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.
CAUTION
Carefully remove the protective blade guards from blades before using in the food
processor.
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.
Processing Examples for Blades
Recommended speed for processing with chopping blades is High.
