MACHINE CONTROLS

On Button
The On control is a continuous button that
allows the machine to run until Off is selected.

illuminate and the motor will start.
4. Press the Off button when finished.
PULSE Button
The Pulse control is a momentary button that
allows the machine to run only while it is being

WORK BOWLS

Three nested work bowls are provided for a very
versatile processing experience. We recommend
using the work bowls in a manner that will
optimize efficiency. For example, if your recipe
requires using multiple bowls, begin with the
smallest bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the
small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to reserve
chopped ingredients for a recipe.
Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while
nested. The convenient finger recesses can be
used to remove the small and medium bowls with
ingredients, or the bowls can remain nested during
pouring or food removal.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the
work bowl, this will not affect the functionality of
your work bowl.

MACHINE FUNCTIONS

Chopping
(using the Chopping Blade)
• For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove
seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even,
½ to 1-inch (1.3-2.5 cm) 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 down
or press ON to run the machine continuously.
Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired
consistency and scrape the work bowl as
necessary.
Puréeing
(using the Chopping Blade)
• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/
vegetables: ingredients should be cut into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces; a smooth purée is
achieved easiest when all the pieces are equal
in size. Pulse to initially chop and then process
ON until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl
as necessary. Do not use this method to purée
cooked white potatoes. (see Mashed Potato
recipe on page 35.)
• To purée solids for a soup or sauce: strain
the solids from the liquid and process the
solids alone. Add cooking liquid and process
as needed.
