USEFUL TIPS
- Holding the sides of the transparent guard will release the pins and allow food to be properly secured under the hand guard.
- Food should fit completely inside the pusher; you may need to cut ends. This will increase the stability of food.
- The first cut may be harder; starting with the shorter side of the vegetable may help.
- When grating, turn the thickness adjustment knob so that the platform is leveled with the grating blade.
- Raw sweet potatoes are tough and fibrous, we recommend caution. Cutting sweet potatoes requires much more strength.
- To turn the julienne adjustment knob you must push cubing locking slider to the right until you hear a click to release the julienne blades.
- You may cut in half longer foods such as carrots and cucumber, this will make self-feeding function easier.
- Make delicious homemade chips using the thinnest thickness options. Slice your potatoes, add a small amount of salt and oil, and put them in the microwave on top of a parchment paper. Cook at the highest temperature for 2–5 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown.
CLEANING
- Wash before first use.
- Pull out and turn the thickness adjustment knob to storing position (rear platform adjusted to the highest position).
