Electrical Requirements
Volts: 120V A.C. only
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: This Food Chopper has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If a longer extension cord is used,
•The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
•The cord should be arranged so it
will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you
and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either
the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t immediately follow
instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are
not followed.

Operating Tips
1. To achieve optimal results, fill the
work bowl a maximum of 2⁄3full
for most foods. When chopping
raw meat, chop up to 2⁄3of a
pound (300 g) at one time. When
adding liquid, use a maximum of
3⁄4cup (175 ml). Exceeding these
quantities could result in damage
to the Food Chopper.
2. For best processing results, press
and release the PULSE control.
Continue until ingredients reach
the consistency you want.
3. Use your Food Chopper to make
bread, cracker, or cookie crumbs.
Break bread, crackers, or cookies
into small pieces, add to work
bowl and process into crumbs.
4. For uniform consistency of
processed foods, cut carrots,
celery, mushrooms, green peppers,
onions and similar vegetables into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces before
adding to work bowl.
5. Use your Food Chopper to chop
nuts and mince parsley, basil,
chives, garlic and other herbs.
6. Make baby food by using your
Food Chopper to purée cooked
fruit or vegetables. Puréed, cooked
fruits and vegetables can also be
used as bases for soups or sauces.
7. Do not use your Food Chopper to
process coffee beans or hard
spices such as nutmegs. Processing
these foods could damage the
Food Chopper.
