the PULSE button until you

achieve the desired texture.

Onions and other food with

a high water content will

quickly end up as a purée

unless examined through

the work bowl after each

pulse to make sure they

are not overprocessed.

Try chopping other food

like meat for hamburger

or sausage. Then make

mayonnaise, pastry or

bread, as described in

the following sections. To

obtain consistent results:

Be sure all the pieces you

add to the bowl are about

the same size.

Be sure the amount you

process is no larger than

recommended on the

inside cover of this booklet.

Before you do anything,

wait for the blade to stop

spinning. Once it does, turn

the cover clockwise to

unlock and remove by

lifting it off.

Remove the bowl from the

base of the machine before

removing the blade. This

creates a seal to prevent

food from leaking. Turn the

bowl clockwise to unlock

from the base and lift

straight up to remove.

To prevent the blade from

falling from the work bowl

onto your hand when

emptying the work bowl,

use one of the following

methods. Be sure your

hands are dry.

Grab the blade hub, and

remove the metal blade

before tilting the bowl,

using a spatula to scrape

off any food. Then carefully

lift the blade out of the

work bowl. Or insert your

finger through the hole

in the bottom of the work

bowl, gripping the blade

from the bottom, and grip

the outside of the work

bowl with your thumb. Or

hold the blade in place with

your finger or spatula while

pouring out food.

TECHNIQUES FOR

CHOPPING AND

PURÉEING WITH

THE METAL BLADE

To chop raw fruits

and vegetables:

First cut the food into

1-inch (2.5cm) pieces.

You get a more even

chop when all pieces are

about the same size.

Put no more than the

recommended amount

of food into the work bowl

(see table inside front

cover). Lock the cover in

place. Press the PULSE

button at the rate of 1

second on, 1 second off,

until the food is coarsely

chopped. For more finely

chopped results, hold

the PULSE button, letting

the machine run continu-

ously until the desired

consistency is reached.

Check frequently to avoid

overprocessing. Use the

spatula to scrape down

the sides of the work bowl

if necessary.

To purée fruits and

cooked vegetables:

First, cut the food into

1-inch (2.5cm) pieces.

You get a smoother purée

faster when all pieces are

about equal in size.

Put no more than the

recommended amount of

food in the work bowl (see

table inside front cover).

Lock the cover in place.

PULSE to chop coarsely,

then press the ON button

and process continuously

until food is puréed.

(NOTE: Cooked potatoes

are an exception to this

procedure. They develop

a gluey texture when

processed with the

metal blade.)

When making soup, you will

want to purée vegetables

that have been cooked in

liquid. Don’t add the liquid

to the work bowl, just the

cooked vegetables; remove

vegetables with a slotted

spoon. They will purée

faster and smoother without

liquid. Then add just enough

liquid to make the purée

pourable; return to the soup

liquid and stir to combine.

To dislodge food

Occasionally, a piece of

food may become wedged

between the blade and the

work bowl. If this happens,

unplug the machine, remove

the cover, lift the blade

out carefully and remove

the wedged piece. Empty

the bowl, reinsert the blade

and lock the cover and

pusher into place. Press

the ON button and drop

the food pieces through

the small feed tube opening

while the machine is

running. After adding a

cupful this way, add the

remaining food to the bowl

and process in the usual

manner.
