Usage Guide
The three functions of your 8-Cup Food Processor allow you to chop,
shred or slice a wide variety of food quickly and effortlessly.
NOTE: Certain foods should not be chopped, shredded or sliced.
Avoid slicing raw meat. Attempting to chop ice or to grind coffee
beans will damage the Chopping Blade and 8-Cup Processor Bowl.
Very hard foods that can not be cut with an ordinary knife blade
should be avoided.
