USING THE MINI-MATE PLUS ® CHOPPER/GRINDER
1. Place work bowl on kitchen counter or other flat, firm surface.
2. Slide hub of blade along blade shaft to select sharp or blunt
blade position. Blade should be at white end of shaft for sharp
edge, at gray end of shaft for blunt edge. Handle carefully.
Never touch blades; always move blade by its shaft.
Select sharp edge for chopping most soft foods. Select blunt
edge for:
• grinding coffee beans, nuts and seeds
• grating chocolate
• puréeing cooked vegetables and ripe fruit.
3. Hold blade/shaft assembly, with blade end down, directly over
post in work bowl.
4. Push blade/shaft assembly down gently over post, twisting
hub slightly clockwise. Assembly will drop into position with
lower blade at bottom of bowl. Assembly must be upright.
It must not tilt.
5. Put food in work bowl.
• Hold thumb or index finger over top of blade shaft to prevent
small pieces of food from entering it.
• Do not overload work bowl. The Mini-Mate Plus ®
Chopper/Grinder is designed for chopping and grinding small
amounts of food. If you want to chop or grind more than 1 or
2 tablespoons, do it in batches.
• Cut large pieces of food into small pieces no bigger than
1/2 inch (12mm) before chopping or grinding.
6. Grip motor housing and place it over work bowl. The power
cord, as well as the control buttons, should be at the rear.
