Assembling Your Oskar ® Jr. Chopper Plus
Before you begin, please BE SURE THAT THE ELECTRIC CORD
IS UNPLUGGED.
Set up the motor base facing you on a dry, level surface
with the tallest side of the motor housing to the rear.
NOTE: An “ON” and “OFF” switch is located on the
back of the motor base.
Place the clear Container over the drive shaft on the motor base
and rotate the Container until it drops down evenly on the base.
Now turn the Container counter-clockwise until it locks firmly
into position.
Place the Chopping Blade over the drive shaft, rotating it slightly
until it drops into place. THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP.
USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THIS BLADE.
To attach the cover, place the cover on the container so that
the large locking tab of the Cover is to the right-hand side near
the horizontal slot at the back of the motor base. When turned
counter-clockwise, the tab will engage the automatic switch
and the Oskar
® Jr. Chopper Plus will turn ON. By moving
the Cover in the opposite direction it will turn OFF.
Using Your Oskar ® Jr. Chopper Plus
Pulsing techniques:
The Oskar ® Jr. Chopper Plus processes food very quickly; in most
cases, in seconds! Therefore, foods can easily become over
processed if you don’t watch carefully. We suggest that when
using the unit, you chop foods no more than a few seconds at
a time. Turn the cover ON and OFF frequently until the desired
results are obtained. To use this “Pulsing Technique,” simply rotate
the cover so that the locking tab moves in and out of the automatic
switch slot. Pulsing ensures excellent results every time.
Placing food into the container:
For the best, most consistent results, you should try to chop pieces of food that are of
about equal size. When you cut, break or tear foods into uniform pieces before you begin
chopping, the finished results will be more uniform too. You will get faster, more
consistent results if you do not overload the Container. Chop foods in small amounts.
Chopping meats:
Pre-cut meats into pieces about 3/4 inch. Place the pieces
in the Container, replace the Cover and process them using
the pulse technique for 5 or 7 seconds. Never process more
than 1/2 cup of meat cubes at one time.
Chopping vegetables:
When processing vegetables such as onions,
green peppers, and celery, cut into 3/4-inch pieces.
Place 4 to 6 pieces into the container, turning the Oskar
® Jr.
Chopper Plus ON and OFF 1 to 2 times to coarsely chop,
3 to 4 times more to finely chop.
Adding liquid ingredients:
Liquid ingredients may be added while the Oskar ® Jr.
Chopper Plus is operating by pouring them through the
pouring hole in the cover.
Chopping:
Now you can mince garlic, chop parsley and chop herbs in
seconds. Simply drop halved garlic cloves or parsley sprigs
into the container and mince. Chopped foods that cling to
the container are easily swept out with a spatula.
