unit and bowl are held into place correctly. Do no attempt to operate this unit without the motor unit aligned into
place.
Press and hold the pulse button. The unit will begin to chop your ingredients. The longer the chopping time, the
finer the texture of your ingredients will be. To stop chopping release the pulse button.
The maximum running time for each cycle should not exceed 1 minute as this could cause the motor to over
heat. Allow the unit to cool down between each cycle.
Keep a firm grip on the bowl when the unit is chopping to ensure it does not slip.

Chopping Guide
Ensure the blade and bowl are thoroughly dry before use.
Chop ingredients into smaller pieces even before chopping.
Chop small quantities at a time. Do not over fill the bowl.
Food must be cooked before pureeing.
Check consistency at regular intervals.
To ensure even results you may need to scrap from around the side of the bowl using a spoon. Do no use your
fingers. Always switch off and unplug the mini chopper before scraping the bowl.
Hard or rough ingredients can dull the interior of the chopping bowl over time. This will not affect the choppers
performance.
Carrots etc. can discolour the plastic parts. We recommend cleaning these parts immediately after use to
prevent this.
