III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT ALLOW THE MACHINE TO RUN
UNATTENDED.
With the power switch OFF and the bowl and blade secured in
place (per previous instructions) you are now ready to add
product to the bowl. Place the product in the bowl not over 3/
4 full and rotate the cover to secure it in place. There are two
ways to run your unit. First of all, you may run the unit
continuously by filling the bowl with food and simply letting it
run or process until the desired consistency has been reached.
Use this method to grind, mix, blend, puree, or emulsify.
Secondly, you may chop with your unit by pulsing the machine.
Quickly start and stop the motor by alternately pressing the
ON and OFF switches. The reason for this is that you want
the lower blade to pick up the product and throw it into the air
allowing the top blade to chop the product. Control and
consistency can be better achieved in this manner. Remember,
if you start with a consistent product your end product will also
be consistent. Most operations should be run on Low speed,
using High speed only when an extremely fine pureed
consistency is desired.
TO CHOP:
(Low Speed) Cut round vegetables into halves or
quarters and prep long vegetables into 3 to 4 inch pieces. To
achieve a chopped consistency for vegetables, cheese, meats,
etc. fill the bowl with the product no more than 3/4 full. With
the lid secured, and the speed selector in Low speed, alternately
press the ON/OFF buttons. Repeat this pulsing action, allowing
the blades to stop each time, until the desired cut is achieved.
Usually 4 to 5 pulses yields an evenly mixed chopped
substance.
TO PUREE OR MIX:
Fill the bowl with the product no more
than 3/4 full. Start the machine in Low speed and allow to run
until the product is completely reduced. If necessary, turn the
machine off and select High speed to finish the product. It
may be necessary to add some liquids to a puree to achieve
the desired consistency.
DOUGHS AND PASTRIES:
(Low speed only) In many cases
it may be helpful to first mix all dry products then add the
liquids. The unit should be run continuously until the product
is completely processed. For thick doughs, such as for pizza,
the machine will form a ball of dough when the mixing is
complete. When a ball is formed, the machine should be turned
off immediately to prevent over-processing. Preparation times
and all ingredients should be noted for different recipes.
TO CHOP MEAT:
(Low Speed) Place chunks of meat
approximately 1 to 2 inches square in the bowl. Fill
approximately 1/3 to 1/2 full (no more than 2 1/2 lbs). Rotate
the lid locking it in place, quickly start and stop the motor
using the ON\OFF switches. Repeat this process until product
is the desired consistency.
