start with pieces of food that are
similar in size. Carrots, for example,
should all be cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm)
chunks. Do not process 4-inch (10
cm) pieces with 1
• This food processor is excellent to

• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes. They will
be over-processed in a second and
turn gummy.
• Operating time will depend on quantity
of food being processed. Most foods
can be sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. Do not operate processor
for more than 1 minute at a time. If
processing large quantities, let the
processor rest about 1 minute before
continuing.
• Do not make bread dough or cookie
dough in this food processor. It may
damage the unit.
