5. Operating Instructions

The Daewoo DFP-732 features a speed control knob with two speeds and a pulse function.

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut food into appropriate sizes to fit through the feed chute or to be processed efficiently by the chosen attachment. Do not overload the bowl; the maximum capacity for liquids is 1.2 liters, and for dry food, it is up to 2.1 liters.
2. Add Ingredients: For chopping or mixing, place ingredients directly into the processing bowl. For slicing or shredding, use the feed chute and food pusher.
3. Select Speed: Turn the speed control knob to the desired setting:
   • '0' (Off): Appliance is off.
   • '1' (Low Speed): Suitable for softer ingredients or lighter tasks.
   • '2' (High Speed): Ideal for harder ingredients or more intensive processing.
   • 'P' (Pulse): Provides short bursts of power at maximum speed. Hold the knob at 'P' for as long as needed, then release. This is useful for coarse chopping or when precise control is required.
4. Process Food: Allow the appliance to process food until the desired consistency is achieved. Do not operate continuously for more than 1 minute. Allow the motor to rest for at least 2 minutes between cycles.
5. Switch Off: Once processing is complete, turn the speed control knob to '0' (Off) and unplug the appliance.
6. Remove Food: Carefully remove the lid, then the attachment, and finally the processed food from the bowl. Be cautious with sharp blades.
