FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS - Part 1
FEATURES & FUNCTIONS - Part 2

Curly Q Spiralizer Base: The Curly Q Spiralizer Base houses the spiralizer motor and holds the EasyGrip Work Bowl, Wide Mouth Auto Feeder and Food Pusher. When inserted, it also holds a Q Cut Cone for fast operation.
The Curly Q Spiralizer Base also houses the One-Touch Button for easy Off /On operation.
EasyGrip Work Bowl: With a clever built-in hand hold, the 4-cup plastic Work Bowl collects a generous amount of spiralized foods. Toss the Work Bowl in the dishwasher for easy clean-up when done.
Wide Mouth Auto Feeder: The Auto Feeder easily turns and locks into place over the Q Cut Cone for complete safety and control. The clear plastic allows you to observe the action as the Curly Q Spiralizer works for you.
Food Pusher: The Food Pusher assists the food in moving down and into the Q Cut Cone for optimal operation. Note the custom Plastic X Blade on the bottom of the Food Pusher, which is used to secure and center foods as they move toward the blades in the Q Cut Cone.
Q Cut Cones: Your unique Curly Q Spiralizer comes with three Q Cut Cones. Three sizes – Noodles, Thick Noodles and Ribbons – give you perfect control over the size of spirals you create. These Cutting Blades are manufactured for precision cutting. Use extreme caution when handling them.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Using a soft, damp cloth, clean the Curly Q Spiralizer Base, EasyGrip Work Bowl, Wide-Mouth Auto Feeder and Food Pusher. Do not immerse the Base, cord or plug in water. Dry thoroughly.
Holding each Q Cut Cone by the upper lip, rinse each in clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Use EXTREME CAUTION when touching the blade and the Cone.
Place the Curly Q Spiralizer Base on a flat counter surface.
Insert the empty EasyGrip Work Bowl into the Curly Q Spiralizer Base.

ASSEMBLY

With the power unplugged, select the Q Cut Cone of your choice. Lift the Cone by holding the upper lip of the Cone.
Insert the Cone, small cone end first, into the top of the Base. (fig 1) When installed, the Cone will be level with the housing. (fig 2)
Ensure that the gears of the Cone are aligned and engaged with the drive gear of the Curly Q Spiralizer Base. (fig 3)
Place the Wide-Mouth Auto Feeder on top of the Curly Q Spiralizer Base and Q Cut Cone. Rotate slightly until it engages with the grooves in the upper lip of the Base. Turn clockwise until it locks into place. (fig 4, 5 and 6)
Select a vegetable, such as a carrot, and peel. Cut or trim the vegetable to create a straight edge on the top and bottom of the vegetable. Cut squarely across the small root end. Note the X Blade on the bottom of the Food Pusher. (fig 7)
Place the Food Pusher upright on a clean surface and press one end of the vegetable down firmly and evenly into the X Blade end of the Food Pusher (fig 8). When done, you will have connected the Food Pusher squarely onto the end of the vegetable. (fig 9)
Place the Food Pusher and the vegetable together into the Auto Feeder (fig 10). Make sure the Food Pusher and food are securely in the Q Cut Cone BEFORE turning the Control ON. When ready, turn the Control On and hold the Food Pusher as the vegetable moves down the Feeder and spirals fall into the Work Bowl. When done, turn the Control OFF.

STEP BY STEP SPIRALIZING

Congratulations on your purchase of this fun and innovative Curly Q Spiralizer. Before you begin to create spirals, check out the following hints and tips to get the best spirals ever!

Please note your Curly Q Spiralizer is a NOT food processor even though it has a variety of blade choices. Foods should be left whole, or cut only to fit the top of the Cone. Chopped foods or food cut in chunks will not spiralize.

Ensure the Base Off/On Control is turned OFF, then plug the Base into the outlet.
Select vegetables or fruit to be spiralized.
Food should be left whole when spiralizing. Do not cut into chunks and do not chop foods. The Curly Q Spiralizer is unique and does not operate like a food processor, therefore it is important that food moves through the Q Cut Cone as a single large piece.
Trim ends or sides thinly as needed to ensure that the food fits into the top of the Q Cut Cone.
Food must fit into the top of the Q Cut Cone in order to move down through the Cutting Blade.
The Plastic X Blade on the end of the Food Pusher is important for operating the Curly Q Spiralizer. Secure your food onto the X Blade of the Food Pusher correctly, following the directions in the "Assembly" section carefully.
Note: Always secure the food to the Food Pusher and align the food in the Q Cut Cone BEFORE turning the Control ON. If the Curly Q Spiralizer is turned OFF while using, repeat the process of securing the food to the Food Pusher and placing it in the Q Cut Cone before again turning the Control ON.
When done, turn the Off/On Button to OFF. Remove the plug from the outlet and remove the Work Bowl. Empty the bowl and enjoy!
Using one finger, press UP underneath the Cone until the Cone is free of the Base. Do not press up on the blade, as it is extremely sharp.
Remove the Cone and set aside for cleaning.

FOOD PREP HINTS & TIPS

Firm vegetables and fruit should be used in the Curly Q Spiralizer for best results.
When looking for ideas, consider any of these:
Zucchini squash – peeled or unpeeled, whole
Summer squash – peeled
Jicama – peeled, cut to fit
Cucumbers – peeled or unpeeled, whole
Sweet potatoes – trimmed to fit, peeled
Pumpkin – peeled, trimmed to fit
Beets – peeled, trimmed to fit, whole
Turnips – peeled, trimmed to fit, whole
Onions – peeled, trimmed to fit, whole
Broccoli – stems only, whole
Celery root – peeled, trimmed to fit
Apples – peeled, whole
Pears (firm only) – peeled or unpeeled, whole

Foods such as beets or other highly-colored foods may stain other foods as they combine in salads or stir fries; to minimize staining, spiralize these foods separately or after all others.
Broccoli crowns are the favorites of most diners, but the crowns will not spiralize. The stems, however, are perfect for the Curly Q Spiralizer. Cut off any protruding parts and secure the end of the stem with the Plastic X Blade, as directed in 'Assembly' section. Make Noodles or Thick Noodles for an immediate nutritional boost to any salad or side dish.
To prepare foods for spiralizing, wash, peel and dry them thoroughly. Ensure that the food you've selected will fit in the upper part of the Q Cut Cone. If not, make a thin slice on one side of the vegetable or piece of fruit until the food fits.
