blade is wider than the other. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature by modifying the plug in any way.

NOTE: For your protection this unit has a Lid
interlock system. The unit will not operate
unless the Extended Tab is correctly locked
into the Base Slot. Do not attempt to oper-
ate the unit without the Lid being correctly
placed.
TO USE
1. Place food in Bowl.
The HandyChopper™
Mincer/Chopper is
designed to process
about 1/2 cup of dry
food at a time. (See
“Chopping Guide”,
page 10.) Larger
amounts should be
processed in small
batches.
2. Place the Lid on the
Bowl, with the
Figure B
Extended Tab on the
same side as the
Base Slot. Turn the
Lid clockwise into the
Slot as far as it will
go. (Figure B)

3. Depress the
Pulse/On Button for a
few seconds. Be
careful not to over-
process as most
foods process in less
than 6 seconds.
(Figure C)
NOTE: The longer the
processing cycle, the
finer the consistency.
For coarsely chopped
foods, use repeated
short pulse action
Figure C
until the proper con-
sistency is reached.
If the Chopper does
not operate, review
the “To Use” proce-
dure. Check to be
sure the Locking Tabs
on the Bowl and the
Extended Tab on the
Lid are properly posi-
tioned.

4. Be sure the Blade has stopped turning
completely before removing the Lid or plac-
ing a spatula in the unit.
5. Lift the Blade straight up by the Blade
Shaft and move it away from you before
emptying the contents of the Bowl.
6. Use a spatula to remove the processed
food from the unit.
It is a good idea to wash out the Bowl, Knife
Blade, and Lid immediately after usage
either with warm, sudsy water or in the
dishwasher. Wipe off the Base with a damp
cloth - do not immerse in liquid.
The Bowl, Knife Blade, and Lid are all dish-
washer-safe.

CLEANING

er. When the unit is not in use, leave it
unplugged. Since the Knife Blade is
