Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put the cord, plug, or
motor base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
4. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting or taking off
parts and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after
the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free number for information on examination,
repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments is not recommended.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or
touch hot surfaces including the stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils away from cutting blades while chopping
food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the
chopper. A food scraper (spatula) can be used, but must be used
only when the chopper is not running.
11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
12. This appliance is intended for processing small quantities of food for
immediate consumption. This appliance is not intended to prepare
large quantities of food at one time.
13. Be certain the motor and cover are securely locked in place before
operating the appliance. Do not attempt to defeat the cover on this
unit.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
14. The attached motor cannot be used for other than its intended use.
15. Do not remove the lid until the blades have come to a complete
stop.
16. Do not make contact with any moving parts.
17. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use
(to chop small amounts of food).
18. This unit is intended for intermittent or short-term operation only.
19. When you pulse the unit for more than 20 seconds at a time, we
recommend stopping the motor for a short period to allow the
contents of the chopper to settle. This ensures the contents are
chopped to a desired result.
This appliance is intended for household use only. This appliance
is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade
wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a
qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the
plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to re-
duce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer
cord. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

Operating Instructions
FEATURES
Before First Use:
Wash lid, bowl, blade and bowl mat in hot soapy water and rinse well. The blade is sharp;
handle with extreme care. Make sure the lid, bowl, blade and bowl mat have dried com-
pletely before using the appliance.
1. Place the bowl on a counter or flat level surface. Carefully slide the blade down over
the shaft in the bowl. Be careful not to touch the blade as it is extremely sharp.
2. Place food in the bowl, certain foods may need to be cut to fit in the chopping bowl.
3. Place the bowl lid onto the bowl, then position the motor onto the bowl. The emboss-
ment on the bowl cover is linked with the hole on the motor. It is very important that
the holes in the motor and the top of the blade line up completely or the motor will not
lock in place. The unit will not operate properly if the motor is not locked in place.
4. Press the power button to activate the chopper. NOTE: It is recommended that you
“pulse” the power button while chopping for certain foods. Holding down the power
button will cause certian foods to over chop.
5. Make sure the blade stops moving COMPLETELY before removing the motor, you
may need to grasp the plastic blade hub to remove the motor, and bowl cover. Unplug
the unit. Carefully remove the blade from the bowl prior to removing the processed
food. Do not use the bowl for storing food.
