TIPS FOR USING FOOD PROCESSOR
1. To achieve the best result when pureeing solid ingredients, place small portions into glass jar
one by one instead of placing a large quantity all at once.
2. If you are processing solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3cm) first before putting
them into the jar.
3. When mixing solid ingredients start off with a small amount of liquid. Gradually add more liquid
through the measuring cup.
4. Always place your hand on top of the blender when operating the appliance.
