USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR S-BLADE
IN THE BATCH BOWL
1. Cut food into 2.5cm pieces.
2. Insert the metal S-blade and put the pieces of food into the work bowl. Attach the lid and the
pusher assembly; press the pusher assembly down to lock it into place. Press and release the
OFF-PULSE (
/
) lever two or three times. Each time the blade stops, let the pieces drop
to the bottom of the bowl before pulsing again.
3. Using the pulse/chopping technique, you can get an even chop without the danger of
over-processing. Check the texture frequently by looking through the cover of the work bowl. If
you want a finer chop, press and release the OFF-PULSE (
/
) lever until you achieve the
desired texture. Onions and other foods with a high water content will quickly end up as a purée
unless examined through the work bowl after each pulse to make sure they are not overprocessed.
• For better results, ensure that all the pieces you add to the bowl are about the same size.
Ensure that the amount you process is no larger than recommended.
REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD FROM THE BATCH BOWL
1. Turn the machine off and wait for the blade to stop moving before removing the lid and pusher.
2. Remove the bowl by twisting the handle clockwise to the 7 o’clock position.
3. Firmly press the blade down to ensure that it is locked into place.
4. Tilt bowl and gently remove mixture. S-blade will stay locked in place while removing the
mixture. Never use fingers to remove food while blade is in the batch bowl.
