Frequently Asked Questions - MC 4 TEAM

How to assemble the mini-chopper?

Place the rubber ring on a stable surface, insert the bowl into the ring, then the blade into the bottom of the bowl. Add ingredients, position the lid aligning the tabs, then place the unplugged motor unit on the bowl. An incorrect assembly prevents starting.
