Operating Instructions

The Zass ZMCH 02 features a simple mechanical control panel. Operation is typically initiated by pressing down on the motor unit.

Chopping (1.2L Glass Bowl):

• Ensure the chopper is assembled as described in the "Setup" section.
• For best results, cut large ingredients into smaller, uniform pieces (approx. 2-3 cm) before placing them in the bowl.
• Press down on the top of the motor unit to activate the chopping action. Use short pulses for coarse chopping, or hold down for finer results.
• Do not operate continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the motor to rest for at least 2 minutes between cycles.
• Once desired consistency is reached, release the motor unit, unplug the appliance, and carefully disassemble to remove ingredients.

Blending (400ml Blender Cup):

• Assemble the blender cup with its blade and attach it to the motor unit.
• Add liquids and soft ingredients. Do not overfill.
• Press down on the motor unit to blend. Use short pulses for controlled blending or hold for continuous blending.
• Ideal for smoothies, sauces, and purees.

Grinding (30g Grinding Cup):

• Assemble the grinding cup with its blade and attach it to the motor unit.
• Add dry ingredients such as coffee beans, nuts, or spices. Do not overfill the 30g capacity.
• Press down on the motor unit to grind. Grind in short bursts until desired fineness is achieved.

Garlic Peeling:

• Place the garlic peeler attachment inside the 1.2L glass chopping bowl.
• Add individual garlic cloves (unpeeled) to the bowl.

• Press down on the motor unit in short pulses. The peeler attachment will tumble the garlic cloves, separating the skin.
