Setup and Assembly

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

To assemble the chopper:

1. Place the clear 1.2L capacity catch tray on a stable, flat surface.
2. Position the main chopper unit (with the hinged lid) securely on top of the catch tray. Ensure it clicks into place.
3. Select the desired blade insert. Gently align the blade with the opening in the main unit and press down until it is firmly seated.
4. For mandoline functions, ensure the mandoline base is correctly inserted into the main unit.

Operating Instructions

Chopping/Dicing

Select either the Medium Dicer or Fine Dicer blade. Insert it into the main unit.

Place the vegetable or fruit (e.g., onion, potato, bell pepper) onto the blade. Ensure the item is cut to a size that fits within the blade's grid.

Firmly and quickly press down on the hinged lid. The blades will cut the food, and the chopped pieces will fall into the catch tray below.

Slicing/Julienning/Grating

For slicing, julienning, or grating, remove any dicing blades. Insert the desired mandoline blade (Slicer, Julienne, Grater, or Coarse Shredder) into the designated slot on the main unit.

Always use the provided finger guard when operating the mandoline blades to protect your hands. Secure the food item onto the prongs of the finger guard.

Glide the food item, held by the finger guard, back and forth across the blade with even pressure. The sliced/grated food will collect in the tray.

Care and Maintenance

The Fullstar Vegetable Chopper and all its attachments are designed for easy cleaning and are dishwasher safe.

For manual cleaning:

1. Disassemble all parts.
2. Use the included cleaning brush and scraper to remove any food residue from the blades and unit. Be extremely careful when handling sharp blades.
3. Wash all components with warm, soapy water.
4. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

Troubleshooting

Food Not Chopping Evenly:

• Ensure the food item is cut to a size that fits the blade grid. Overfilling or using pieces too large can lead to uneven cuts.
• Apply firm and even pressure when pressing down the lid.

Difficulty Pressing Down Lid:

• Some harder vegetables (e.g., carrots, potatoes) may require more force. Ensure the vegetable is positioned correctly and consider pre-cutting into smaller, manageable pieces if necessary.
• Check that no food is jammed under the blade or in the hinges.

Blades Seem Dull:

• The 420 stainless steel blades are designed to retain sharpness. If performance degrades, ensure blades are clean and free of residue. Avoid cutting extremely hard items that are not suitable for the chopper.
