3. Lower the blade onto the shaft. WARNING: The blade is sharp; handle with care when assembling and cleaning. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
4. When ready to chop, place the lid on top of the work bowl with the lid handle over the PULSE button. Slide the lid handle right until the handle of the lid aligns with the handle of the bowl. The processor will not run unless its parts are properly assembled.

HOW TO USE THE AUTO FOOD PROCESSOR
Perfectly sized for common cooking tasks such as chopping onions and pureeing sauces, soups, and cooked fruits and vegetables, the Auto Food Processor is simple and intuitive to use.

1. Set the processor on a flat work surface near an outlet; do not plug it in.

2.  Attach the work bowl to the base so that its handle is aligned between the two control buttons, then lower the blade onto the shaft until locked in place.

3. Add ingredients to be processed to the work bowl.
   For best results:
   • Cut the ingredients to be chopped into uniform pieces of 1 inch or less.
   • Fill the work bowl no more than two-thirds full. Overfilling can strain the motor and cause inconsistent results. Overfilling can also cause spillage that can result in serious burns if the contents are hot.
   •Do not process extremely hard ingredients, such as the whole nutmeg, which can damage the unit.
   • If including liquid, do not fill past the Max line indicated on the blade unit.

4. Secure the lid on the work bowl so that the lid’s handle aligns with the handle of the work bowl.

5. Plug the unit in. The capacitive control buttons (PULSE and START/STOP) will light up. NOTE: If the buttons do not light up, it may mean the processor has not been assembled correctly.

6. For continuous processing—good for pureeing soups and sauces— press the START/STOP button. The button will blink, and the unit will process until the button is pressed again.
   WARNING: To avoid overheating the motor, the unit will automatically turn off after 3 minutes of continuous use. Allow the motor to cool between continuous uses.

7. For short bursts of chopping, which can offer more control, press and release the PULSE button. The button will blink and the unit will process for as long as the PULSE button is held down; wait for the blade to stop spinning before pressing PULSE again.

8. If adding liquid, such as oil, while processing, slowly and carefully pours the liquid into the drizzle opening on top of the lid.

9. When ingredients are processed to your liking, press START/STOP if necessary.

10. Unplug the processor before removing the lid, work bowl, or blade.
    WARNING: Never use fingers to scrape food away from the cutting blade. Serious injury may result.

CHOPPING AND PROCESSING TIPS

While the Auto Food Processor is easy to use, these handy tips will only enhance the experience.

• Always insert the blade before adding any ingredients to the work bowl.
• Let hot foods cool down before processing.
• For the smoothest soup, strain solid ingredients and process them without the liquid, then add the liquid and process to combine.
• For the best texture when grinding meat or cheese, freeze the ingredient briefly to get it cold but not frozen solid.
• To make breadcrumbs, break bread into pieces and pulse to your desired texture.
• To make cookie crumbs to use in a crust, break them into pieces, then process until finely ground.
• When making mayonnaise or any other emulsified sauce, add the oil very slowly through the drizzle opening while pulsing or processing.
•  Use your Auto Food Processor to combine batters and even whip cream.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The Auto Food Processor must be cleaned after every use. Fortunately, that’s easy to do.

1. Unplug the unit before disassembling and cleaning.
2. The work bowl, lid, and blade are all top-rack dishwasher-safe. Or wash by hand with hot soapy water, then rinse well and dry. WARNING: Handle the blade with care as it is extremely sharp. Use caution when attaching, detaching, cleaning, or storing.
3. Clean the base by wiping it with a damp cloth. The base is not dishwasher-safe. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the base or other parts as it could damage the finish.
4. Store in a cool, dry place.
