Hold the food-proceessor base with one hand and the bowl handle with the other. Screw the bowl onto the base by rotating it in a clockwise direction. Note: The bowl and food-processor base fit onto the motor unit in 8 different positions. The handle can face forwards or sideways, and the feedtube can face forwards, backwards or sideways.
