SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power cord or extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appliance is listed on the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord. This appliance has a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other. As a safety feature this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. A B C D E KNOW YOUR MINI FOOD PROCESSOR AND CHOPPER A) Power Unit B) Splash Guard C) Blade Assembly D) Glass Bowl E) Non-Slip Mat F) Sealed Lid (not shown) BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE Carefully unpack your mini food processor and chopper and remove all packaging material. Use caution when removing the blade covers from the blade assembly. These covers should be discarded as they are to protect the blade assembly during manufacture and shipping. Remove any labels or stickers from the unit. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, clean the mini food processor and chopper and its included attachments thoroughly before using for the first time. (See “Cleaning Your Mini Food Processor and Chopper” section of this manual for detailed instructions). OPERATING YOUR MINI FOOD PROCESSOR AND CHOPPER 1) Place the non-slip mat (E) onto the work surface with the ribbed side down. 2) Position the glass bowl (D) onto the middle of the non-slip mat. 3) Fit the blade assembly (C) over the pin in the glass bowl. Blades are sharp so use caution during assembly. 4) Add your food (see the “Processing Guide” section of your instruction manual). Cut large pieces of food into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces. 5) Note: For chopping hard foods such as ice cubes, coffee beans and chocolate, use a pulsing action. 6) Fit the splash guard (B) onto the glass bowl. Make sure the slots in the splash guard fit over the handles in the rim of the glass bowl. The unit will not operate if the splash guard is improperly positioned. 7) Fit the power unit (A) into the hole at the top of splash guard. The power unit will only fit correctly in two positions. 8) Plug the unit into a 120V/60Hz AC only outlet. 9) With your hand, press down on the top of the power unit to begin operation. Press down for short lengths of time to produce a pulsing action. This will avoid over-processing the ingredients. 10) If the machine labors, remove some of the mixture. Continue processing in separate batches to avoid straining the motor. 11) To terminate operation, remove your hand from the top of the unit or discontinue pressure. 12) Do not run the mini food processor and chopper continuously for longer than 30 seconds. Leave the unit to cool for 1 minute in between each 30-second operation. 13) After use, unplug unit and carefully dismantle detachable parts. 14) Note: The included glass bowl (D) can be used in a microwave oven for reheating purposes. A sealed lid (F) is also included for storage purposes. Once choppin...
