I. Unboxing and Initial Inspection

1. Carefully remove the Homtone 16 Cup 11-in-1 Food Processor from its packaging. Check that all the components are present, including the base, the 16-cup bowl, the 3-in-1 pusher, multiple blades (french fried potato julienne disc, 2 in 1 rough slicer & julienne disc, 2 in 1 fine slicer & julienne disc, shredder disc, stainless steel S-blade, plastic S-blade, cube cutter, masher blades, and whisk), and any other accessories.
2. Ensure that there is no damage to any part of the food processor.

II. Installation and Setup

1. Place the food processor base on a stable and flat surface.
2. Attach the desired blade to the drive shaft in the center of the bowl. For example, if you want to chop ingredients, attach the appropriate S-blade. If you need to slice or shred, select the corresponding slicing or shredding disc.
3. Lock the bowl onto the base by rotating it clockwise until the black arrow on the bowl aligns with the lock pattern on the base.
4. Insert the 3-in-1 pusher into the bowl. Make sure the pins of the pusher are inserted into the bowl properly, as the machine will not work otherwise.

III. Operation

1. Plug the food processor into a power outlet.
2. Preset Modes:
   • Align the knob on the base to "0" and wait for the screen light to flash.
   • Turn the knob to "M" and then manually touch the screen to click on one of the preset modes:
     • Pulse: Use this mode for short bursts of processing, ideal for quickly chopping or crushing ingredients to a desired texture.
     • Whisk: Perfect for whipping egg whites or cream. Place the whisk attachment on the drive shaft and add the ingredients to the bowl. Select this mode to start whisking.
     • Dough Mixing: When you need to knead dough, attach the appropriate blade (usually the S-blade) and add the flour, water, and other ingredients to the bowl. Choose this mode to knead large quantities of dough.
     • Chop: Great for chopping vegetables, nuts, or meat. Put the ingredients in the bowl and select this mode for consistent chopping.
     • Auto Clean: After using the food processor, you can select this mode to help clean the bowl. Add some water and a small amount of detergent to the bowl, and the machine will run to clean itself.
3. Manual Speed Control:
   • Start with the knob at "0".
   • Turn the knob clockwise to achieve manual stepless speed control. You can adjust the speed according to the type of ingredient and the processing requirement. For softer ingredients, start with a lower speed and gradually increase if needed.

IV. Feeding Ingredients

1. The food processor has a capacity of 16 cups with a working capacity of 14 cups.
2. Use the 3 different sizes of slots on the pusher to feed ingredients into the bowl. The wider feed slots can easily accommodate larger ingredients. Insert the ingredients through the appropriate slot and use the pusher to guide them into the processing area.

V. Safety Precautions

1. The food processor will only work when the bowl is locked to the base and the top is locked to the bowl. Always ensure these components are properly locked before operation.
2. Do not touch the blades while the machine is running or immediately after it stops, as the blades may still be moving or be sharp.
3. Unplug the food processor when not in use, especially during cleaning or blade changes.

VI. Cleaning

1. After using the food processor, turn off the machine and unplug it.
2. Most of the accessories except the base can be washed in a dishwasher. However, the water temperature in the dishwasher must not exceed 140°F, and you need to add the right amount of detergent.
3. For the base, wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any liquid.
4. If you use the Auto Clean mode, make sure to rinse the bowl thoroughly after the cleaning cycle to remove any remaining detergent.
