Operating Instructions

How to Assemble the Food Chopper+

1. Place the base on a flat work surface near an outlet.
2. Place the work bowl on the base with the handle positioned over the PULSE button. Turn the bowl to the right until secured in place. When properly assembled, the handle will face the front, positioned between the two control buttons on the base.
3. Lower the blade onto the shaft. WARNING: The chopper blade is sharp; handle with care when assembling and cleaning. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
4. When ready to chop, place the lid on top of the work bowl, aligning it with the handle of the work bowl. The chopper will not run unless its parts are properly assembled.

How to Disassemble the Food Chopper+

1. To remove the lid, slide the handle to the left, then lift it off.
2. To remove the blade, turn it counterclockwise, then carefully lift it out of the work bowl. WARNING: The chopper blade is sharp; handle with care.
3. To remove the work bowl, hold the base steady with one hand and use the other to rotate the work bowl left, then lift it off the base.

How to Use the Food Chopper+

The Food Chopper+ is simple and intuitive to use, perfectly sized for common cooking tasks like chopping onions and pureeing sauces, soups, and cooked fruits and vegetables.

1. Set the chopper on a flat work surface near an outlet; do not plug in yet.
2. Attach the work bowl to the base so that its handle is aligned between the two control buttons, then lower the blade onto the shaft until locked in place.
3. Add ingredients to be processed to the work bowl.
4. Secure the lid on the work bowl so that the lid's handle aligns with the handle of the work bowl.
5. Plug unit in. The capacitive control buttons (PULSE and START/STOP) will light up.
6. For continuous processing (e.g., pureeing soups and sauces), press the START/STOP button. The chopper will chop until the START/STOP button is pressed again. WARNING: To avoid overheating the motor, do not use the blender for more than 3 minutes continuously. Allow the motor to cool between uses.
7. For short bursts of chopping, press and release the PULSE button. The chopper will process for as long as the PULSE button is held down. Wait for the blade to stop spinning before pressing PULSE again.
8. If adding liquid (such as oil) while processing, slowly and carefully pour the liquid into the drizzle opening on top of the lid.
9. When ingredients are processed to your liking, press START/STOP if necessary.
10. Unplug the chopper before removing the lid, work bowl, or blade. WARNING: Never use fingers to scrape food away from the cutting blade. Serious injury may result.

For Best Results:

• Cut ingredients into uniform pieces of 1-inch or less.
• Fill the work bowl no more than two-thirds full. Overfilling can strain the motor, cause inconsistent results, or spillage (especially with hot contents).
• Do not process hard ingredients like coffee beans, thick squares of chocolate, or hard spices, as they can damage the unit.
• If including liquid, do not fill past the 'Max' line indicated on the blade unit.

Chopping and Processing Tips

• Always insert the blade before adding any ingredients to the work bowl.
• Let hot foods cool down before processing.
• For the smoothest soup, strain solid ingredients and process them without the liquid, then add the liquid and process to combine.
• For the best texture when grinding meat or cheese, freeze the ingredient briefly to get it cold but not frozen solid.
• To make breadcrumbs, break bread into pieces and pulse to desired texture.
• To crumb cookies for a crust, break them into pieces then process until finely ground.
• When making mayonnaise or other emulsified sauces, add oil very slowly through the drizzle opening while pulsing or processing.
• Use your Food Chopper+ to combine batters and even to whip cream.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Food Chopper+ must be cleaned after every use.

1. Unplug the unit before disassembling and cleaning.
2. The work bowl, lid, and blade are all top-rack dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash by hand with hot soapy water, then rinse well and dry. WARNING: Handle the blade with care as it is extremely sharp. Use caution when attaching, detaching, cleaning, or storing.
3. Clean the base by wiping it with a damp cloth. The base is not dishwasher safe. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the base or other parts, as it could damage the finish.
4. Store in a cool, dry place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce hazards of entanglement or tripping. Longer cords are available and may be used if care is exercised. If a longer cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Power Cord Safety Tips

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please contact Chefman Customer Support for assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION: Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface.
