Care and Cleaning Chef's Chopper® Series Care and Cleaning Instructions 1. Unplug the Food Chopper. 2. Remove the work bowl, lid and blade. Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Work bowl, lid, and blade can also be washed in the top dishwasher rack. 3. Wipe the base clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not immerse the base in water. 4. Reassemble your Food Chopper after cleaning to protect the blade. Chef's Chopper® Series Operating Tips 1. To achieve optimal results, fill the work bowl a maximum of 2⁄3 full for most foods. When chopping raw meat, chop up to 2⁄3 of a pound (300g) at one time. When adding liquid, use a maximum of 3⁄4 cup. Exceeding these quantities could result in damage to the Food Chopper. 2. For best processing results, press and release the PULSE control. Continue until ingredients reach the consistency you want. 3. Use your Food Chopper to make bread, cracker, or cookie crumbs. Break bread, crackers, or cookies into small pieces, add to work bowl and process into crumbs. 4. For uniform consistency of processed foods, cut carrots, celery, mushrooms, green peppers, onions and similar vegetables into 1-inch pieces before adding to work bowl. 5. Use your Food Chopper to chop nuts and mince parsley, basil, chives, garlic and other herbs. 6. Make baby food by using your Food Chopper to purée cooked fruit or vegetables. Puréed, cooked fruits and vegetables can also be used as bases for soups or sauces. 7. Do not use your Food Chopper to process coffee beans or hard spices such as nutmegs. Processing these foods could damage the Food Chopper. WARNING Cut Hazard Handle blades carefully. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 11
