• Place the cover on the bowl, with the feed tube on the left, slightly toward the front. The locking tabs on
the cover should be at the left of the locking tabs on the front rim of the work bowl.
• Rotate the cover counterclockwise to lock it into place. When the cover is rotated into place, the safety
interlock tab on the back rim of the cover will deactivate the safety interlock mechanism located in the
safety interlock tower.
• The cover must be in place correctly, with the cover’s safety interlock tab firmly engaged with the
tower’s magnetic safety interlock mechanism, for the food processor to operate. This is an important
safety feature.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO START THE FOOD PROCESSOR
WITHOUT THE COVER LOCKED INTO POSITION.
Two Pushers for Feed Tube
Pick up the large food pusher and the small food pusher. The large
pusher is for processing larger vegetables. The smaller pusher nests
in the larger pusher and can be used for smaller vegetables, guiding
long thin vegetables for more precise cuts, or for jobs like slicing
pepperoni.
Large Pusher
Insert the small food pusher into the large food pusher opening.
When it is fully inserted, rotate the small pusher clockwise to
lock it into place. Now you are ready to insert the large pusher
into the feed tube opening. Drop the pusher in to the feed tube
gently.
Small Pusher
To use the small pusher, rotate it counterclockwise to disengage
the locking feature. Now you can lift the small pusher up and
out of the large pusher. When using the small pusher, the large
pusher becomes the feed tube for the small pusher.

ASSEMBLY of BATCH BOWL PARTS
FP25 & FP25C
We will use the terms Work Bowl, Batch Bowl and Cutter Bowl interchangeably throughout this
instruction book. They mean the same thing.
• Clean and sanitize the motor base, and wash, rinse, and sanitize the bowl, cover, food pusher, food pusher
insert and processing tools prior to initial use.
• Place the base on a counter or table near a 3-prong electrical outlet. Position it so you look at the front
of the unit and can see the control levers. Be certain that the cord is unplugged and the OFF lever has
been pressed. Do not plug in the cord until the processor is completely assembled.
• Pick up the transparent work bowl, holding it in both hands with the handle toward you.
• Place the bowl on the base, fitting its central tube over the motor shaft on the base and placing its handle
slightly to the left of front-center (at about a 7-o’clock position).
• Press the bowl down so the lower rim fits around the circular platform. Turn the bowl counterclockwise
as far as it will go. It will lock into position with the tabs on the sides of the platform.
Read this if assembling the Batch Bowl parts to use S-Blade (Cutter Blade).
• Pick up the metal blade, noting the outline on tip and the shape on the bottom.
It matches the shape of the motor shaft.
• Place the S-Blade over the tip of the motor shaft, lining up the inside of the hub with the shaft. Press it
down firmly, rotating the center hub until the blade assembly is fully seated. It should easily drop into
place. Be sure it is pushed down as far as it will go. If it is not all the way down, it may become damaged.
Push only on the center section (plastic part); never touch the cutting blade as it is extremely sharp.
• Check to be sure the blade is all the way down by turning it back and forth while lightly pushing it down.
If properly installed and fully seated, the lower blade will be positioned just above the inside bottom of
the bowl.
• If processing food with the S-Blade, now is the time to add the food or liquid to the work bowl.
Read this if assembling Batch Bowl parts to use Accessory Discs in Batch Bowl.
• Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
• Select the appropriate accessory disc: Grating disc, shredding disc, slicing disc, waved slicing disc, pulping
disc, or julienne/French fry disc.
• Each of these discs has a disc stem. The disc stem fits over the double flat in the food processor’s stainless
steel motor shaft. The stem will also fit inside either the clear plastic tube inside the bowl, or the
continuous feed chute and slinger.
• After selecting the appropriate disc, pick up the disc, either using the finger holes on the disc surface, or
holding the disc firmly between both hands. Be careful not to grab the blades or scrape your hands on the
shredding/grating nodules.
• Carefully guide the center disc hub over the metal shaft so the double flats on the shaft line up with the
disc stem. Put the disc on top of the shaft and rotate until it drops down and into place. Be sure it is
pushed down as far as it will go. Push on the outside rim only; never touch the cutting blades. It should
easily drop into place, but if not, then gently rock back and forth until you feel the disc drop into place.
Note: Do not put any food in the bowl before placing the accessory disc onto the shaft.
