IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

  3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

  8. Do not use the appliance outdoors.
  9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
  10. Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to a person, or damage to the Cordless Food Chopper. A scraper may be used, but only when the Cordless Food Chopper is not running.
  11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
  12. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a cutting blade on the Base without first putting the bowl properly in place.
  13. Be certain the cover is securely locked in place before operating the Cordless Food Chopper.
  14. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
  15. Do not use an extension cord. Plug the charger directly into an electric outlet.

Plug the charger adapter into a grounded electrical outlet.
The battery status indicator pulses when it charges. It will be fully charged in 2 hours and the Battery status indicator turns solid green.

PRODUCT USAGE

IMPORTANT: Make sure the Cordless Food Chopper is charged before using.

Make sure that the Speed controller is at “O” position before attaching or removing any parts.
Hold the Handle facing front on the Base. Twist and lock the Bowl in the slots of the Base.
Rotate and lower the Drive adapter and then Multipurpose blade or optional Whisking accessory in the center of the Bowl until it rests at the bottom.
Add ingredients to the Bowl.
Place the Lid on the Bowl. Twist and lock it into place. The Lid will click when properly locked into place.
NOTE: The Cordless Food Chopper will operate with either the Multipurpose blade or the Whisking accessory in place, not both. Do not try to use both at the same time.
Slide the Speed controller to your desired setting (1 or 2).
Press down the Pulse/On button to start.
For a coarse chop, use a pulsing motion to rapidly press and release the Pulse/On button until your desired results are achieved.
IMPORTANT: The Bowl and Lid must be locked into place for the Cordless Food Chopper to operate.
Use the Drizzle basin to conveniently add liquid ingredients while processing dressings, mayonnaise, sauces, and more. Use the Pour spout for easier serving.
Slowly pour liquids, such as oil, in the Drizzle basin. The liquid will be efficiently and thoroughly mixed into the ingredients as they spin inside the Bowl.
Once processing is complete, remove the Lid, Drive adapter, and Multipurpose blade to use the Pour spout.
