Chopper Attachment
• Place the ingredients to be chopped into the chop-
ping cup while it is upside down.
• Place the blade unit over the top of the chopping
cup with the blades facing downwards and rotate
the blade assembly clockwise.
• Turn the chopper right side up with the blade unit
at the bottom.
• Place the chopper on the motor housing with the
indentation in the plastic of the chopping cup at the
"11 o'clock" position and rotate in clockwise until it
is in the "2 o'clock" position.
• Use the speed selection dial to select the appropri-
ate speed for chopping.
• When removing the chopper from the motor hous-
ing take care not to twist the chopper off the blade
unit. Rather twist the chopper at the blade unit in
order to avoid the contents from spilling.
• Turn the chopper upside down and remove the
blade unit.
• If you would like to keep the contents in the chop-
per use the lid provided. Screw this onto the chop-
per as you did the blade unit.
Other Functions:
Pulse Function
• This unit has a Pulse function. This can be used
when you want complete control of chopping/
blending.
• The blades will rotate at maximum power only while
you are holding the "Pulse" button.
• Ensure the speed selection dial is in the "ON" posi-
tion when using the pulse function.
• Avoid holding the button continuously for more
than 15 seconds at a time.
• This function is specifically for the blender,
chopper and food processor attachments and
should not be used for the juice extractor or
citrus juicer attachment.
Ice Crush Function
• The "ICE" function can be used only when using
the blender attachment.
• This will rotate the blades for a preset time with brief
intervals when the button is pressed.
• This will happen continuously until the button is
pressed again to switch off this function.
• The speed selection dial must be in the "ON" posi-
tion.
• Always remember to press the "ICE" button again
when the ice has reached the desired consistency
in order to disable this function and avoid injury.
• Switch the appliance off both on the appliance
body and at the wall socket before attempting to
remove the jug from the motor body.
• Never use utensils or your hands to loosen the ice
while the jug is still attached to the motor housing.
• Never touch the blades with your hands as they are
very sharp.
Cleaning
• Always unplug the appliance from the power wall
socket before you remove accessories or clean the
motor unit.
• You are able to quickly and easily preclean the food
processor bowl and blender jar with the pulse but-
ton. Simply add some water and washing-up liquid
to the dirty bowl or jar and secure the lid. Then use
the pulse button until the bowl or jar is clean. When
you preclean the food processor bowl in this way,
make sure the food processor blade is assembled
in the bowl.
• Once you have pre-cleaned you may use warm
soapy water to clean all the attachments.
• Always exercise extreme caution when washing
the blades/blade assembly. Never run your hand
or fingers along the blades.
• To clean the appliance body, use a damp cloth to
wipe it and dry thoroughly.
• Never submerge the motor unit and cord in water
or any other liquid, and never place them under
running water.
Recycling
Do not throw the appliance away with normal
household waste at the end of its life. Rather hand it in
at an official collection point for recycling. By
doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
