OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
Using the Food Chopper
*
Only process very soft, tender pieces
of food.
*
Food pieces should not be larger than
¾-inch cubes.
*
Do not fill the processor bowls more
than half way with very soft, tender
foods like cooked apples or tomatoes.
When pureeing foods like cooked
vegetables, soft cheese, or cooked
poultry, only add a few pieces at a
time so that the unit does not jam. It
is best to batch feed when using this
appliance.
*
Avoid pureeing foods like citrus fruits
or other foods that have a lot of fiber
or hard, tough skin which can jam the
appliance.
*
Should the unit jam during use and
the blade stops turning, cease
operation and
unplug the unit from
the power source
. Disassemble the
unit to remove any food that is
jammed.
Caution: Never put your fingers or
any utensils in the Stick
Blender/Chopper during operation.
Warning: This appliance is designed
for intermittent use. Maximum
running time with the Chopper is
15 seconds. Allow unit to cool
before resuming use. Best
chopping results are achieved by
using 2-3 second pulses.
Important: To mince meat, cut the
meat into 1/2” cubes and do not
mince more than 6 oz. at one time.
Make sure that the meat, fish or
poultry is fully defrosted and that
all bones and gristle have been
removed. Allow cooked food to
cool before placing in the chopping
bowl.
Press on the switch for 2 to 3 seconds
and then let go. Repeat this
procedure until the food has reached
the desired consistency.
3. Disconnect the unit from the power
source. After the blade has fully
stopped, remove the chopper gear
box and the chopper gear box
adapter. Using a rubber spatula,
remove the chopped or minced food
from the glass beaker.
Caution: Never put your fingers or
any utensils in the Stick
Blender/Chopper during operation.
