• Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The outlet must be 120V, 60Hz.
• There are two control levers located on the base of the machine. They are on the front and they give
you fingertip control of processing. They are large enough to find easily in case of emergency.
The two controls are:

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 PULSE/OFF 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 PULSE/OFF lever for pulsing. Never move the bowl 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 PULSE/OFF 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.
