3. Carefully place the desired blade (chopping/mixing or dough blade) or disc (slicing/shredding) onto the center stem in the work bowl. Ensure it sits securely.
4. Add ingredients to the work bowl.
5. Place the work bowl cover onto the work bowl, aligning the tab on the cover with the slot on the work bowl handle. Twist clockwise until it locks. The safety interlock must engage for the unit to operate.

Operating Instructions

Food Processing:

1. After assembling the food processor with the desired blade or disc and ingredients, plug the unit into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Use the 'ON' or 'PULSE' setting to operate. The 'PULSE' setting provides greater control for chopping and dicing.
3. For continuous operation, select 'ON'. For short bursts, use 'PULSE'.
4. When using the slicing/shredding disc, feed ingredients through the feed tube using the food pusher. Never use your fingers.
5. Do not overload the work bowl. The maximum capacity is 3 cups for most ingredients.
6. When finished, turn the unit 'OFF' and unplug it before disassembling.

Citrus Juicing:

1. Assemble the juicer attachment as described in the Setup section.
2. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet.
3. Cut citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits) in half.
4. Place a fruit half onto the reamer and press down gently. The motor will activate, and juice will flow into the work bowl.
5. Continue until all juice is extracted.
6. When finished, turn the unit 'OFF' and unplug it before disassembling and cleaning.
