Instructions for Use
Before First Use
Wash all of the attachments in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Wipe the glass chopper main unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to dry
thoroughly.
NOTE: When using the glass chopper for the first time, a slight odor may
be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient
ventilation around the glass chopper. The glass chopper is designed to process
small amounts of dry food at one time. Larger amounts should be processed in
several smaller batches to avoid overfilling the glass bowl.
Using the Glass Chopper
The twin chopping blade must be securely fitted before use; do not attempt to
remove it until the blades have stopped moving.
WARNING: Maximum operation time is 30 seconds. Allow cooling for 1 1/2
minutes before using the appliance again.
STEP 1: Position the non-slip ring on a flat, stable surface at a height
that is comfortable for the user.
STEP 2: Place the glass bowl onto the non-slip ring. Make sure the glass
bowl is centered and the edges of the non-slip ring are not bent.
STEP 3: Carefully insert the twin chopping blade into the glass bowl,
guided by the stainless steel pin. Rotate until it is positioned correctly.
STEP 4: Place the food that is to be chopped into the glass bowl. Do not
exceed the max. fill mark on the glass bowl.
STEP 5: Place the plastic lid onto the glass bowl and secure it into
place. For safety reasons, the glass chopper will not operate if the glass
bowl and plastic lid are not securely locked into place.
STEP 6: Place the glass chopper main unit onto the plastic lid and secure
it by aligning the tabs on the twin chopping blade with the slots on the glass
chopper main unit. Twist in a clockwise direction until it drops into
position.
STEP 7: Plug in and switch on the glass chopper at the main power supply.
STEP 8 : To turn on the glass chopper, gently press and turn the glass
chopper main unit in an anticlockwise direction. To increase the speed, press
and hold the turbo button. STEP 9: Any extra food may be added to the
chopped ingredients at this point by removing the chopping bowl lid, adding
the ingredient(s), replacing the chopping bowl lid, and repeating the chopping
process.
STEP 10: To detach the glass bowl, unplug and remove the glass chopper
main unit and plastic lid. Carefully remove the twin chopping blade without
touching the blades themselves.
NOTE: For optimum performance, solid food should be cut into smaller
pieces before chopping. Avoid including any fruit stones, bones, etc.
CAUTION: Switch off and unplug the glass chopper from the main power
supply before attempting to remove any food from the chopping bowl and before
cleaning. WARNING: Do not use the chopping bowl if it is cracked or
broken. Do not operate the chopper when the chopping bowl is empty, as this
will cause damage to the appliance.
