   • For chopping/puréeing: Carefully place the S-blade onto the center shaft in the work bowl. Push down firmly until it seats properly.
   • For slicing/shredding: Place the reversible slicing/shredding disc onto the center shaft. Ensure the desired side (slicing or shredding) is facing up.
   • For emulsifying: Place the emulsifying disc onto the center shaft.
4. Add Ingredients: Place your ingredients into the work bowl. Do not overfill beyond the maximum fill line.

4. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, plug the food processor into a standard electrical outlet. The control dial is located on the front of the motor base.

Control Dial Settings:

• OFF: The appliance is off.
• LOW: For softer ingredients or lighter processing tasks.
• HIGH: For harder ingredients or more intensive processing.
• PULSE: Provides short bursts of power for precise control, ideal for chopping or when you need to avoid over-processing. The unit operates only while the dial is held in the PULSE position.

General Operation:

1. Ensure the food processor is properly assembled and ingredients are in the work bowl.
2. Select the desired speed (LOW, HIGH) or use the PULSE function by turning the control dial.
3. For slicing or shredding, use the food pusher to guide ingredients through the feed tube. Do not force ingredients down.
4. When finished, turn the dial to OFF and unplug the appliance.
5. Wait for the blade or disc to stop completely before removing the lid and work bowl.
