MACHINE CONTROLS

High, Low, and Mix Control Paddles
The High, Low, and Mix controls are paddles that allow
the machine to run until Off is selected. The Mix paddle
is a unique function that allows for mixing at just the
right speed for a wide range of mixing tasks.
1. Properly assemble the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through the
feed tube or directly into the bowl.
3. Press the High, Low, or Mix paddle. The white LED
light will illuminate and the motor will start.
4. Press the Off paddle when finished.
Pulse Paddle
The Pulse control is a paddle that allows the machine to
run only while it is being pressed. This capability pro-
vides more accurate control of the duration and frequen-
cy of processing. Unless otherwise specified, a pulse
should be about one second.
With the machine properly assembled and ingredients
in the work bowl, press the Pulse paddle repeatedly
as needed. The white LED light will illuminate
upon activation.

MACHINE FUNCTIONS

Using the Chopping/Mixing/Dough Blade
Chopping
• For raw ingredients: Peel, core, and/or remove seeds
and pits. Food should be cut into even, ½- to 1-inch
pieces. Foods cut into same size pieces produce the
most even results.
• Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop.
For the finest chop, either hold the Pulse paddle
down or press High or Low to run the machine
continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve
desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as
necessary. High speed is recommended for most
chopping and processing tasks.
