much food into the mini-chopper

pieces and process in batches;
do not exceed recommended
maximum quantities.

chopping blade before removing
food.

cut food into small pieces of
similar size, up to 2cm square.

they are as dry as possible.

chopping blade, do not process
hard items such as frozen foods,
ice, cereals and rice.

cheeses.
• Only process hard cheeses such
as Parmesan or Romano.
