PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USE

AND KEEP FOR LATER REFERENCE.

UNPACK YOUR MINI CHOPPER CAREFULLY (CUTTER BLADES ARE SHARP!)

AND REMOVE TEMPORARY PACKING PIECES, LABELS AND STICKERS.

The Mini Chopper should not be run continuously for more than 15 seconds, •
after which there should be a 60-second delay before it is operated again. It is
recommended that you pause and check the chopped food regularly to avoid

over processing. Often, running for 15 seconds is sufcient; it is unlikely that a

total chopping time of more than 60 seconds will be necessary.

How to use

Food to be chopped should be precut into pieces of approximately •
12mm / ½” . To achieve an even chop, these pieces should be similar in size.
See “Preparing foods”.

Place food in the Bowl

•

2

and lock the Lid 1 into position. A maximum of
200ml of food can be processed at one time, as indicated by the tops of the
vertical bars on the side of the Bowl

2

. Larger quantities of food would
require separate batches to be processed. Stabilise the Mini Chopper by
placing one hand on top of the Lid

1

.

Insert the Mains Plug

•

7

into a mains socket and switch on at the socket. The

ON/OFF Button

6

will illuminate to conrm that power is applied.

Even chopping

Press and release the ON/OFF Button •

6

two or three times, allowing the

food pieces to drop to the bottom of the Bowl

2

between bursts.

Using this technique you can get an even chop without over-processing the

•

food - inspect the food by looking through the Bowl 2 as you go.
For a coarse chop, pulse just a few times.

Fine chopping

For ne chopping, or making purées, press and hold the ON/OFF Button •

6

to
run the machine continuously for up to 20 seconds, followed by a 60-second
wait time. Do not operate empty or allow to “labour”.

Continue to repeat this until the required consistency is achieved.

•

If any pieces of food should stick to the inside of the Bowl •

2

and not be

chopped effectively it might be necessary to remove the Lid

1

and scrape

down the sides with a plastic spatula.
An interlock system is incorporated to prevent operation when the Lid

•

1

is removed. Nevertheless, it is good practice to ensure the machine is
disconnected from the mains electricity supply when performing any activity
within the Bowl. PLEASE OBSERVE THIS GOOD PRACTICE. DO NOT PUT
YOUR FINGERS INTO THE BOWL

2

.

Removing processed food

Before removing food from the Bowl •

2

, wait until the Cutting Blades

Assembly

3

has stopped spinning, and remove the lid 1 by turning anti-

clockwise.

DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE BOWL

•

2

AND LID 1 AS ONE UNIT, AS

THIS COULD DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE.
Be sure to remove the Cutting Blades Assembly

•

3

before emptying the Bowl

2

.
Unlock the Bowl

•

2

from the Motor Body 4 by turning anti-clockwise and

lifting straight up. Empty chopped food from the Bowl ; if necessary, use a

plastic spatula.

Before rst use

Remove any labels and/or swingtickets.1.
Follow the instructions for “Cleaning”.2.

How to assemble

Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the electricity supply before

assembly.

Fit the Bowl

3.

2

over the Drive Shaft

5

, rotate until the two lugs in the bowl

base slot into the cutouts in the Motor Body

4

, then lock positively in
position by turning clockwise. (This safety interlock ensures the Mini Chopper
will not work if the bowl is not locked into position correctly).

Locate the Cutting Blades Assembly

4.

3

over the

Drive Shaft

5

and Bowl 2 and turn using the

stem until it positively locates (the assembly drops

so that the lower blade is close to the bowl oor -

approximately 5mm).
Place the Lid

5.

1

on the top of the Bowl 2 so that
the arrow on the lid aligns with the left of the Top
Moulding

7

. Rotate the lid clockwise until the
arrow on the lid aligns with the centre of the top
moulding, so that the vertical lug on the side of the
lid positively engages into the slot in the Motor
Body

4

. (This safety interlock ensures the Mini
Chopper will not work if the bowl is not locked into
position correctly).

The Mini Chopper should be sited on a dry, level and stable surface, away

•

from direct heat. The Mains Lead 8 should be positioned so as not to cause
an obstruction or to overhang the edge of the surface.

Preparing foods

In all cases, food should be cut into pieces of approximately
12mm / ½”, after any special preparation as follows, and processed in amounts
of up to 200ml. If any food is too hard to cut with a knife, do not attempt
to process it in the Mini Chopper as the Cutting Blades Assembly

3

may be

damaged.

Fruit, vegetables

• - peel and core where applicable. Remove fruit stones and

seeds.

Meat, poultry and sh

• - these should be cold but not frozen. Pulse or run

the mini-chopper until the desired consistency is reached. Stop and check
frequently to avoid over-processing.

Bread, crackers, biscuits

• - break into 12mm / ½” pieces and process

continuously until chopped as preferred.

Liquids

• - the Mini Chopper is not suitable for processing liquids or food with a

high liquid content.

Tips

Blades Assembly 3 and the bowl 2 . Disconnect from the electricity supply.
Remove the Lid

1

. Remove the Bowl 2, lift out the Cutting Blades Assembly

3

to free the jam. Empty the food, remount the Bowl

2

onto the Motor Body

4

, t the Cutting Blades Assembly 3, rell with food and re-t the Lid 1.

Reconnect to the electricity supply and continue processing.
The maximum temperature of food that can be processed is 80°C, but it is

•

better to process foods at a lower temperature if possible.

Cleaning

Thoroughly wash the bowl 2, lid 1 and cutting blades assembly 3 before
use with liquid detergent and warm water, rinse and dry. Wipe the motor body

4

with a cloth dampened slightly with liquid detergent and warm water.
