hints

●

IMPORTANT - If preparing food

for babies or young children,

always check that the ingredients

are thoroughly blended before

feeding.

●

When mixing liquid

ingredients fill the bowl no

more than

⁄2 full.

●

When processing heavy

ingredients, avoid running the

motor continuously for periods

over 10 seconds without resting.

●

Beware of overprocessing some ingredients. Stop and check the consistency frequently.

●

Various spices such as Cloves, Dill and Cummin seeds can have an adverse effect on the plastic of your mini chopper and should not be processed.

●

To ensure even processing, stop and scrape down any food from the side of the bowl with a plastic spatula.

●

The best results are obtained by chopping small quantities at one time.

●

Cut foods into small pieces. A large load or large pieces may cause uneven results.

●

Before chopping nuts, breadcrumbs etc., ensure that both the food and the blade, bowl and lid are thoroughly dry.
