5 The chopper has variable speeds. Press and hold the
appropriate button to switch the mixer on. Release
the button to switch the unit off.
6 Use the slow speed where possible especially if you
want to chop the food into bigger pieces. The high
speed can be used for chopping the food to small
pieces or for pureed foods.
7 You can adjust the speed of the unit with the speed
control when using slow speed or high speed function.
8 Set the speed control dial to the desired speed and
depress the slow or high speed button as desired.
9 If the ingredients stick to the chopper bowl sides,
loosen them by adding a small amount of liquid or by
using a spatula to scrape the food back into the inner
part of the bowl.
10 Release the speed control button and allow the blade
to come to a complete stop before removing the bowl
cover by turning cover to the left. Take care when
removing the blade and hold only by the shaft handle
as the metal blade is sharp.
note: Do not clean blades with fingers but use a spoon
or spatula to scrape food into bowl after blade is removed.
caution: Unplug the appliance before attaching
the chopper attachment. Put the food ingredients
in the chopper bowl, secure the bowl cover to the
chopping bowl and attach the motor housing to it.
Use the slow speed, especially if you are chopping
lumps in the ingredients. The high speed can be
used as a finishing touch.
