1. Place the container on a suitable, stable, dry, and clean working surface. (see:
›Safeguards for Daily Operation‹).
2. Grasp the shaft of the knife insert and, with the blades facing downward, place
the knife insert in the container.
Note:
Always place the knife insert in the thoroughly cleaned container before filling in
any food. Ensure that the knife insert is correctly positioned on the circle on the
bottom of the container. The circle must be thoroughly clean and there may be no
residues of food on it. Check whether the knife insert is positioned correctly and
can move freely.
3. Prepare your food and fill it in the container.
Do not overfill the container. The food may not exceed the MAX line.
• Cut meat, cheese, onions, and soft frozen food in pieces of about 1 cm.
• Remove uneatable and hard parts of the food: stalks, skins and shells, seeds,
bones, gristle, and tendons.
4. Place the chopping lid on the container.
The shaft of the knife insert must protrude the opening in the centre of the chopping
lid.
5. Grasp the motor by the dark non-slip grips, and place the motor on the chopping
lid, slightly turning the motor until the lower rim of the motor housing rests on the
upper rim of the chopping lid without any gap.
6. Connect the power plug to a suitable wall power outlet.
7. Hold on to the container and press the on/off button to start the motor. The knife
insert starts turning.
Note:
The Mini Chopper works extremely quick; some kinds of food are processed within
one second.
WARNING: With the knife insert mounted in the container, do not
insert your fingers in the container. Always use a wooden or plastic
spoon or similar cooking utensils for filling in and taking out your food.
CAUTION:
Do not use the appliance in continuous operation for more than 1 minute
to avoid overheating. If processing large quantities of food, regularly interrupt ope-
ration and unplug the appliance for at least 3 minutes, to let the motor cool down.
If the motor sticks or can not reach its normal speed, then release the on/off button,
