Refer to the Processing Guide C for maximum
quantities, recommended times and speeds.
Before Use
• Pre-cut foods into small pieces for easier
chopping.
• Remove any bones, tendons and gristle from
meat to help prevent damage to the blades.
• Make sure the anti-slip rubber ring (7d/8d/9e) is
attached to the bottom of the chopper bowl.
Assembly and Operation
• Carefully remove the plastic cover from the blade.
• The blades (7b/8b/9b/9c) are very sharp! Always
hold it by the upper plastic part and handle it
carefully.
• Place the blade on the center pin of the chopper
bowl (7c/8c/9d). Press it down and give it a turn
so that it locks into place.
• Fill the chopper with food and put on the lid
(7a/8a/9a).
• For ice crushing, use the special ice blade (9c)
and fill up to 7 ice cubes into the chopper bowl
(9d).
• Align the chopper with the motor part (2) and
click together.
• To operate the chopper, switch on the appliance.
During processing, hold the motor part with one
hand and the chopper bowl with the other.
• Always chop harder foods (e.g. parmesan
cheese) at full speed.
• When chopping is complete, unplug and press
the EasyClick Plus release buttons (3) to detach
the motor part.
• Lift the lid up. Carefully take out the blade before
pouring out the contents of the bowl. To remove
the blade slightly turn it then pull it off.
Caution
• Do not use the chopper accessories (7/8/9) to
process extremely hard foods, such as unshelled
nuts, ice cubes, coffee beans, grains, or hard
spices e.g. nutmeg. Processing these foods
could damage the blades.
• Only the «bc» chopper accessory (9) with the
special ice blade is allowed to crush ice cubes.
• If using the appliance to puree hot food ensure
the liquid is not boiling. Allow hot food to cool
slightly to avoid risk of scalding.
• Never place the chopper bowls in the microwave
oven.
