Note:

• For non-rewireable plugs the fuse cover MUST be refitted when replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover is lost then the plug must not be used until a replacement can be obtained. The correct fuse cover is identified by colour and a replacement may be obtained from your Kenwood Authorised Repairer (see Service).

To Use Your Mini Chopper

Anti-slip ring

• Before use, fit the Anti-slip ring to stop the bowl sliding on the worktop.

Refer to Illustrations

• Your Mini Chopper will not operate unless the bowl and lid are correctly interlocked.
• To avoid overloading the chopper and for best results, do not fill the bowl above the 500ml maximum level.

• If preparing food for babies or young children, always check that the ingredients are thoroughly processed before feeding.

Hints

• If the chopper labours, remove some of the mixture and continue processing in several batches, otherwise you may strain the motor.
• Chopping hard foods such as coffee beans, spices, chocolate or ice will wear the knife blades faster.
• Beware of over processing some ingredients. Stop and check the consistency frequently.
• Some spices such as cloves, and cumin seeds can have an adverse effect on the plastic of your food chopper.
• To ensure even processing, stop and scrape down the bowl.
• The best results are obtained by cutting food into small pieces and chopping small quantities at a time.
• Herbs will chop better when clean and dry.
• For breadcrumbs, the best results are achieved with stale bread.
