Refer to the Processing Guide B for 
maximum quantities and recommended 
speeds.
Before Use
• Pre-cut foods into small pieces for 
easier chopping. 
• Remove any bones, tendons and 
gristle from meat to help prevent 
damage to the blades.
• Make sure the anti-slip rubber ring 
(7d) is attached to the bottom of the 
chopper bowl.
Assembly and Operation
• Carefully remove the plastic cover from 
the blade.
• The blade (7b) is very sharp! Always 
hold it by the upper plastic part and 
handle carefully.
• Place the blade on the center pin of 
the chopper bowl (7c). Press it down 
and give it a turn so that it locks into 
place.
• Fill the chopper with food and put on 
the lid (7a).
• Align the chopper with the motor part 
(3) and click together.
• To operate the chopper, switch on the 
appliance. During processing, hold the 
motor part with one hand and the 
chopper bowl with the other.
• Always chop harder foods (e.g. 
parmesan cheese) at full speed.
• When chopping is complete, unplug 
and press the release buttons (4) to 
detach the motor part.
• Lift the lid up. Carefully take out the 
blade before pouring out the contents 
of the bowl. To remove the blade, 
slightly turn it then pull it off.
Caution
• Do not use the chopper accessory (7) 
to process extremely hard foods, such 
as unshelled nuts, coffee beans, 
grains, or hard spices e.g. nutmeg. 
Processing these foods could damage 
the blades.
• If using the appliance to purée hot food 
ensure the liquid is not boiling. Allow 
hot food to cool slightly to avoid risk of 
scalding.
• Never place the chopper bowl in the 
microwave oven.
«hc» Recipe example: Apple blueberry 
purée
1 oz / 25 g blueberries
½ small apple (approx. 2 oz / 60 g)
• Peel the apple and chop into small 
pieces.
• Place the apple in a pot with a small 
amount of water.
• Steam the apple on a low heat until 
soft for approximately 5 - 10 minutes. 
Add the blueberries shortly before the 
apple is done.
• Once cooled down, place the fruit 
in the chopper and blend max. 
15 seconds to a smooth consistency.
• Add water as needed.
Care and Cleaning (C) 
• Always clean the hand blender 
thoroughly after use. 
• Unplug hand blender before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the motor part (3) in 
water or any other liquid. Clean with a 
damp cloth only.
• All other parts can be cleaned in a 
dishwasher. Do not use abrasive 
cleaners that could scratch the 
surface.
• You may remove the anti-slip rubber 
ring from the bottom of the bowl for an 
extra thorough clean.
• When processing foods with high 
pigment content (e.g. carrots), the 
accessories may become discolored. 
Wipe these parts with vegetable oil 
before cleaning them.
