Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut larger food items into smaller, uniform pieces (approximately 1-2 cm) to ensure even chopping. Do not overfill the 350ml bowl.
2. Load Ingredients: Place the prepared ingredients into the chopping bowl.
3. Secure Lid: Ensure the lid is properly placed and locked onto the bowl. The safety lock prevents operation if the lid is not secure.
