OPERATION

Since the push block and blade block assemblies for different sized cuts are interchangeable, you may
have more than one set available for use. Before chopping, please ensure that the push block is the
correct one to use for the desired cut size. Gently lower the push block onto the blade block assembly
to ensure that the push block rests on the bumpers. If it does not, adjustments need to be made prior to
beginning the chopping procedure.

1. Place the chopper on a rm work surface or countertop.

2. Prepare the produce to be chopped (core, cut, slice, or wedge
according to your requirements).

Tip: Place the cut surface against the blades.

Tip: Onions and tomatoes dice best if cut from top to bottom.

3. Lift the handle and place the produce on the blades.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHOP PRODUCE
LARGER THAN THE OPENING IN THE BLADE HOLDER.

4. Ensure that all hands and ngers are not in the cutting area. With a
strong, quick thrust, bring the push block down to force the produce
through the blades. Lift and repeat as needed.

5. Clean the machine after chopping is completed in accordance with
the cleaning instructions.
