•Suction feet will not stick on some surfaces such as wood, tile, and non-polished finishes.
•DO NOT attempt to use unit when the motor base is stuck to a surface that is not secure (cutting
board, platter, plate, etc.).

•Place your hands underneath both sides of the motor base and gently pull the unit up and toward you.
Food is not evenly chopped.
•For best results when chopping, cut pieces of ingredients in a uniform size and don’t overfill the vessel.
