Hints and tips
The metal blade can be used for chopping
meat, fish, vegetables, cheese etc, setting the speed to maximum.
For finer chopping, increase the length of
time you process.
For coarse chopping, use the pulse
button for a few seconds and monitor food texture.
Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit into
the feed tube. When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into 1 inch/2.5cm cubes.
For grating place food horizontally into the
feed tube, for slicing place the food vertically.
