TO CHOP, PURÉE AND MIX
1. Assemble the food processor following the steps on page 12.
2. Cut food into approximately
3
⁄
4
" pieces. You will get a more even chop if you
start with pieces that are all the same size.
3. Place food into food processor goblet with the chopping blade already in
place. You can put up to 1 cup of food in the goblet bowl at a time. Chop
food in batches if you want to process more than 2 cups at a time.
4. Place lid on goblet and lock it in place. Insert food pusher. It is
recommended that one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in
use to provide unit stability. Press and release the PULSE button two to
three times, allowing the food pieces to drop to the bottom of the goblet
between pulses.
5. Watch the food closely. With pulse/chopping technique you can get an
even chop without over-processing the food. Check texture of the food by
looking through goblet.
6. For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.
7. If you want a finer chop or puree, press the ON button and let machine run
continuously at MEDIUM speed until the food is chopped as fine as you
want it. Check frequently through clear lid or goblet to avoid chopping
too fine. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces that stick to the
inside of goblet. (Make sure that the unit is unplugged before placing any
utensils inside the goblet.)
8. You may add liquid or small pieces of food to the machine while the unit is
running by dropping the food through open feed tube located on the food
processor lid.
Below are some conditions that affect your results:
• Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should be about the same size.
• Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.
• Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse/chopping.
