food Pusher. Use the entire Feed Tube and the large Food Pusher to process large items.

NOTE: The unit will not start if food is loaded above the Max fill line. Large pusher must be

inserted to this line in order for unit to operate. Use the medium Food Pusher in the Feed Tube to process smaller items.  Use the small Food Pusher to slice or shred the smallest, thinnest items.
