Spatula E C A B D F 3 4 USING THE MINI-MATE PLUS® CHOPPER/GRINDER 1. 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. Select blunt edge for: · grinding coffee beans, nuts and seeds · grating chocolate · puréeing cooked vegetables and ripe fruit. Hold blade/shaft assembly, with blade end down, directly over post in work bowl. Push blade/shaft assembly down gently over post, twisting hub slightly clockwise. · Hold thumb or index finger over top of blade shaft to prevent small pieces of food from entering it. 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. The power cord, as well as the control buttons, should be at the rear. 7. Insert stainless steel motor shaft into center opening of blade/shaft assembly. Place motor housing directly over work bowl and fit it into work bowl. With other hand, press down firmly on motor housing and press one control button either HI/I for high speed or LO/II for low speed. As motor comes to a stop, you may hear a few clicks from the blade/shaft assembly. Lift motor housing straight up from work bowl after motor has stopped. First, release it from post by twisting hub gently clockwise while exerting slight upward pressure.
