Control Switches

To start operation, simply press one of the two switches and hold down for
the desired length of time.
Use the 'Chop' speed switch for chopping, puréeing and mixing food with
the sharp edge of the blade.
Use the 'Grind' speed switch for grinding and for chopping hard food with
the blunt edge of the blade.
A 'pulse' action is best when you are using the sharp edge of the blade.
Two or three pulses are often enough. Ensure you check the food frequently
to prevent over processing. Over processing will result in a watery paste
instead of a fine chop.
N.B. Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, we recommend
using one hand to support the appliance during operation.
N.B. During processing, it remains possible to reverse the direction of
the blade, by pressing the opposite switch after stopping pressing one.
In this case, it is normal that motor will start after a few seconds delay,
due to the electronic brake control at each direction change.
Continuous hold action is best when you are using the grind function.
When you operate the unit for more than 10 seconds, use a pulse action
every 10 seconds or so to allow food to drop to the bottom of the work
bowl. This provides more consistent results.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the Cordless Mini Prep Pro continuously
for longer than 20 seconds at a time
