Processing Examples with the Upper and Lower Chopping Blades
The processing times indicated below are approximate and also depend on the
quantity of the food to be processed and the degree of fineness you require.
Hints & Tips for Chopping Blades
• Use both chopping blades for meats, fish, vegetables, cheese, etc. and have the
speed level set to “Max”.
• For finer chopping, increase the length of time you process. DO NOT exceed
processing times of more than 20 seconds per processing interval.
• For coarser chopping, use the “PULSE” button for a few seconds and monitor food
texture.
• Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit into the feeder tube. When chopping hard
foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into 1-inch (2.4 cm) cubes.

Hints & Tips for Blades
• For shredding, place food horizontally into the feeder tube.

• If grating potatoes or apples, add 1 tsp of lemon juice to prevent them from turning
black. Potatoes can be sliced using the thin slicing blade for chips or use the large
french fry blade if making french fries.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Caution: Make sure that the unit is
unplugged from the power source and
the speed control dial is in the “OFF”
position before inserting or removing

cleaning the chopping blade as
the blades are very sharp.
• All other parts can be cleaned in
warm sudsy water using regular
dishwashing liquid.
• If food has spilled over on to the
main unit, use the pointy end of the
spatula to clean the cracks and
crevices of the base under the food
processor bowl.
• The lid and protective blade guards
may be washed in lukewarm water
and a mild dishwashing liquid. DO
NOT place these in the dish-
washer.
