OFF-PULSE
(
,
): To turn the motor off, press the
lever down and release.
To pulse the motor, press the OFF-PULSE
(
,
) lever down, then release. The
motor will run as long as you hold the
lever down; it stops when you release the
lever. Try it a few times.
HOW TO USE
Continuous Use
For continuous processing use the ON ( ) lever, which is located on
the left.
Pulsing
The pulsing function is intended for use with the S-blade in the work bowl.
• For rapid on-off operation, called pulsing, use the OFF-PULSE (
,
)
lever located on the right. The motor runs as long as you hold the
lever down; it stops when you release the lever.
• You control pulsing. You control the duration of each pulse by the
amount of time you hold the lever down. You control the frequency
of pulses by the rate at which you press the lever. The interval
between pulses must be long enough to allow everything in the
work bowl to fall to the bottom.
• Pulsing gives you precise control over chopping, mincing, blending
and mixing. You can process food to any texture or consistency
you want, from coarse to fine.
• Pulsing is also useful in processing hard foods. Pulse the food a few
times to break up into smaller parts. Then proceed with continuous
use after the pieces are broken up and easier to process.
• Always use the OFF-PULSE (
,
) lever for pulsing. Never move
the bowl (or chute) and cover assembly on or off to control pulses.
It is less efficient and could damage the machine.
Turning off
Always turn the machine off with the OFF-PULSE (
,
) lever
and wait until the blade or disc comes to a complete stop before
removing the pusher assembly. The motor stops within seconds after
the machine is turned off.
