The OXO Good Grips Chopper is designed for efficient and comfortable food preparation. It features a soft knob for rotating blades, an internal soft bumper for shock absorption, and the ability to chop ingredients directly in its enclosed cup or on a cutting board. The clear lid includes measurement markings, and a rotating tab prevents food from sticking to the sides. The entire blade cartridge is removable for easy cleaning, and a spoon is included for convenience.

Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components (chopper body, blade cartridge, clear cup, non-slip base, lid, and spoon) are present.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all removable parts (blade cartridge, clear cup, non-slip base, lid, and spoon) with warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Assemble Chopper: Insert the blade cartridge into the main chopper body. Align the clear cup with the chopper body and twist gently to secure it. The non-slip base should be attached to the bottom of the clear cup.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut larger ingredients (like onions, vegetables, or herbs) into smaller, manageable pieces that fit comfortably within the chopper's cup or under the blades.
2. Place Ingredients: You have two options for chopping:
   • Using the Enclosed Cup: Place the prepared ingredients into the clear measuring cup. Ensure the non-slip base is securely attached.
   • Directly on a Cutting Board: Place the prepared ingredients directly on a sturdy cutting board.
3. Position Chopper: If using the enclosed cup, ensure it is securely attached to the chopper body. If chopping on a cutting board, hold the chopper firmly over the ingredients.
4. Chop: Press down firmly and repeatedly on the soft knob at the top of the chopper. The internal blades will rotate with each press, dicing the ingredients. Continue pressing until desired consistency is achieved. The clear cup's measurement markings allow you to monitor the quantity.

Maintenance & Cleaning

1. Disassembly: To clean, separate the chopper body from the clear cup. The blade cartridge can be removed from the chopper body by pushing down on the top knob and twisting the base.
2. Remove Stuck Food: Use the included spoon or a small brush to carefully remove any food particles stuck to the blades or inside the chopper components.
3. Washing: All parts of the OXO Good Grips Chopper are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash by hand with warm, soapy water. Ensure all sharp edges of the blades are handled with extreme care.
4. Drying & Reassembly: Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling. Reassemble by inserting the blade cartridge into the chopper body, then attaching the clear cup.

Troubleshooting

• Food Not Chopping Evenly: Ensure ingredients are cut into smaller, uniform pieces before placing them in the chopper. Press the knob repeatedly and firmly to allow the rotating blades to cover all areas.
• Food Sticking to Sides: The chopper is designed with a rotating tab to minimize sticking. If food still accumulates, gently tap the chopper on a surface or use the included spoon to dislodge it before continuing to chop.
• Difficulty Disassembling/Reassembling: Refer to the "Maintenance & Cleaning" section for detailed instructions on how to properly separate and reattach components. Ensure the blade cartridge is correctly aligned before twisting to lock.
