SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Food Chopper Safety

Electrical Requirements

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.

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 following:

• 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.
