SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Volts: 120 V.A.C. 
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: This Food Chopper has a polarized 
plug (one blade is wider than the other).  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this 
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one 
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the 
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not   
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not 
modify the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is provided to 
reduce the risk resulting from becoming 
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 
Food Chopper Safety
Electrical Requirements
Extension cords are available and may   
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used:
•  The marked electrical rating of the 
extension cord should be at least as great 
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
•  The cord should be arranged so it will   
not drape over the countertop or tabletop 
where it can be pulled on by children   
or tripped over unintentionally.
Troubleshooting
Keep a copy of the sales receipt showing the date of purchase. Proof of purchase will assure 
you of in-warranty service.
If your Food Chopper should malfunction or fail to operate, check the fo\
llowing:
•  Make sure that the bowl and lid are 
properly aligned and locked in place.
•  Press only one button at a time. The Food 
Chopper will not operate if both buttons 
are pressed at the same time.
•  Is the Food Chopper plugged in?
•  Is the fuse in the circuit to the Food 
Chopper in working order? If you have   
a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit 
is closed. • 
Unplug the Food Chopper, then plug it 
back into the outlet.
•  If the Food Chopper is not at room 
temperature, wait until unit reaches room 
temperature and retry.
If the problem is not due to one of the above 
items, see “Warranty.”
Do not return the Food Chopper to the 
retailer. Retailers do not provide service.
