• We recommend using one hand
to hold the unit during operation.
• Never use the mini chopper
continuously for more than 1
minute at a time. After 1
minute, unplug and let the unit
rest for 5 minutes
• The bowl is made of a high
quality Lexan. However it may
become scratched when you use
it for grinding dry fruits, beans, or
some herbs. These scratches will
not affect the performance or the
hygiene of the bowl
• Before chopping nuts, herbs or
breadcrumbs , ensure that the
bowl, lid and blade are dry
• When processing food for babies
or young children, always check
the ingredients are thoroughly
blended before feeding
• Secure the lid before attaching
the bowl to the base
• Put the blade in first, before the
food. Remove the blade before
emptying out the food
• Do not over fill the bowl. Two
thirds full is the reccomended
maximum for soft and juicy
ingredients. For dry ingredients,
such as onion or breadcrumbs,
half full is recommended
• Always switch off the machine
and remove the bowl before
taking off the lid
• Allow hot ingredients to cool
slightly before putting in the mini
chopper bowl
• If the mix sticks to the sides of the
bowl, stop the chopper from time
to time, and scrape down the
sides with a rubber spatula
• When drizzling oil in through the
holes in the lid, do it slowly to
prevent oil escaping down the
sides of the bowl, which will
make it slippery

chopper bowl, lid and blades
immediately after each use with
warm soapy water. Rinse
all parts and dry.

• Wipe the main unit with a damp
cloth. Dry it immediately. Never
immerse the main unit in water
or other liquids
• Some foods may discolour the
plastic. This is normal and will not
harm the plastic or affect the
flavour of your food.
• Rub with a cloth dipped in
vegetable oil to remove
discolouration on bowl
If treated with care, your mini
chopper will last for years and years.
