Using Your Soho Food Processor - West Bend SOHO SHFP100 Mode D'emploi

6. Plug your Soho
to start chopping or pureeing or the "PULSE" button for slicing/shredding. A
BLUE light will be on when the unit is operating. It is recommended that one
hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use to provide unit stability.
7. If the machine doesn't start, make sure it is plugged in and the container and lid
are properly locked in place. If the blades will not spin, unplug the unit and
reassemble the food processor following all of the assembly steps above.
Always unplug the unit before placing hands in the container.
8. To turn the motor off, press the "OFF" button.
9. For Pulse-Chopping, press the "PULSE" button the number of times necessary
for the ingredients to reach the desired consistency. The motor will run as long
as you press the "PULSE" button. The motor stops when you release the
"PULSE" button. For best results, allow enough time between pulses for the
food to fall back to the bottom of the food processor container.
Chopping, Puréeing and Mixing
1. Assemble the food processor following the steps on page # 4.
2. Place the chopping blade over the shaft in the food container. The chopping
blade should slide easily to the bottom of the container. The lower blade will
almost touch the bottom.
3. Cut food into approximately 3⁄4" pieces. You will get a more even chop if you
start with pieces that are all the same size.
4. Place food into the food processor container. You can process up to 5 cups of
solid foods or 3 cups of liquids in the container at one time. Chop food in
batches if you want to process more than 5 cups of solid foods at a time.
5. Place the lid on the food container and lock in place. Insert the food pusher. It is
recommended that one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use to
provide unit stability. Press and release the "PULSE" button two to three times,
allowing the food pieces to drop to the bottom of the container between pulses.
6. Watch the food closely. With a pulse/chopping technique you can get an even
chop without over-processing the food. Check texture of the food by looking
through container.
7. For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.
8. If you want a finer chop or puree, press the "ON" button and let the appliance
run continuously until the food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check
frequently through the clear lid or container to avoid chopping too fine. Use a
plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces that stick to the inside of the food
container. (Make sure that the unit is unplugged before placing any utensils
inside the food container.)
9. You may add liquid or small pieces of food to the appliance while the unit is
running by dropping the food through the open feed tube located on the food
processor lid.
