Using your MultiChopper^™

Food Chopper

Wash the processing bowl and blades in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

Using the double blade attachment

1. Place the non-slip pad on a flat level surface and position the processing bowl on top of it. Remove protective cover from blades.
2. Place the lower blade over the shroud in the centre of the processing bowl. See Figure 1.
   

3. Position the upper blade on top of the lower blade. See Figure 2.
   
   NOTE: Whether the upper blade is used will depend on the chopping task.

4. Place the food items to be chopped inside the processing bowl. Large portions should be cut into small pieces before chopping, approximately 3cm cubes.
   NOTE: Do not operate the appliance when the processing bowl is empty.
5. Place the processing bowl cover on top of the processing bowl and rotate clockwise until the two parts are interlocked.

Press the power button gently to process on speed 1.

Press the power button firmly to process on speed 2.

NOTE: If the ingredients stick to the sides of the processing bowl during chopping, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then continue chopping.

Do not hold the power button down to process continuously for more than 30 seconds at any one time with heavy loads. When pulsing, the recommended pulse duration is 2 seconds on and 2 seconds or longer off.

8. When you have finished chopping, turn the power off at the power outlet. Remove the motor housing from the bowl. Remove the processing bowl cover. Carefully remove the blades.

Chopping Guide

The table below provides a guide to maximum quantities and chopping times for a variety of foods. The table is a guide only. Chopping times may vary according to the result you want to achieve.

• All maximum quantities have been tested with the quad blade on speed 2.
• Times, blade and speed may need to be adjusted for less quantities.
• Maximum liquid quantity is ½ cup (125mls).

Care and Cleaning

• Always turn the power off and remove the plug from power outlet after use and before cleaning.
  
  Use caution when handling blades as they are extremely sharp.
• Wipe the motor housing with a damp cloth.
• The centre spindle of the chopping blades may become stained over time, particularly if chopping coloured foods such as carrots. This discolouration is quite normal and will not affect the performance of your chopper. To reduce staining, clean the spindle with a paper towel moistened with vegetable oil.
• Wash the processing bowl and blades in warm soapy water. We do not recommend to place any parts in the dishwasher.
