Parts of Your Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus

As you unpack your new Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus, take a moment to identify each of the various parts as shown in these illustrations. BE SURE TO HANDLE THE BLADE CAREFULLY, AS IT IS VERY SHARP. By following the simple, step-by-step instructions in this booklet, you will learn how things go together and how wonderfully convenient your new Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus is to use.

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 on 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, and 3 to 4 times more to finely chop.

Adding liquid ingredients

Liquid ingredients may be added while the Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus operates 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.

Removing the Blade

When you have finished chopping, UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD FROM THE OUTLET. Remove the Cover. Remove the Chopping Blade with food clinging to it before removing any food from the Container. The blade is extremely sharp. Use caution when removing this blade. Clean the blade with a scraper over the bowl.

NOTE: ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER

Removing the Container

Place the Cover on the Container. Use the Cover to help remove the Container. Rotate the Cover clockwise 180 degrees until the two tabs on the cover meet the two Container tabs. Continue to turn the Cover, using firm pressure, with your thumb against the tabs until the Container is released. Empty the remaining food from the Container.

Cleaning, Storing, and Caring for Oskar® Jr. Chopper

When you have finished chopping, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and remove the Cover, Chopping Blade, and Container from the Motor Base. Wipe the base of your unit with a damp cloth, then polish it lightly with a dry one. NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN ANY LIQUID. DO NOT WASH ANY PARTS IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

Wash the Container and Cover it in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry immediately. Wash the Chopping Blade by hand. Avoid placing the Chopping Blade in soapy water where it can be lost from sight. REMEMBER TO USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE CHOPPING BLADE. IT IS VERY SHARP!

Cleaning the internal shaft of your Chopping Blade is most important. We suggest using a small percolator or baby bottle brush to remove any food particles, then wash and dry the shaft thoroughly. Sunbeam suggests that you store the Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus on a dry counter or tabletop in your kitchen, where it will always be ready for immediate use. Store the Chopping Blade in the clear Container (OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN). The Blade is EXTREMELY sharp! Use caution when handling the blade.

After washing and drying the Container, you may wish to apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and container. This lubrication allows the cover to move freely when in contact with the container.

A Few Things to Remember

1. Use the Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus only on a dry-level surface – never outdoors, on a damp surface, or on a table edge.
2. Never remove the cover until the Blade has come to a complete stop and the unit has been unplugged from an electrical outlet.
3. The motor in the Oskar® Jr. Chopper Plus has been permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no further attention. Other than recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. Return your unit to the nearest Sunbeam-authorized independent service center if servicing or repairs become necessary.
