• For mincing, chopping and pureeing, increase the length of pulses.

• For coarse chopping, use short, quick pulses and monitor food texture.

• Pre-cut larger pieces to make them ﬁt into the pitcher. When chopping hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut into 1-inch cubes.

• To crush ice into snow, start by using short pulses to break up large chunks. Continue until snow is achieved.

Food is Chopped Too Fine or is Too Watery.

Food Collects On Splashguard/ Safety Cover or On the Sides of the pitcher.

You Cannot Achieve Snow From Solid Ice.
