POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the
countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the
countertop or tabletop.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
CAUTION: Use extreme care when handling the Blade.
Always insert or remove Blade by using the Hub. Do not
touch the Blades with your fingers. The Blades are very
sharp and can cause injury if touched.
Carefully unpack the Mini Food Chopper and remove all packaging
materials. Handle the Knife Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc
carefully; they are very sharp. Set the Base on a clean, dry countertop
p a t u l e p o u
or table.
i l l e u n i f o r m
Wash all parts except the Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
n u , c o u p e
thoroughly. The Base may be wiped with a damp cloth. DO NOT
IMMERSE BASE IN WATER.

t s é c h e r t r HELPFULHINTS
o n t e n a n t d
• Fresh, crisp and firm fruits and vegetables process best.

é r e n t s t y p e
• Fruits and vegetables should be processed at refrigerator
temperature.

e s p a r t i e s
• Wash and remove inedible parts of food before processing.
• Process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients second when
l é g u m e s d
using several different foods in a recipe or making several
different recipes at the same time; this reduces the number of
times the Container must be washed and dried.
u i t s e t d e s
• When slicing and shredding, cut longer and larger foods to fit the
S E I L S P
length and width of the Food Chute.
• When chopping, cut pieces in uniform size pieces. Large pieces
tend to chop unevenly.

The Locking Tabs on the Food Chute/Cover are
part of an Interlock System that assures the unit
will not operate unless the Cover is properly in
place (see “Interlock Mechanism”).
3.
3. Interlock Mechanism: The Interlock Mechanism
is located at the top of the Base and allows the
Tab located on each Cover to slide into it and lock
into place. This insures proper operation and
secure assembly, as the appliance will only
operate if the Cover is positioned correctly in the
Interlock Mechanism.

4. Slicing/Shredding Disc: (P/N 70798) This dual
function Disc allows you to slice food on one side,
then flip it over and use the other side for
shredding. Finger Grips provide safe and easy
handling of the Disc.
5. Disc Post: (P/N 70870) The Disc Post holds the
Slicing/Shredding Disc.
6. Knife Blade: (P/N 70797) The Knife Blade is
used for chopping, mincing and mixing
ingredients.
7. Container: (P/N 70795) This 2-cup Container
