Your VillaWare Food Strainer can be used to process foods such as tomatoes, apples,
apricots, avocados, carrots, cherries, cooked dried beans, cranberries, peaches and
potatoes. With additional attachments, that can be purchased separately in the back
of this book, many other foods can also be processed.
Before using the strainer for the first time, become familiar with the various parts of
the unit by using the diagram to the right. Your strainer will come partly assembled.
Disassemble completely and wash all parts in hot soapy water before use. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
To remove the assembled screen unit from the strainer body (#14), loosen the set
screw (#6) by turning counterclockwise until it stops. Then twist the screen (#7) in
the direction of the OFF arrow imprinted on the top of the screen rim. Remove the
gasket (#5) from inside the screen. Finally, inside the cylindrical opening on the
strainer body where the screen attaches is the drive shaft (#13); to remove, simply
grasp it and pull.
Note: When storing between uses, lubricate the clear rubber seal ring (#9) on the
drive shaft (#13) with a few drops of vegetable oil. This will prevent the seal ring
from getting dry and brittle.

1.
Clamp food strainer body (#14) to a tabletop or countertop. Select a table or
counter with a durable top and a minimum 1 1/2 inch overhang. Turn lever
and clamp screw (#17) to secure, but do not over tighten.
2.
With strainer body clamped to your work surface, stand behind strainer
during assembly. Insert drive shaft (#13) into white plastic hole on inside of
cylindrical opening, near top of strainer body. When inserted, the end of the
drive shaft with the hole in it should be facing out the back of the food
strainer body. This is where the handle will attach. Be sure the metal lock
washer (#10) is on the drive shaft.
3.
Slide metal spring (#11) onto drive shaft.
4.
Insert metal end of red spiral (#12) onto end of drive shaft, rotating spiral
until metal hole in spiral just slips over drive shaft.
5.
Place white rubber gasket (#5) inside rim of screen. (The gasket must be
used in order for screen to attach properly to strainer body.) Slide screen over
spiral, rotating screen until middle arrow on screen rim is lined up with
triangle imprint on body. Firmly pull screen toward body, then turn in the ON
direction (clockwise) until screen locks. Tighten set screw (#6) to secure screen.
6.
Attach narrow end of clear waste funnel (#8) to small end of screen, making
sure it snaps into place on funnel to secure.
7.
Hold rounded end of plastic squirt guard (#3) with your right hand so that
the longer side is on the bottom. Slip squirt guard around screen until inside
edge of squirt guard snaps onto strainer body just beyond rim of screen.
Rotate angle of squirt guard until small notch locks together with small
metal bump on strainer body.
