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.

Hints & Tips for Blades
•For shredding, place food horizontally into the feeder tube.
•For slicing, place the food vertically.
•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 attachments.
•Never immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
•Clean the main unit with a damp cloth only.
•Use extreme caution when 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.
