Congradulations! You now own the world’s finest apple and potato peeler, the Johnny Apple Peeler. It’s designed to save you time, effort, and money by performing several tasks at once. Before plunging right in and peeling a bushel of apples or a bag of potatoes, you will want to get acquainted with your peeler.
Mounting to a suitable surface Before using, the peeler needs to be properly secured to a suitable surface so it will stay firmly in place during use. Otherwise, the peeler will not work properly. Suction Base: The suction mount must be used with a smooth and non-porous surface.
Test alignment Test alignment by pressing down on the thumb lever. While holding the thumb lever down, move the driveshaft forward and backward. Watch the fork as it is passing through the center of the coring/slicing blade. Observe carefully to make sure the fork doesn’t touch the sides of the coring blade.
Adjust peeling arm The peeling arm has been factory adjusted to have approximately 1/4 inch clearance between the peeling blade and the widest part of the fork. To adjust the position of the peeling arm, either tighten or loosen the adjustable screw to achieve proper spacing. Turn the screw clockwise to adjust it away from the fork.
To peel, slice, and core To peel, turn the handle slowly clockwise to advance the apple into the blades. The peeling blade will automatically adjust to the contour of the apple as it advances forward. To remove the core, push down the thumb lever and pull back on the handle.
Cleaning and care • When cleaning the entire unit, hand washing is recommended. • After washing, dry all parts thoroughly by hand. Do not allow to air dry. • Peeling and coring/slicing blades can be washed in a dishwasher. • A drop of vegetable oil on the moving parts will insure smooth operation for next use.
