Operating Instructions

1. Chopping Vegetables (Using Chopper Lid)

1. Prepare Food: Cut vegetables into pieces that fit comfortably onto the chosen blade grid. For harder vegetables like carrots or potatoes, pre-cut into smaller, manageable sections.
2. Position Food: Place the vegetable piece onto the center of the blade grid.
3. Chop: Firmly and quickly press down on the Chopper Lid. The integrated pusher will force the food through the blades and into the catch tray below.
4. Repeat: Lift the lid, reposition the next piece of food, and repeat the chopping action.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Fullstar Pro Chopper, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Food not chopping cleanly:
  • Ensure the food piece is appropriately sized for the blade grid.
  • Apply firm and quick pressure when pressing down the lid.
  • For very hard vegetables, consider pre-boiling or cutting into smaller pieces.
• Blades appear dull:
  • The blades are made of high-quality stainless steel designed for durability. If performance degrades, ensure no food residue is obstructing the blades.
  • Contact customer support if you suspect a manufacturing defect.
• Food stuck in blades:
  • Use the provided cleaning brush and scraper to dislodge food particles. Never use your fingers directly on the blades.
