• Remove any bones, tendons and gristle from
meat to help prevent damage to the blades.
• Make sure the anti-slip rubber ring is attached to
the bottom of the chopper bowl.
Assembly and Operation
• Carefully remove the plastic cover from the blade.
• The blades (9b/9c) are very sharp! Always hold
them by the upper plastic part and handle them
carefully.
• Place the blade on the center pin of the chopper
bowl. Press it down and give it a turn so that it
locks into place.
• Fill the chopper with food and put on the lid (9a).
• For ice crushing, use the special ice blade (9c)
and fill up to 7 ice cubes into the chopper bowl.
• Align the chopper with the motor part (4) and
click together.
• To operate the chopper, switch on the appliance.
During processing, hold the motor part with one
hand and the chopper bowl with the other.
• Always chop harder foods (e.g. parmesan
cheese) at full speed.
• When chopping is complete, unplug and press
the EasyClick release buttons (5) to detach the
motor part.
• Lift the lid up. Carefully take out the blade before
pouring out the contents of the bowl. To remove
the blade, slightly turn it then pull it off.
Caution
• Do not use the chopper accessory to process
extremely hard foods, such as unshelled nuts,
coffee beans, grains, or hard spices e.g. nutmeg.
Processing these foods could damage the
blades.
• If using the appliance to purée hot food ensure
the liquid is not boiling. Allow hot food to cool
slightly to avoid risk of scalding.
• Only the «bc» chopper accessory (9) with the
special ice blade is allowed to crush ice cubes.
• Never place the chopper bowl in the microwave
oven.

Tips for Best Results
• When mixing solid ingredients, cut them up into
small pieces of max. 2 cm.
• Always fill solid ingredients first into the mixing
container (11b).
• For particularly hard ingredients, it may be helpful
to start the device before turning to get the
maximum efficiency.
• If blending action stops during blending or
ingredients stick to sides of the mixing container,
there may not be enough liquid to blend
efficiently.
• Use the Turbo button (3) when mixing solid or
highly viscous ingredients to avoid the blade
becoming stagnant.
Caution
• Do not process carbonated or hot ingredients.
Allow hot liquids to cool to room temperature
before processing.
• Immediately stop operation and unplug the
appliance if liquids or parts of the processing
contents leak out.
• Avoid strong shaking, bumping or dropping when
in operation.
• Immediately stop operation when blade is
blocked. Disassemble and remove blockage
before continuing operation.
