5.
Plug unit in. The capacitive control buttons (PULSE and START/STOP)
will light up.
NOTE:
If buttons do not light up, it may mean the chopper
has not been assembled correctly.
6.
For continuous processing—good for pureeing soups and sauces—press
the START/STOP button. The Food will chop until the START/
STOP button is pressed again.
WARNING:
To avoid overheating the
motor, do not use the blender for more than 3 minutes continuously.
Allow the motor to cool between uses.

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

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

HOW TO USE THE FOOD
Perfectly sized for common cooking tasks, such as chopping onions and
pureeing sauces, soups, and cooked fruits and vegetables, the Food
is simple and intuitive to use.
1.
Set the chopper on a flat work surface near an outlet; do not plug in yet.
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 contents are hot.
• Do not process hard ingredients like coffee beans, thick squares of
chocolate, or hard spices, 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.
