How to use your Food Chopper
1.
Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface (i.e., do not place on carpeting or other soft surfaces). This appliance is
not for use in convection or conventional ovens, microwaves, or on a stovetop.
2.
3.
4.
Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
Wash and dry all components thoroughly.
Assemble chopper components by placing the blades onto the pin in the chopper bowl. Chopper blades are
extremely sharp; never touch the cutting edge of blades. Use the plastic spindle to position the blades in the
bowl. Do not use wet or slippery hands when handling the blade assembly.
5.
6.
Clean and wash the food to be used.
Add food ingredients to the chopping bowl, distributing them evenly with a spatula (not included). When
chopping larger foods, pre-cut them into pieces of an even size, approximately ½ inch to ¼ inch pieces (see
CHOPPING GUIDE).
7.
Place the bowl cover onto the chopper bowl. NEVER OPERATE THE CHOPPER UNLESS THE COVER AND
BOWL ARE CORRECTLY POSITIONED. Place the motor housing onto the bowl cover. The motor housing
will only fit correctly in 2 positions. Turn the motor housing clockwise until it sets firmly into the bowl cover.
8.
9.
Plug the appliance into the power outlet.
Start the chopper by pushing one of the 2 speed buttons intermittently. The chopper operates with pulse control
– press the button and the chopper will operate; release the button and it will stop. Try chopping on the lower
speed first. If that is not adequate, try the high speed.
10.
11.
12.
13.
If the chopper is laboring, turn off the unit, unplug it, remove some of the mixture and continue to process in
smaller batches.
A spatula can be used to scrape ingredients toward the center of the bowl, but only if the unit is unplugged first
and the blades have stopped.
Hard ingredients such as coffee beans and ice will damage the blade. Do not use the food chopper for hard
ingredients.
The chopper does its work in seconds. Do not operate for longer than 20 continuous seconds at a time. Stop
the chopper and allow it to cool for 1 minute after 10 seconds of continuous operation.
14.
15.
After completion of chopping, unplug the unit.
Reverse the above procedure to remove the motor housing, bowl cover, blade and bowl.
