to use your food
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.

then turn clockwise to lock into

.
2 Fit the blade assembly into the bowl.
Always fit the bowl and blade

assembly onto the food chopper
before adding ingredients.

pieces and place in the bowl. Larger
pieces of food should be cut into
approximately 1 to 2 cm pieces.

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
30 seconds. Leave to cool for
2 minutes in between each
30 second operation.
Do not operate the food chopper if
●
the bowl is empty.
Always allow hot food to cool before
●
processing.
Do not exceed the maximum
●
capacities stated or fill above the
400ml level marked on the bowl.
Do not place any part of the
●
chopper in the microwave.
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 the plastic spatula
supplied.
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.
