For liquid ingredients, do not exceed 13⁄4 cups (MAX LIQUID FILL line on bowl). • For more control, process by pressing the LO or HI Pulse button briefly then releasing. Check consistency and continue if desired. • Tear bread into pieces, then process to make bread crumbs. Break crackers or cookies into pieces, then process into crumbs for use as recipe ingredients or pie crusts. • To chop carrots, celery, mushrooms, green pepper, or onion, cut into 1-inch chunks and place in bowl. This will result in more uniform consistency. • Chop nuts; mince parsley, basil, chives, or garlic. • Puree small amounts of cooked fruit or vegetables for baby food or use as a base for sauces or soups. • Do not process raw meat, coffee beans, baking chocolate, or whole, hard spices in the food chopper. This could damage the chopper. 5
