USING YOUR MINI CHOPPER FOOD PROCESSOR
Be careful: The cutting edges of the blade are very sharp! Avoid touching them directly!
When assembling, dismantling or cleaning, always ensure that the appliance is not connected to
the mains power supply.
1. Place the processing bowl on a dry, level surface. Do not plug the cord into any electrical outlet until
the blade is assembled and food has been added.
2. Grip the central hub of the Chopping blade (plastic part) and slide it onto the shaft in the center of
processing bowl. If necessary, rotate it slightly and push down by applying a light pressure until it
clicks in and is secure.
3. Prepare the dry ingredients as directed in “Chopping Guide” section or cut it into 2cm cubes or small
uniform pieces. Place the ingredients evenly into the processing bowl.
4. When placing the motor unit onto the processing bowl, ensure that locking tabs on the bottom of the

until it clicks into place.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
8. When food processing has finished release the PULSE ON button and unplug the appliance from
the electrical outlet. To remove the motor unit, wait until the blade stops rotating completely, grasp
the motor unit firmly and lift it up.
9. To remove food from processing bowl, carefully pull the chopping blade out. ALWAYS HANDLE THE
CHOPPING BLADE CAREFULLY AS IT IS SHARP. Use the rubber or plastic spatula to remove food
from the blades and the processing bowl. Do not use the processing bowl for storing food.
HANDY TIPS:
Cut solid foods into cubes no bigger than 2cm for easy processing.
Do not overfill the processing bowl.
Do not chop very hard ingredients like fruit pits, bones, coffee beans and ice cubes. They could cause
the blade to become blunt and damage to the unit.
If the blade is blocked and not rotating cease using the appliance immediately, turn the appliance off
and unplug it from the mains. Remove the Motor unit. A spatula may be used to remove the food which
sticks to the blade or to the processing bowl.

VERY CAREFUL OF THE SHARP BLADES WHEN HANDLING.

To avoid scratching the processing bowl, use only mild non-abrasive cleansers.
It is a good idea to rinse the processing bowl immediately after use to prevent food from drying onto
the processing bowl.
Do not allow the blade to sit in soapy water, the blade is sharp and it is dangerous to feel around
under the water for the blade. Do not wash the blade in a dishwasher.
