CDISMANTLING THE CHOPPER
1 Unplug the chopper (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).
2 Turn the motor unit to align the open padlock Uwith the arrow
don the lid, and lift the motor unit off the lid.
3 Lift the lid – hold it at an angle, so it drips into the bowl.
4 Hold the blade unit by the plastic part, and lift it off the spindle.
5 You may have to turn it slightly to free it from the spindle flanges.
6 Take care – the blades are very sharp.
CCLEANING
7 Take care when handling the blade unit.
8 Wipe the outer surfaces of the motor unit with a damp cloth.
9 Wash the bowl, lid, cover, and blade unit in warm soapy water.
10 Rinse to remove all traces of soap and air dry.
11 Clean inside the blade unit with a toothpick or cocktail stick.
12 Take care when storing the blade unit – whenever possible, store
the chopper assembled, with the blade unit fitted in the bowl.
13 You may wash the bowl, lid, and cover in a dishwasher, but we
don’t recommend this, as the harsh environment inside the
dishwasher will affect the surface finishes. Any damage should
be cosmetic, and shouldn’t affect the operation of the chopper.
14 Don’t put any of the other parts in a dishwasher.
CASSEMBLING AND USING THE CHOPPER
15 Hold the blade unit by the plastic part, and lower it over the
spindle in the bottom of the bowl.
16 It’s spring-loaded, so you’ll feel resistance as you push it down.
17 Check the seal is in place, or liquid might seep into the lid.
18 Put the food to be processed in the bowl:
a) don’t fill much higher than the 650ml mark
b) don’t fill more than half full with liquid, or it may overflow
c) don’t process raw meat of any description – meat must be
fully cooked and fit to eat before processing
d) don’t process large amounts in batches – if you need to
process large amounts, you need a full size processor

35 Fit the cover to the bottom of the bowl for storage. If you use the
bowl to store the processed food, fit it to the top of the bowl.

CA COUPLE OF TIPS
37 Cut the ingredients into uniformly sized pieces before processing.

(i.e. liquid temperature below 40°C).
