4. Setup and Assembly

1. Ensure the hand blender motor unit is unplugged.
2. Place the chopping blade onto the central pin inside the chopper bowl. Gently push down until it sits securely.
3. Add your desired ingredients to the chopper bowl. Do not overfill; ensure the lid can close properly.
4. Place the lid onto the chopper bowl, aligning the tabs and twisting clockwise until it locks securely into place.
5. Attach your Braun MultiQuick hand blender motor unit to the connection point on top of the chopper lid. Push it down firmly until you hear an audible 'click', indicating it is locked with the EasyClick system.

5. Operating Instructions

1. With the chopper fully assembled and ingredients inside, plug the hand blender motor unit into a power outlet.
2. Press and hold the Smart Speed button on your hand blender motor unit. The longer and harder you press the button, the higher the speed and the finer the chopping result will be.
3. For coarse chopping, use short, quick pulses. For finer chopping or pureeing, hold the button down for a longer duration.
4. Monitor the consistency of your ingredients through the transparent bowl.
5. Release the Smart Speed button to stop operation.
6. Do not operate the chopper continuously for more than 1 minute. If longer processing is required, allow the appliance to cool down for a few minutes before resuming.
7. Once chopping is complete, unplug the hand blender motor unit from the power outlet.
8. Press the EasyClick release buttons on the side of the motor unit to detach it from the chopper lid.
9. Carefully remove the lid, then carefully remove the chopping blade by holding its plastic top.
10. Empty the chopped ingredients from the bowl.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your chopper attachment.

• Always unplug the hand blender motor unit before cleaning.
• Detach the motor unit from the chopper lid. The motor unit should never be immersed in water or washed in a dishwasher. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
• The chopper bowl, chopping blade, and lid (with integrated gear box) are all dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Alternatively, these parts can be washed by hand in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
• Handle the chopping blade with extreme care during cleaning due to its sharpness.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the parts in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.

7. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not starting:
  Ensure the hand blender motor unit is securely attached to the chopper lid and that the lid is properly locked onto the bowl. Verify that the motor unit is plugged into a functional power outlet.
• Ingredients not chopping evenly:
  Do not overfill the chopper bowl. Process ingredients in smaller batches if necessary. Use a pulsing action rather than continuous operation for better control over consistency. Ensure ingredients are cut into manageable pieces before placing them in the chopper.
• Motor unit overheating:
  If the motor unit feels hot or stops working, immediately release the Smart Speed button and unplug the unit. Allow it to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods (exceeding 1 minute).
• Loud noise or unusual vibration:
  Check that the chopping blade is correctly seated on the central pin and that the lid is securely locked. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the bowl.
