The control panel features buttons for Power, Pulse, and Play/Stop. The machine will only operate when the lid is securely on the bowl and the large pusher is inserted into the feed chute. First, power on the unit, then activate the Pulse function for short bursts or Play/Stop for continuous operation.

Attachments and Their Uses

• S-Blade (Micro-Serrated): Ideal for chopping, mincing, and blending ingredients. To use, lock it onto the spindle by holding the spindle and turning clockwise until firm, then place it into the bowl. Be careful not to over-process ingredients due to its efficiency.
• Folla de masa: Designed for kneading dough. Its plastic edges create a softer action, encouraging dough to stretch rather than cut, perfect for bread and pastry. Lock it onto the spindle similar to the S-blade.
• Reversible Shredding Disc: Features two sizes for shredding. The larger pattern is suitable for grating fruits, vegetables, or soft cheeses like mozzarella. The finer pattern is ideal for hard cheeses such as Parmesan. To use, insert the spindle into the bowl, then place the shredding disc on top. Flip the disc over to switch between fine and coarse shredding.
• Adjustable Slicing Disc: Allows for precise slicing from 1mm to 5mm thickness. Adjust the slice thickness by twisting the mechanism on the disc. Insert the spindle, then place the slicing disc on top. This disc can quickly slice delicate fruits and vegetables.
• Disco de patacas fritas: Specifically designed to create uniform French fry cuts.
• Mini Blade & Bowl: For processing smaller quantities of ingredients without needing to use the full-sized bowl.

Extra Large 3-in-1 Feed Chute

The food processor features an extra-large 5.5-inch feed chute designed to accommodate various shapes and sizes of ingredients, reducing the need for pre-prepping. It includes options ranging from 1.7 inches to 5.5 inches. Always use the chute size that best fits your ingredients for optimal results and a snug fit.
