ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This appliance is fitted with a fused three-pin plug to BS1363 which is suitable for use in all homes
fitted with sockets to current specifications. If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and carefully disposed of. To avoid an electric shock, do not insert the
discarded plug into a socket.
Fitting a new plug
If for any reason you need to fit a new plug, the flexible mains lead must be connected as shown
here. The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Connect BLUE to Neutral (N)
Connect GREEN & YELLOW to Earth (E)
Connect BROWN to Live (L)
13 amp fuse to be used
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance do not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is coloured
green and yellow MUST be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter E (Earth) or
coloured green. The wire which is coloured blue MUST be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N (Neutral) or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown MUST be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L (Live) or coloured red.
Before refitting the plug cover, check that there are no cut or stray strands of wire inside the plug.
Use a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. If you are at all unsure
which plug or fuse to use, always refer to a qualified electrician.
Note: after replacing or changing a fuse on a moulded plug which has a fuse cover, the cover must
be refitted to the plug; the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If lost, replacement
fuse covers can be obtained from an electrical shop. This appliance complies with the following
EEC Directives: 73/23 EEC (Low Voltage Directive) and 89/336 EEC (EMC Directive).
HELPFUL HINTS
-
Always insert the blade before adding food to the bowl.
-
The chopper has anti-slip feet to help keep it steady on your worktop. For added
safety, keep a firm grip on the bowl whenever the chopper is running.
-
It’s best to cut food into small, even pieces before chopping, and to chop small
quantities at a time.
-
Before chopping bread or nuts, make sure the blade and bowl are completely dry.
-
Food must be cooked before pureeing.
-
Take care not to over-process wet ingredients. Use short bursts of power and
check the consistency at regular intervals.
-
To ensure even results, you may need to scrape food down from the sides of the
bowl. Use a spoon, never your fingers. Always switch off and unplug the chopper
before scraping the bowl.
-
Carrots etc. will discolour the plastic parts. We recommend cleaning these parts
immediately after use to help prevent this.
-
Hard or rough ingredients may dull the inside of the chopping bowl. This is normal
and will not affect the chopper.
CARE AND CLEANING
Make sure the chopper is unplugged before cleaning. Wipe the power unit with a damp
cloth, using a little washing-up liquid if needed, then dry. Never immerse it in water or
any liquid.
Wash the chopping bowl, bowl cover, blade and shaker lid in warm soapy water, or place
in the dishwasher. Rinse, then dry. CAUTION: please take great care when handling the
blade; it is extremely sharp.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers as they will damage the product. Make sure
all parts are completely dry before assembling and storing the chopper. Store it well
out of children’s reach.
