MACHINE CONTROLS
High and Low Control Buttons
The High and Low controls are buttons that allow
the machine to run until Off is selected.
1. Properly assemble and engage the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through
the feed tube or directly into the bowl.
3. Press the High or Low button. The blue LED light
will illuminate and the motor will start.
4. Press the Off button when finished.
Pulse Button
The Pulse control is a button that allows the
machine to run only while it is being pressed. This
capability provides more accurate control of the
duration and frequency of processing. Unless other
-
wise specified, a pulse should be about one second.
With the machine properly assembled and engaged,
and ingredients in the work bowl, press the Pulse
button repeatedly as needed. The blue LED High
light will illuminate upon activation.
MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Using the Chopping/Mixing/Dough
Blade
Chopping
• For raw ingredients: Peel, core and/or remove
seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even,
½- to 1-inch pieces. Foods cut into same size
pieces produce the most even results.
•
Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For
the finest chop, either hold the Pulse button
down or press High or Low to run the machine
continuously. Watch ingredients closely to
achieve desired consistency and scrape the work
bowl as necessary. Low speed is recommended
for making doughs and batters. High speed is
recommended for most other chopping,
processing and slicing/shredding tasks.
Puréeing
•
To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables:
Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a
smooth purée is best achieved when all the
pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and
then process High or Low until food is puréed;
scrape the work bowl as necessary. Do not use
this method to purée cooked white potatoes.
•
To purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the
solids from the liquid and process the solids
alone. Add cooking liquid and process as needed.
