Helpful Hints

1.Be careful not to over-process food. Most foods require only 3 to 10 seconds.

2.Process up to 8 cups of food at a time.

3.If food is not chopping into even-sized pieces, remove some of the food from the Processor Bowl and process smaller quantities at a time.

4.Do not attempt to process extremely hard food which are difficult to cut with a kitchen knife.

5.Remove bones, pits and hard shells before processing to avoid damage to the unit.

6.This unit is not designed for processing liquids or foods with a high liquid content.

7.Lift the Chopping Blade out before emptying the contents of the 8- Cup Processor Bowl.
