WARNING!
1. KEEP FINGERS CLEAR of the
Blade at all times. NEVER push the
product with your hands in line of the
Blade when slicing. ALWAYS use
the Food Pusher.
2. NEVER use fingers to scrape
food away from the Blade. SEVERE
INJURY MAY RESULT.
3. NEVER LEAVE THE MANDOLINE
SLICER UNATTENDED. Close
supervision is necessary when used
near children. The Mandoline Slicer is
NOT to be used by children.
4. CHECK FOR DAMAGED
PARTS. Before using the Slicer,
check that all parts are operating

To adjust thickness, loosen the Depth Adjustment Plate Thumb Screws on both
sides of the Slicer Body and slide the Depth Adjustment Plate to the desired slicing
thickness, then secure into place by tightening the Depth Adjustment Plate Thumb
Screws.
7. Maintain constant pressure on the Food Pusher so that the Spikes
continue to hold the vegetable/fruit.
TYPES OF SLICES
Julienne Blades
The three Julienne Blades that come with
the Vegetable Slicer have the following
thicknesses – 3/16”, 5/16”, and 7/16”. The more
teeth on the Blade, the THINNER the sticks of
vegetable/fruit will be. The less teeth on the
Blade, the THICKER the sticks of vegetable/
fruit will be .
Only use the
Julienne Blades with the Straight
Edge Slicing Blade. Do not use them with the
Waffle Blade.
• Cut the vegetables/fruit in
sections corresponding to the desired
length of the julienne strips (approximately 3”-6” (7.6 - 15.2 cm) long).
• Place the vegetable/fruit lengthwise onto the Food Pusher Spikes.
Smooth Blade
This is the Vegetable Slicer’s main Blade and features a straight edge for
basic slicing.
The straight edge of the
Smooth Blade is ideal for slicing a variety of foods from
carrots and cabbage to lemons and potatoes.
• For straight cuts, place the vegetable/fruit either endwise or
lengthwise onto the Food Pusher Spikes.
Waffle Blade
The Waffle Blade creates crinkle and waffle cuts, and is easy to use with any
fruit/vegetable. A crinkle cut requires only one pass over the Blade.
Waffle Cuts: For a waffle cut, the key is to adjust the height of the Depth
Adjustment Plate so that the slices are only slightly thicker than the serrated
edge of the Blade.
• Once you adjust the thickness of the Depth Adjustment Plate, place
the food onto the Food Pusher Spikes and make a pass over the
Blade.
• Next, rotate the vegetable/fruit 90 o and make a second pass
over the Blade to complete the cut. This rotation will create an
opposing crinkle cut on each side of the vegetable/fruit.
