HOW TO USE YOUR FOOD CHOPPER
Once you have cleaned, dried and assembled your chopper according to directions, place the
unit on a flat, sturdy surface (i.e., do not place on carpeting or other soft surfaces). Do not use
wet or slippery hands when handling the blade assembly.
1. Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
2. Clean and prepare the food to be used. Add food to the chopping bowl, by distributing
evenly with a spatula or other utensil. If chopping larger foods, cut them into pieces of an
even size, approximately ½ to ¼ inch pieces as described in the CHOPPING GUIDE.
3. Place the bowl cover onto the chopping bowl and place the motor housing onto the bowl
cover. The motor housing will only fit in 2 positions. Turn the motor housing clockwise
until it sets firmly into the bowl cover.
4. Plug the appliance into the power outlet and start the chopper by pushing on of the 2
speed buttons intermittently. The chopper operates with pulse control – press the button
and the chopper will run; release the button and it will stop. Try chopping on the lower
speed first, if that is not adequate, try the high speed. If the chopper is laboring; turn it off,
unplug, remove some of the mixture and continue to process in smaller batches.
5. Use a spatula to scrape ingredients toward the center of the bowl, but only if the unit is
unplugged and the blades have stopped.
6. Hard ingredients like coffee beans and ice will damage the unit. Do not chop hard
ingredients.
7. The chopper does its work in seconds. Do not operate the chopper continuously for
more than 20 seconds at a time. Stop and allow the chopper to cool for one minute after
10 seconds of continuous operation.
8. After completion of chopping, unplug the unit and reverse the above procedure to remove
the motor housing, bowl cover, blade and bowl.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. After each use and before cleaning, unplug the appliance from outlet and allow the
