B The dual blade
This appliance processes using a dual blade with a sharp, curved edge for chopping/mixing
and a flat, blunter edge for grinding.
C Control switches
To start operation, simply press one of the two switches and hold down for the desired
length of time.
Use the ‘Chop’ speed switch for chopping, puréeing and mixing food with the sharp edge
of the blade.
Use the ‘Grind’ speed switch for grinding and for chopping hard food with the blunt edge
of the blade.
A ‘pulse’ action is best when you are using the sharp edge of the blade. Two or three
pulses are often enough. Ensure you check the food frequently to prevent over processing.
Over processing will result in a watery paste instead of a fine chop.
N B Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, we recommend using one
hand to support the appliance during operation
Continuous hold action is best when you are using the grind function. When you operate
the unit for more than 10 seconds, use a pulse action every 10 seconds or so to allow food
to drop to the bottom of the work bowl. This provides more consistent results.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the Mini Prep Pro continuously for longer than 20
seconds at a time
