IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
• Read all instructions before using the Food Chopper.
• Ensure the rated voltage shown on the rating label corresponds with the
voltage of the power supply.
• Always place and operate the appliance on an even, stable, clean, and dry
surface.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot
surfaces.
• To protect against fire, do not operate the appliance in the presence of
explosive and/or flammable fumes.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near chil-
dren, including this Food Chopper. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they are provided with supervision and instructions con-
cerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do
not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt
to repair the appliance yourself. In case of malfunction, repairs are to be con-
ducted by qualified personnel only.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer
or separate remote-control system.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appli-
ance manufacturer may cause injuries or damage the product.
• To protect against the risk of electrical shock, never put the cord, plug, or
base in water or other liquids.
• Make sure the appliance is cleaned thoroughly before using it.
• Turn the appliance OFF and then unplug from the outlet when not in use,
before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug,
1
grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
• Always assemble the appliance completely before plugging it into an elec-
trical outlet.
• The appliance will not operate unless properly assembled.
• Always secure the Bowl onto the Base before attaching the blade.
• To enable operation, always ensure the Lid is securely locked in place.
• Make sure the motor has completely stopped before removing the Lid.

to come into contact with the blade. Use great care when handling the blade
and avoid touching the sharp edges of the blade. Use protective gloves if
necessary. Store the blade safely.
• Be careful to prevent the Blade from falling out of the Bowl when emptying
the Bowl. Remove it before tilting the Bowl.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when plugged in.
• Avoid coming into contact with moving parts. Keep hands, spatulas, and
other utensils away from moving blade while processing food to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the Food Chopper.

blade. We recommend that you use a blender for ice crushing.
• This appliance has a polarized electrical plug for the wall socket (one blade
is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entan-
gled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked elec-
trical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be installed so that it does
not hang over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over unintentionally.
• If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Food Chopper
may not function properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances.

BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all plastic bags and packaging material from the appliance and
dispose of appropriately to keep out of reach of children.
• Be careful when handling the blade as it is extremely sharp.
• Wash the Bowl, Lid, and S-blade in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. These parts may also be washed in the dishwasher, top
rack only (keep the temperature below 140°F/60°C).
• Always use the Food Chopper on a dry, level work surface.
• When first using your Food Chopper, you may notice an odor coming from the
motor. This is normal and will dissipate with use.
WARNING: The blades on this appliance are extremely sharp. Handle
carefully.
FOOD PREPARATION
• Do not process food containing hard objects, such as meat containing
bones or fruits with large hard stones, which cannot be safely broken up.
Remove bones from meat, stones from fruit, etc. Peel, core, and/or remove
seeds and pits.
• Food should be cut into small, even pieces. Foods cut into same-sized
pieces produce the most even results.
NOTE: This appliance is not suitable for:
• Chopping hard items such as ice cubes or frozen produce.
• Grinding coffee beans or converting granulated sugar to caster sugar.

ASSEMBLY AND USE
Make sure the Food Chopper is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
Place the Base on a flat, level, stable surface.
Place the Bowl onto the Base by aligning the tabs on the Base of the
Bowl with the slots on the Base and turning the Bowl clockwise until it
locks into place.

Carefully place the blade attachment over the center shaft of the bowl.
Avoid contact with the sharp blades.

NOTE: Do not fill the Bowl above the marked ‘3-Cup’ level to allow room
for processing. For liquid ingredients, do not fill above the marked
“MAX LIQUID FILL” line.

Press the LOW or HIGH Pulse Button to start processing. To stop,
release the Button.
Use the Food Chopper with a pulsing action. The longer the continuous
pulse, the finer the texture. For coarsely chopped foods, use short
pulses.
NOTE: Do not run the appliance continuously for more than 30 seconds.
After chopping continuously for 30 seconds, allow the appliance to rest
for at least one minute before resuming.
Wait until the Blade has completely stopped running before removing
the Lid.
Unplug the Food Chopper from the electrical outlet when it is not in use
or is left unattended.

CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning, make sure to remove the power cord from the power outlet.
Base
• Base, Pulse Buttons, and non-slip rubber feet may be wiped with a damp
cloth. Dry thoroughly.
• Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.
• Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the Base or the power cord in water or any
other liquid.
Removable Parts (Lid, S-Blade, Bowl)
• To make cleaning easier, rinse the removable parts immediately after use to
prevent food particles from drying.
• Hand wash in warm, soapy water using a mild liquid detergent.
• DO NOT use metal or other abrasive cleaning tools or cleansers on any plas-
tic or metal parts. Use only warm soapy water and remove stubborn residue
with a non-abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon brush.
• All removable parts may occasionally be washed in the dishwasher (top rack
only with the temperature kept below 140°F/60°C), however, washing in the
dishwasher is not recommended on a regular basis, as prolonged exposure to
harsh detergents, hot water, and pressure will damage and shorten the life of
the plastic and the interlock components.
• Blade is extremely sharp; handle carefully. Always use a spatula or brush to
remove food from the blade. If you wash the blade by hand, do so carefully.
• Always allow all parts to dry completely before assembling and using the
appliance again.

Stubborn Food Stains and Odors
Strong smelling foods such as garlic, fish, and some vegetables such as
carrots may leave an odor or stain the Bowl or the Lid. To remove them, make
a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and 2 tablespoons warm water. Apply
the paste to the stains and rub with a soft cloth. Rinse in soapy water and dry
thoroughly.
STORAGE
• Store your Food Chopper upright, with the Bowl and Lid resting in position
but not locked. Locking the Bowl and Lid can put unnecessary strain on the
safety interlock.
• Handle and store the blade carefully. Its cutting edges are very sharp.
• All accessories should be kept in a safe place out of reach of children.
• Protect the appliance, its power cord, and power plug from dust, direct sun-
light, dripping, and splashing water.
