Getting Started (Setup)

Before first use, wash all parts that will come into contact with food in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The motor base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

1. Place the Motor Base: Position the motor base on a clean, dry, level surface. Ensure the surface is stable and the suction cups on the bottom of the base adhere securely.
2. Assemble the Container:
   • For Total Crushing Pitcher: Place the 88-oz. pitcher onto the motor base, aligning the arrow on the pitcher with the arrow on the base. Twist clockwise until it clicks into place. Insert the Stacked Blade Assembly onto the drive gear inside the pitcher.
   • For Precision Processor Bowl: Place the 9-cup processor bowl onto the motor base, aligning the arrow on the bowl with the arrow on the base. Twist clockwise until it clicks into place. Insert either the Chopping Blade Assembly or Dough Blade Assembly onto the drive gear inside the bowl.
   • For Single-Serve Cups: Add ingredients to the 24-oz. single-serve cup. Screw the Pro Extractor Blades Assembly onto the top of the cup until tightly sealed. Invert the cup and place it onto the motor base, aligning the tabs on the cup with the slots on the base. Twist clockwise until it clicks into place.
3. Secure the Lid: For the pitcher and processor bowl, place the lid securely on the container and press down firmly until it clicks into place. For single-serve cups, the blade assembly acts as the lid during blending.
4. Plug In: Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The power button will illuminate.

For manual control, turn the dial to select your desired speed:

• LOW: For light mixing and folding.
