• Remember that softer foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be
well chilled before processing. Harder foods such as parmesan or Romano cheese
should be at room temperature before processing. Note: When grating parmesan
cheese do not apply a lot of pressure to the food pusher.
• When processing vegetable or fruit cut the food in size to fit the feed chute. Cut
cucumber and zucchini lengthwise for example.
• Place carrots and simular roots tip facing down in the feed chute.
• The feed tube should always be packed firmly to allow each piece of food to support
the others. There will always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the
food pusher and the blade.
• Preparing longer slices: Pack food items horizontally in the feed tube,.
• Do not overload the food processing bowl. The normal processing bowl has a max
capacity of 2 litres. The mini processing bowl should not be more then half-full and
using the food collector the load should not be higher then 5 cm underneath the
edge. Use smaller portions rather then overloading the food processor.
• When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food processor
and scrape down the container sides with the spatula provided. Pull the plug out of
the power outlet and do not insert your finger into the processing bowl.
• Do not overprocess the food.

for the motor to stop completely and unplug the appliance, immediately after operation
