ASSEMBLING THE FOOD PROCESSOR

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 “Cleaning the Food Processor” section).

NOTE: Your Food Processor is shipped with the work bowl cover installed on the work bowl, with the mini-bowl inside the work bowl.
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.
HELPFUL TIP: See the “Lid Interlock Instructions” for more information on the best way to attach the work bowl and work bowl cover for best results.

Grasp the feed tube on the work bowl cover and turn it clockwise to remove it from the work bowl.
Lift out the mini-bowl.

Attaching the work bowl

IMPORTANT: Your Food Processor will not operate unless the work bowl and work bowl cover are properly locked on the base, and the large pusher is inserted to the maximum fill line on the feed tube (approximately halfway down).

Place the work bowl on the base, aligning the raised portion with the indentation on the base. The center hole should fit over the power shaft.
Grasp the work bowl handle and turn the bowl counterclockwise to lock it on the base.

Attaching the work bowl cover

Place the work bowl cover on the work bowl with the feed tube just to the left of the work bowl handle. Grasp the feed tube and turn the cover to the right until it locks into place.
Fit the food pusher into the 2-in-1 feed tube. See “Using the 2-in-1 feed tube” for details on working with different sized foods.

Installing the dicing kit

Place the dicing kit base inside the work bowl.
Insert the dicing blade into the dicing kit base.
Place the work bowl cover on the work bowl with the feed tube just to the left of the work bowl handle. Grasp the feed tube and turn the cover to the right until it locks into place.
After dicing, remove the work bowl cover and dicing blade, then insert the dicing kit clean out tool into the dicing kit base, and fold down to push any extra food through the grid.

Installing the adjustable slicing disc

Hold the slicing disc by the finger grips and lower it onto the drive adapter.
Install the work bowl cover, being sure it locks into place.

TIP: You may need to turn the disc/adapter until it drops down into place.

Adjusting the slicing thickness

Set the desired thickness by moving the lever to the left for thinner slices and to the right for thicker slices.
NOTE: The lever only works with the externally adjustable slicing disc. Changing thickness settings with other discs or blades installed will have no effect on operation.

Installing the reversible shredding disc

Hold the reversible shredding disc by the 2 finger grips with the desired shredding side facing UP. Insert the disc adapter into the hole in the bottom of the disc.
With the work bowl installed, slide the drive adapter onto the power shaft.
TIP: You may need to turn the disc/adapter until it drops down into place.
Install the work bowl cover, being sure it locks into place.

Place the blade on the power shaft. Rotate the blade so it falls into place on the power shaft.
Push to lock: Press down firmly on the blade until it is down as far as it will go.
Install the work bowl cover, being sure it locks into place.
NOTE: The multipurpose blade features an internal seal that fits tightly over the center of the work bowl.

Installing the mini-bowl and mini-blade

Place the mini-bowl inside the work bowl over the power shaft. Rotate the mini-bowl until the tabs on the top edge of the bowl drop into the indents on the top of the work bowl.
Insert the drive adapter into the mini-blade, and place on the power shaft. It may be necessary to rotate the blade until it falls into place. Press down firmly to lock it into place.
