•
Always cut, tear or break food into 1-inch or smaller pieces to obtain uniform
chopping results.
•
Never overload chopper with food. Food should be placed loosely in chopper
and never packed down.
•
If chopping more than 1 food consecutively, begin with dry food if possible to
eliminate cleaning of the bowl and blade between uses.
•
Do not chop hard foods that cannot be easily cut with a normal kitchen knife or
foods that contain pits, stones, bones or hard shells, as damage to the chopper
will occur. Foods not recommended for chopping include dried fruits, ice, hard
sausage, coffee beans, whole spices, cheese other than Parmesan and
Romano, whole wheat, corn or rye kernels for making flour.
•
Liquid ingredients should not be mixed in chopper, as leakage will occur.
•
The sides of chopping bowl may become cloudy in appearance after frequent
use, which is normal.
•
If chopper does not turn on when LO or HI button is depressed, the cover is not
completely engaged in slot. Turn cover clockwise to fully engage tab in slot for
operation.
