Setup

Before first use, wash all components with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

1. Place the chopping blade assembly onto the central pin inside the container. Ensure it sits securely.
2. Add your desired ingredients into the container. Do not overfill.
3. Place the lid onto the container, aligning the tabs on the lid with the grooves on the container. Twist the lid clockwise until it locks securely in place.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your Tupperware Smart Chopper:

1. Ensure the chopper is assembled correctly with ingredients inside and the lid securely locked.
2. Place the chopper on a stable, flat surface.
3. Hold the chopper firmly with one hand.
4. With your other hand, pull the cord horizontally away from the chopper in short, quick bursts.
5. The more times you pull the cord, the finer your ingredients will be chopped. For coarse chops, pull a few times. For finer chops or purees, continue pulling until desired consistency is reached.
6. After chopping, carefully unlock and remove the lid. Remove the blade assembly before emptying the chopped ingredients.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Smart Chopper. The manufacturer recommends hand washing.

1. Disassemble all parts: remove the lid, then carefully lift out the blade assembly.
2. Wash the container and blade assembly with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a brush if necessary to remove any food particles from the blades.
3. Wipe the lid with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the lid in water, as this may damage the pull-cord mechanism.
4. Rinse all washable parts thoroughly.
5. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

Caution: The blades are very sharp. Handle with extreme care during cleaning to prevent injury.

Troubleshooting

• Chopper not operating smoothly: Ensure the lid is securely locked onto the container. Check that the blade assembly is correctly seated on the central pin. Avoid overfilling the container with ingredients.
• Ingredients not chopping evenly: Ensure ingredients are cut into manageable pieces before placing them in the chopper. Pull the cord in consistent, short bursts.
• Cord not retracting: Check for any obstructions around the cord mechanism on the lid. Ensure the cord is not tangled.
