• Only use water in the water reservoir. Fill water reservoir
to MAX fill line only.
• When chopping, for a more uniform consistency, start with pieces
of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm)
pieces before processing with Puree/Chopping Blade and leave
room in bowl for the food to be tossed around.
• When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best
results.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed.
Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If
unit is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let
the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they
are easily overprocessed and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar
or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese
should be processed immediately after being removed from the
refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the
freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm
enough for shredding.
• The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the
blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft
with desired cutting edge facing up.
• This baby food maker is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred
most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use
your baby food maker for the following: grinding grain, coffee
beans, or spices; slicing frozen meats; kneading dough; or
crushing ice.
