ASSEMBLING THE CHOPPER

To assemble, press the slip-resistant base/lid onto the bottom of the bowl. This slip-resistant base MUST be in place before operating the chopper (A).
Carefully slide the cutting blade down over the post without touching the blade as it is extremely sharp. You may have to turn the blade slightly by rotating the shaft until it falls into place.
Place the chopper top over the bowl so that the daisy notch fits over the daisy tab of the cutting blade shaft.

CHOPPING/MINCING

This chopper has a 3-cup (720 ml) dry food capacity and 1¼ cup (300 ml) liquid food capacity. Do not fill above the MAX liquid line for liquid foods. Some foods process best with smaller amounts (see CHOPPING GUIDe). Larger amounts should be processed in small batches.
Plug in the unit.
Rest your hand comfortably over the soft-grip surface of the chopper top so that your fingers extend over the pulse HIGH/LOW button area.
Press and hold the button with 2 dots (HIGH) or the button with 1 dot (LOW). Pulse for a few seconds at a time. Be careful not to overprocess. The longer you pulse, the finer the texture. For coarsely chopped foods, use LOW and pulse for shorter times.
When you release the pulse button, the operation will stop. Be sure the blade stops spinning before removing the chopper top. Unplug the unit. Grasp the shaft, twist slightly, and carefully pull the cutting blade straight up without touching the blades. empty the processed food.
You may store extra chopped/minced food directly in the bowl. Just pull the slip-resistant base off the bottom of the bowl, flip it over, and press it onto the top of the bowl to serve as a storage lid (B).

Place in the refrigerator.
