Operating Instructions

The Orixforce Mini Food Chopper features simple one-touch operation.

1. Ensure the chopper is properly assembled with ingredients inside the bowl and the lid securely locked.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Press and hold the "On" button located on the top of the motor base to begin chopping. The blades will rotate.
4. Chop ingredients to your desired consistency. For coarse chopping, use short pulses. For finer chopping, hold the button down longer.
5. Release the "On" button to stop the chopping action.
6. Unplug the appliance from the outlet before disassembling or removing food.
7. Carefully remove the lid, then the blade assembly, and finally the chopped ingredients.

Tips for Best Results:

• Cut larger ingredients into 1-inch pieces before placing them in the chopper.
• Do not overload the bowl. Process in smaller batches if necessary.
• For best results with hard ingredients like nuts, use short pulses.
• Avoid processing very hard items like coffee beans or ice cubes, as this may damage the blades or motor.
