General safety instructions

Risk of electric shock!



If the power cable (4) of this appliance is damaged, it

must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer

service or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid

any possible danger.



Never open the housing of the Mini Chopper. This does

not contain any replaceable parts. Opening the housing

can expose you to the risk of electric shock.



If you notice any smoke, unusual noises or strange

smells, switch off the appliance immediately and remove

the plug from the mains socket. If this occurs, do not

continue to use the appliance and have it checked out by

an expert. Never inhale smoke from a possible

appliance fire. If you do inadvertently inhale smoke, seek

SilverCrest SMZG500 A1

8 - English

medical attention. Smoke inhalation can be damaging to

your health.



Make sure that the power cable (4) cannot be damaged

by sharp edges or hot spots.



Make sure that the power cable (4) cannot get crushed

or squashed.



The appliance must always be disconnected from the

mains when left unsupervised and before assembly,

disassembly or cleaning.



When disconnecting the power cable (4) from the mains

socket, always pull on the mains plug and never on the

power cable (4) itself.



If you notice visible damage to the Mini Chopper or the

power cable (4), switch off the device, remove the mains

plug from the mains socket, and contact customer service

(see "Warranty information" on page 17).



Only connect the Mini Chopper to a properly installed,

easily accessible mains socket with the same mains

voltage as detailed on the name plate. After connecting

the appliance, the mains socket must still be easily

accessible so that you can remove the mains plug quickly

in the event of an emergency.



Never immerse the motor unit (2), the power cable (4) or

the mains plug in water or other liquids. If liquid does

penetrate the motor unit (2), disconnect the mains plug

SilverCrest SMZG500 A1

English - 9

from the mains socket immediately and contact customer

service (see "Warranty information" on page 17).



Never operate the Mini Chopper with wet hands.

Warning about property damage



Do not leave the Mini Chopper unattended while running

so you can react quickly in the case of hazards.



If the cutting blades (5) or the emulsifying disc (6) only

turn slowly or not at all, switch the Mini Chopper off

immediately, disconnect the power cable (4) from the

mains socket and check whether the cutting blades (5) or

the emulsifying disc (6) are blocked or the food is too

tough. Also check that you have assembled the Mini

Chopper correctly.



Please note the maximum fill level of 500 ml - see the fill

level indicator (10).



The Mini Chopper has a plastic non-slip ring (9). If

necessary, place something underneath the device, as

work-surfaces are sometimes treated with detergents

which could attack or even dissolve the plastic non-slip

ring (9).

(7) filled and never empty.

SilverCrest SMZG500 A1

10 - English

the bowl (7) could crack. Always allow hot or boiling

foods to cool down first before adding them to the glass

bowl (7) and processing them with the Mini Chopper.

Risk of injury



Before changing accessories or fittings which move when

the unit is running, switch it off and disconnect it from the

mains socket.



Never open the lid (3) or remove the motor unit (2) while

 For herbs, remove the stalks.

 Cut solid food (e.g. meat, fish, vegetables) into chunks of around 2 to 3 cm square.

 Remove the outer shell of nuts.

3. Place the glass bowl (7) on the plastic non-slip ring (9). Make sure that it is centred on the plastic

non-slip ring (9) and the edges of the plastic non-slip ring (9) are not bent.

If you wish to chop or mix food, insert the cutting blades (5). Use the emulsifying disc (6) to

prepare whipped cream.

the stainless steel guide pin (8).

5. Prepare the food (see previous section).

6. Fill the glass bowl (7) with the food to be processed. Note the recommendations (see page 13) and

never overfill the glass bowl (7) beyond the maximum 500 ml level - see fill level indicator (10).

down with a scraper, for example, and continue chopping.

Removing the chopped food / whipped cream

1. Unplug the mains plug (4) from the mains socket.

2. Remove the motor unit (2) and the lid (3).

3. Remove the cutting blades (5) or the emulsifying disc (6) from the glass bowl (7).

Risk of injury

The cutting blades (5) are extremely sharp. Be very careful when handling the cutting

blades (5).

4. Remove the food. You can use a scraper, for example.

5. Clean the lid (3), cutting blades (5), emulsifying disc (6) and glass bowl (7). For more on this, please

refer to the "Maintenance / cleaning" section on page 14.

After use

After use, clean the Mini Chopper as described in the "Maintenance / cleaning" section below. Then store

the Mini Chopper in a safe place away from dust.

Maintenance / cleaning

It is recommended that you clean the Mini Chopper before first use and immediately after each use so

that no remnants of food can set in the glass bowl (7) and on the cutting blades (5) or the emulsifying

disc (6).

SilverCrest SMZG500 A1

English - 15

Risk of electric shock!



Always remove the mains plug from the socket before cleaning. Failure to do so could

cause an electric shock.



Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the motor unit (2) and do not immerse it in water

or other liquids. This could cause short circuits which could cause electric shocks or burns.

Warning about property damage

Do not use abrasive or astringent detergents or tools which could scratch the surface of the

motor unit (2). This could cause damage to the motor unit (2) housing.

Clean the motor unit (2), the plastic non-slip ring (9) and the power cable (4) with a dry or damp cloth.

You can wash up the lid (3), the glass bowl (7), the cutting blades (5) and the emulsifying disc (6)

normally or put them in the dishwasher.

Risk of injury

The cutting blades (5) are extremely sharp. Be very careful when washing and handling the

cutting blades (5).

Storing the Mini Chopper

Store the Mini Chopper in a safe place away from dust. It is best to keep it assembled and leave the

cutting blades (5) and emulsifying disc (6) in the glass bowl (7). This keeps all the individual parts to hand

so they do not get lost and keeps the cutting blade (5) safely stored away so that nobody can

accidentally cut themselves.
