To activate a short, powerful pulse movement, turn the rotary switch 7 to the P setting and hold for the desired time.
To avoid cutting the ingredients too fine use the pulse function repeatedly a few times.
When processing chocolate or cheese avoid processing for a prolonged time. The appliance may heat up and the ingredients will start to melt.
When using the french fry blade 24 insert the potatoes into the feeder tube lengthwise to get longer sticks. If the potato is too large, cut it to the width of the feeder tube.
Never force the pusher 8 down the feeder tube or overfill it. Feed the food gradually.
When slicing or shredding soft foods (cucumbers, pears, cheese, and similar) use speed setting 1 to avoid turning the food into a pulp like texture.
Process large quantities of food in batches up to maximum 1200ml.
