Chopper: For Best Results
• Freeze meats or sh partially before processing to ensure chopped (not pulverized) results.
• To avoid damage to the chop/grind “S” blade, do not chop or grind hard items such as frozen foods, ice,
nutmeg, hard spices, rice, chocolate bars or coffee beans.
• To avoid over-processing, release the speed button and check food consistency periodically.
• Although the chopper bowl’s non-slip feet will stabilize bowl during chopping, it is recommended that
while chopping, hold the motor body handle in one hand, and brace the chopping bowl with the other.
• NEVER process boiling liquids or very hot foods in the chopper bowl.
• Cut food in uniform sizes to ensure faster, evenly textured results.
Do not operate the chopper attachment continuously for more than 1 minute. Allow the motor to rest for 1
minute between each use.
