Operating the Maruchi Chopper

Remove all packaging materials, plastic bags, and labels. Please dispose of packaging thoughtfully and recycle where possible. Clean all componentry apart from the motor body in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Never submerge or wet the motor body or cord when cleaning.

When using your chopper, always follow these steps:

1. Always attach the anti-skid silicon ring to the bottom of the glass bowl.
2. Always use the chopper on a flat and even surface.
3. Always take care placing the sharp coaxial blade assembly into the bowl.
4. Always add food after placing the coaxial blades in place.

Maruchi Chopper Componentry

The Heroshi Maruchi Chopper consists of the following parts:

• Motor Body: The upper unit containing the motor, featuring a silver and black design with the "HEROSHI" logo. It includes two operating buttons: Button I and Button II.
• Mixing Bowl Cover: A transparent lid that fits onto the bowl.
• Coaxial Blades: A set of four sharp cutting blades, equipped with safety covers, designed for efficient chopping.
• Bowl: The main stainless steel container where food is processed.
• Non-slip Silicon Ring: A ring attached to the base of the bowl to ensure stability during operation.
• Storage Lid: An additional lid provided for storing processed food directly in the bowl. This lid fits both glass and stainless steel bowls.

Diagram Description: The diagram visually represents these components, showing how they assemble. The motor body sits atop the mixing bowl cover, which encloses the coaxial blades within the stainless steel bowl. The non-slip silicon ring is at the base of the bowl.

Handy Hints for Best Results

1. Cut food into a maximum of 1-2cm chunks.
2. Continual chopping of hard foodstuffs like coffee beans, large seeds, or ice may damage or dull the coaxial blades.
3. Always place the lid on the bowl prior to use.
4. Always ensure the motor body is secured in place.
5. When chopping, select from buttons I or II:
   • Use I for softer foods or where slower speed is required.
   • Use II where harder foods or faster chopping is required.
   • Use II when larger quantities of food are being processed.
6. For precise results, pulse your ingredients. To pulse, press I for 1-2 seconds, then release for 1 second. This allows you to monitor results and deliver the food consistency you desire.

Trouble Shooting During Use

1. If the chopper labors (i.e., is not operating at its usual speed), remove some of the food from the bowl and continue by way of batch processing.
2. If the motor overheats, it will turn off automatically. This built-in safety feature protects the motor from burn out. Always unplug the chopper and wait 10-15 minutes to allow the motor to cool down in this event.
3. If the chopper does not work, ensure it is correctly plugged in and the power is switched on.
4. If shaking occurs during use, ensure the bowl, lid, and motor body are properly aligned and locked in place.
5. Never hold down button I or II (pulsing action) for longer than 15 seconds.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Disconnect the power plug from the socket.
2. Clean the motor body with a slightly moist soft cloth.
3. Never submerge or wet the motor body or power cord.
4. Always dry the motor body after cleaning using a soft dry cloth.
5. Wash bowls in warm water and detergent.
6. When washing coaxial blades, take care when handling as they are sharp.
7. Thoroughly dry all parts before storage.
8. Store in a cool, dry place that is secure and away from easy access of children.
