Operating Instructions

1. Chopping and Dicing

1. Select Blade: Choose either the small (1/4 inch) or large (1/2 inch) dicer blade. Insert it securely into the main chopper unit.
2. Prepare Food: Cut vegetables or fruits into pieces that fit comfortably onto the blade grid. For best results, ensure pieces are not too large or irregularly shaped.
3. Position Food: Place the prepared food item onto the center of the blade grid.
4. Chop: Firmly and quickly press down the chopping lid. The food will be pushed through the blade and collected in the container below.
5. Repeat: Lift the lid, remove any remaining food from the grid with the cleaning fork, and repeat the process for additional items.

2. Slicing, Julienne, and Wavy Cuts

1. Attach Mandoline: Remove the chopping lid and insert the mandoline attachment. Select the desired blade (Slicer, Wavy Blade, or Julienne).
2. Use Food Holder: Always use the food holder/safety guard when slicing to protect your fingers from the sharp blades. Secure the food item onto the prongs of the food holder.
3. Slice: Glide the food holder with the attached food item smoothly and evenly across the blade. The sliced food will fall into the container.
4. Caution: Never attempt to slice without the food holder, especially as the food item becomes smaller.
