Troubleshooting
Cherry pit not removed completely
Ensure the cherry is centered in the cup and the plunger is pushed straight down. For smaller cherries, double-check that they are positioned correctly in the recessed area.
Pitter is difficult to operate
Make sure the pitter is clean and free of any debris. Check that the splatter shield is correctly attached. If issues persist, contact OXO customer support.
Excessive splashing
Ensure the removable splatter shield is properly attached and forms a seal around the base. Adjust your grip to hold the base firmly.
