PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS
1. Food Pusher: The Food Pusher fits into the Food Chute.
By varying the pressure put on the Food Pusher, the
speed and quality of processing can be controlled.
2. Food Chute/ Cover: The Food Chute/ Cover positions
ingredients for processing. The Locking Tabs on the
Food Chute/ Cover are part of an Interlock System that
assures the unit will not operate unless it is properly in
place (see “Interlock Mechanism”).
3.
3. Interlock Mechanism: The Interlock Mechanism is
located at the top of the Base and allows the Tab
located on each Cover to slide into it and lock into
place. This insures proper operation and secure
assembly, as the appliance will only operate if the
Cover is positioned correctly in the Interlock
Mechanism.
4. Slicing/ Shredding Disc: This dual function Disc allows
you to slice food on one side, then flip it over and use
the other side for shredding. Finger Grips provide safe
and easy handling of the Disc.
5. Disc Post: The Disc Post holds the Slicing/ Shredding
Disc.
6. Knife Blade: The Knife Blade is used for chopping,
mincing and mixing ingredients.
7. Container: This 2-cup Container locks onto the Base by
fitting the Locking Tabs on the Container into the slots
located on the Base. Turn the Container clockwise to
lock into place.
8. Base: The Base houses the motor.
9. ON/ OFF/ PULSE Switch: This conveniently located
Switch requires only one-finger operation, making it
very easy to operate.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the Mini Food Processor and remove all packaging
materials. Handle the Knife Blade and Slicing/ Shredding Disc carefully;
they are very sharp. Set the Base on a clean, dry countertop or table.
Wash all parts except the Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. The Base may be wiped with a damp cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER.
USING THE ON/ OFF/ PULSE SWITCH
The ON/ OFF/ PULSE Switch is conveniently located on the top of the Mini
Food Processor. The three positions operate as follows:
ON
When the Switch is pressed to the ON position, the
unit will begin operation. It will continue to operate
until the Switch is pressed to the OFF position. Use the
ON position for longer processing tasks, such as making
salad dressings or dips.
FIGURE 2
PULSE
When the Switch is pressed to the PULSE position and held, the unit will
begin to operate. When the PULSE position is released, the operation will
stop. Use this position for short processing tasks, such as chopping
vegetables or nuts. You will find that the PULSE position is used more
frequently, as it gives you greater control over your food processing.
OFF
The OFF position is the middle position. Always leave the Switch in the OFF
position while you are preparing foods for processing and when the unit is
not in use.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
•
•
•
Fresh, crisp and firm fruits and vegetables process best.
Fruits and vegetables should be processed at refrigerator temperature.
Wash and remove inedible parts of food before processing.
Process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients second when using
several different foods in a recipe or making several different recipes;
this reduces the number of times the Container must be washed and
dried.
•
•
•
When slicing and shredding, cut longer and larger foods to fit the
length and width of the Food Chute.
When chopping, cut pieces in uniform size pieces. Large pieces tend to
chop unevenly.
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the Container when necessary.
