Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all components with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.

1. Place the Blade Assembly: Carefully place the sharp stainless steel blade assembly onto the central pin inside the transparent container. Ensure it sits securely.
2. Add Ingredients: Place your desired ingredients into the container around the blade assembly. For best results, cut larger ingredients into smaller, manageable pieces (approximately 1-2 inches) before placing them in the chopper. Do not overfill the container.
3. Secure the Lid: Align the lid with the container and twist it clockwise until it locks securely into place. The pull-cord mechanism should be facing outwards.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled with ingredients, follow these steps to operate your Smart Chopper:

1. Stabilize the Chopper: Place the assembled chopper on a flat, stable surface. Hold the top of the lid firmly with one hand.
2. Pull the Cord: With your other hand, grasp the pull-cord handle. Pull the cord horizontally in short, quick motions. Each pull will rotate the blades, chopping the ingredients.
3. Control Chop Size: The number of pulls determines the fineness of the chop. A few pulls will result in a coarse chop, while more pulls will create a finer mince. Periodically check the consistency of the ingredients by removing the lid.
4. Emptying: Once the desired consistency is achieved, carefully remove the lid and then the blade assembly. Transfer the chopped ingredients from the container.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your Smart Chopper.

• Hand Wash Only: All components of the Tupperware Smart Chopper are recommended for hand washing. Use warm water and a mild dish soap.
• Blade Care: Exercise extreme caution when handling the sharp blades. Use a brush to clean any food residue from the blades.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembling or storing to prevent rust on the blades and maintain hygiene.
• Storage: Store the chopper in a dry place. For safety, always store the blade assembly inside the container with the lid securely fastened.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Smart Chopper, consider the following:

• Blades Not Rotating:
  • Ensure the lid is securely locked onto the container.
  • Check if the container is overfilled. Remove some ingredients if necessary.
  • Verify that the blade assembly is correctly seated on the central pin.
  • Ensure ingredients are cut into small enough pieces to allow blade movement.
• Food Not Chopping Evenly:
  • Ingredients may be too large or too few. Adjust quantity and size.
  • Pull the cord more consistently and for a longer duration to achieve finer results.
  • Shake the chopper gently between pulls to redistribute ingredients.
• Cord Getting Stuck:
  • Ensure the cord is pulled straight out and not at an angle.
