Safety Instructions

• Sharp Blades: The blades are extremely sharp. Handle with extreme care to prevent injury. Always use the hand guard when slicing or dicing.
• Keep Away from Children: Store the chopper and all its components out of reach of children.
• Stable Surface: Always operate the chopper on a stable, flat, and non-slip surface. The non-slip rubber bases are designed for this purpose.
• Proper Use: Do not force vegetables through the blades. If a vegetable is too large or hard, pre-cut it into smaller pieces.
• Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove food particles from the blades. Avoid direct contact with blades using bare hands.
• Damage: Do not use the chopper if any part is damaged. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
• Hand Wash Only: This product is designed for hand washing. Do not place in a dishwasher as high temperatures can damage plastic components.

Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
2. Wash Before First Use: Wash all components with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Dry completely before assembly.
3. Attach Non-slip Handle: Securely attach the non-slip handle to the transparent collection container.
4. Select Blade: Choose the desired blade (dicing, grating, or slicing) for your task.
5. Insert Blade: Carefully align the chosen blade with the slots on the main chopper unit and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely seated.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your PAWPRO Vegetable Chopper:

1. Prepare Vegetables/Fruits: Wash and peel your desired vegetables or fruits. For larger items, pre-cut them into pieces that fit comfortably onto the chosen blade grid.
2. Place Item on Blade: Carefully place the prepared vegetable or fruit onto the center of the selected blade.
3. Use Hand Guard (for Slicing/Grating): When using the slicer or grater blades, always use the provided hand guard to protect your fingers.
4. Press Down: Firmly and quickly press down the lid of the chopper. The blades will cut the food, and the chopped pieces will fall into the collection container below.
5. Repeat: Lift the lid and repeat the process for additional food items.
6. Egg White Separation: To separate egg whites, place the egg separator attachment over a bowl or the collection container. Crack an egg into the separator, and the yolk will remain while the white drains through.

Blade Specific Usage:

• Dicing Blades (Small/Large Cubes): Ideal for onions, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and other firm vegetables. Ensure vegetables are cut to fit the grid size.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your vegetable chopper.

1. Disassembly: After use, carefully disassemble the chopper by removing the main unit from the container and then detaching the blade.
2. Cleaning:
   • Rinse all components under running water immediately after use to prevent food from drying on surfaces.
   • Use warm soapy water and the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean all parts, especially the blades. The cleaning brush is essential for removing small food particles stuck in the blade grids.
   • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers as they can scratch the plastic or damage the blades.
   • Hand wash only. This product is not dishwasher safe.
3. Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before storing to prevent rust on metal blades and bacterial growth.
4. Storage: Store all blades and accessories safely within the collection container or in a designated storage area to prevent loss and protect the blades. Keep out of reach of children.
