chopper
The knife blade unit comes in 2
parts, a lower and an upper blade.
For coarser chopping use the lower
●
blade on its own.
For finer chopping or pureeing use
●
both blades together. This will also
give a faster result. To use both
blades fit the upper blade onto the
lower blade and turn anti-clockwise
to locate in place
the blades are sharp.
Note: After processing food, the
upper blade may disengage from the
lower blade. This is normal as the
blade assembly is designed to be
loose fitting to ease separation after
use.
1 Put the bowl base on the bottom of
the bowl. (This stops the bowl sliding
on the work top).
2 Place the unit on a clean, flat
surface.
3 Fit the desired knife blade assembly
into the bowl over the locating pin

important
If preparing food for babies or young
●
children, always check that the
ingredients are thoroughly blended
before feeding.
Do not run the food chopper
●
continuously for longer than 10
seconds. Leave to cool for 1 minute
in between each 10 second
operation.
Do not operate the food chopper if
●
the bowl is empty.
Never operate the food chopper with
●
the bowl filled with liquid.
Always allow hot food to cool before
●
processing.
hints
If the chopper labours, remove some
●
of the mixture and continue
processing in several batches,
otherwise you may strain the motor.
Remember that chopping hard foods
●
such as coffee beans, spices,
chocolate or ice will wear the knife
blades faster.
Beware of over processing some
●
ingredients. Stop and check the
consistency frequently.
Various spices such as cloves, dill
●
and cumin seeds can have an
adverse effect on the plastic of your
food chopper.
To ensure even processing, stop and
●
scrape down any food from the side
of the bowl with a plastic spatula.
The best results are obtained by
●
chopping small quantities at one
time.
Cut larger pieces of food into 1-2cm
●
pieces. A large load or large pieces
may cause uneven results.
Before chopping nuts, herbs,
●
breadcrumbs etc, ensure that both
the food and the blade, bowl and
cover are thoroughly dry.
