3. Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts of the chopper attachment from its packaging. Ensure all components (chopper bowl, blade, lid) are present and undamaged.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the chopper bowl, blade, and lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. The main food processor unit should be unplugged and clean.
3. Assemble Blade: Place the chopping blade onto the central spindle inside the chopper bowl. Ensure it sits securely. Caution: The blade is very sharp. Handle with extreme care.
4. Add Ingredients: Place your desired ingredients into the chopper bowl. Do not overfill; refer to your main food processor manual for capacity guidelines.
5. Secure Lid: Place the lid onto the chopper bowl, aligning any tabs or locking mechanisms. Twist or press down until the lid is securely locked in place.
6. Attach to Base: Carefully place the assembled chopper attachment onto the motor unit of your compatible Moulinex or TEFAL food processor. Ensure it is correctly seated and locked into position according to your food processor's specific instructions.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Plug in your food processor and ensure it is switched on.
2. Select Speed: Choose the appropriate speed setting on your food processor for chopping. For most spices and small ingredients, a pulse function or medium speed is recommended to achieve desired consistency without over-processing.
3. Process Ingredients: Activate the food processor. Use short pulses for coarse chopping or continuous operation for finer results. Monitor the consistency through the transparent lid.
4. Stop and Check: Once the desired consistency is reached, switch off and unplug the food processor.
5. Remove Attachment: Unlock and remove the chopper attachment from the motor base.
6. Carefully Remove Blade: Before emptying the contents, carefully remove the chopping blade by holding it by its central plastic hub. Always handle the blade with extreme caution.
7. Empty Contents: Pour or scrape the chopped ingredients from the bowl.

Note: Always refer to your main food processor's instruction manual for specific safety warnings and operational guidelines.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will extend the life of your chopper attachment.

• Immediate Cleaning: Clean the chopper bowl, blade, and lid immediately after each use to prevent food residue from drying and becoming difficult to remove.
• Washing: Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. A soft brush may be used to clean around the blade, but always exercise extreme caution. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
• Dishwasher Safety: Check your main food processor manual or the attachment itself for dishwasher compatibility. If dishwasher safe, place parts on the top rack.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent odors or bacterial growth.
• Storage: Store the chopper attachment in a clean, dry place, preferably assembled or with the blade safely stored to prevent accidental injury.
• Motor Unit: Never immerse the motor unit of your food processor in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chopper attachment, consider the following common solutions:

• Attachment Not Operating:
  • Ensure the attachment is correctly assembled and securely locked onto the food processor base.
  • Verify that the food processor's lid is properly closed and locked.
  • Check if the food processor is plugged in and switched on.
• Poor Chopping Performance:
  • Do not overfill the bowl. Process ingredients in smaller batches if necessary.
  • Ensure the blade is correctly installed on the spindle.
  • Ingredients may be too large; cut them into smaller pieces before processing.
  • For very hard ingredients, ensure your food processor has sufficient power and use the pulse function.
• Loud Noise/Vibration:
  • Check that the attachment is properly seated and locked onto the motor unit.
  • Ensure the lid is securely fastened.
  • Reduce the amount of ingredients if the bowl is overfilled.

If problems persist, consult your main food processor's manual or contact Moulinex/TEFAL customer support.
