USING THE MINI-CHOPPER

The mini chopping bowl can be used to chop meat, fish, hard cheese, onions, garlic, 

vegetables, herbs, bread, biscuits and nuts.

It is not suitable for chopping hard foods such as coffee beans, ice cubes, spices or 

chocolate as these may damage the blade.

1.  The chopping bowl comes with a non-slip rubber ring on the base, ensure this is fitted 

correctly, this will prevent the bowl from moving during use.

2.  Remove any bones from meat or fish and cut food into bit sized pieces.

3   Fit the chopper blade over the pin in the bowl.

4  Add your food, do not overfill the bowl, take note of the maximum chopping amounts, 

and do not fill above the 500ml max line. 

5.  Fit the chopping bowl cover, turn and lock into position.

6.  Insert the motor unit into the chopper cover and twist to lock into position. 

7.  Hold the bowl steady and then select your desired speed and press the on button or for 

more of a rough chop press the turbo button in short bursts to achieve a pulse action. 

8.  When the desired results have been achieved twist the motor to unlock 

and lift the motor off the chopping bowl. Twist the cover to unlock 
from the bowl and lift off. Carefully take out the blade before 
pouring out the contents of the bowl. To remove the 
blade, slightly turn it then pull it off.
