- Container: Ensure the container is on a stable, flat surface and support it with your free hand.
- Immersion: Do not immerse the wand past the top of the parallel-sided tube.
- Hot Liquids: When blending hot liquids, avoid breaking the surface at an angle to prevent spraying.

- Lid and Motor Unit: Fit the bowl lid (the top of the chopper fits into the drive in the underside of the lid). Fit the motor unit to the top of the bowl lid.
- Operation: Use the chopper in short bursts of a few seconds to avoid over-processing.
- Disassembly: Unplug the motor unit, then remove it from the lid. Lift the lid gently, allowing any drips to fall into the bowl. Lift out the chopping blade.
