Preparing the food chopper for use
Before using this appliance for the first time, wash the bowl, splash guard lid, mixing disc
and chopping blade in a mild soap solution or in the dishwasher. Grip the bowl using the
handles only, not the guide pin.
Setting up
Place the anti-slip mat on an even, stable work surface.
Place the bowl on the anti-slip mat.
Place the chopping blade on the guide pin and make sure that it rotates easily.
Put the prepared ingredients into the bowl.
Place the splash guard lid on the bowl so that the spaces on the edge of the lid are
precisely above the bowl handles.
Press the lid gently downwards until it sits firmly on the bowl.
Place the motor unit in the lid recess so that the protruding pieces on both sides slide
into the proper spaces in the lid and the star-shaped chopper blade bracket clicks into
place in the bracket under the motor unit.
You can turn the motor unit slightly from side to side to make it easier to click into place.
Please note that the appliance cannot be switched on if the motor unit has not been
properly attached.
Chopping
When the bowl has been filled and the lid placed on top, insert the plug in the outlet.
Hold the bowl firmly with one hand and press the upper part of the motor unit gently
downwards. The blade will start to rotate and chop the food.
Note
For the best results, work in pulses. Operating for longer periods will chop the
food too small.
Caution!
After 10 seconds, stop the appliance for one minute, to prevent damage
from overheating.
If pieces of food remain stuck to the inside of the bowl (e.g. in the case of herbs or other
moist foods), remove them with a flat stirrer or spatula, spread them around the bowl
and then chop them up with two or three pulses.
When the food has been chopped small enough, wait until the blade stops.
Unplug the appliance from the outlet.
Detach the motor unit and carefully remove the blade then you can take out the chopped
ingredients.
