Setup and First Use

Before using your food processor for the first time, ensure all removable parts are thoroughly cleaned. Wash the processing bowl, lid, blades, spatula, tongs, measuring cup, and sterilizing basket with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry completely.

Initial Assembly:

1. Place the main unit on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface.
2. Ensure the processing bowl is correctly seated on the main unit, aligning the base with the motor shaft.
3. Insert the blades into the processing bowl, ensuring they are securely in place.
4. Close the lid securely. The safety mechanism will prevent operation if the lid is not properly closed.

Operating Instructions

The Evenflo Advanced 4-in-1 Baby Food Processor offers four primary functions:

1. Steaming Food

1. Ensure the processing bowl is clean and the blades are removed.
2. Fill the water tank with the appropriate amount of distilled water using the measuring cup. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
3. Place chopped fruits or vegetables into the processing bowl.
4. Secure the lid.
5. Turn the control dial to the desired steaming time (e.g., 15-25 minutes depending on food type). The appliance will automatically shut off when steaming is complete or water runs out.
6. Once cooled, carefully remove the steamed food using the provided spatula or tongs.

2. Blending Food

1. After steaming, or with raw ingredients, place food into the processing bowl with the blades inserted.
2. Add a small amount of liquid (water, breast milk, or formula) if a smoother consistency is desired.
3. Secure the lid.
4. Turn the control dial to the 'Blend' setting (usually indicated by a pulse icon). Use short pulses to achieve the desired texture.
5. Never operate the blender continuously for more than 30 seconds to prevent overheating.

3. Defrosting Food

1. Place frozen food (e.g., meat, vegetables, fruits) into the processing bowl.
2. Fill the water tank with the appropriate amount of water.
3. Secure the lid.
4. Turn the control dial to the 'Defrost' setting or a low steaming time. The gentle steam will defrost the food.
5. Always check the food temperature before serving to ensure it is evenly defrosted and safe for consumption.

4. Sterilizing Accessories

1. Ensure the processing bowl is clean and empty.
2. Fill the water tank with the appropriate amount of distilled water.
3. Place clean baby bottles, pacifiers, or other small accessories into the sterilizing basket within the processing bowl.
4. Secure the lid.
5. Turn the control dial to the 'Sterilize' setting. The appliance will generate steam to sterilize the items.
6. Allow items to cool before handling with the provided tongs.
