FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of food can I cut with my mandoline?
Most people use mandolines to precisely slice vegetables,
fruit and cheese, but they can be used to slice nearly any
other type of food.
How can I get consistent slicing results?
First, get comfortable grasping foods using the Flexible Food
Holder. A firm, controlled grip will give you best results.
Maintain consistent motion and pressure when slicing, and
keep food oriented parallel to the platform. If you're not
getting the results you want, try varying the pressure you
exert on the food while slicing.
Can I cut large or uneven foods?
For best results, try cutting large food items into smaller,
more manageable pieces that can be gripped using the
Flexible Food Holder. Food with an uneven edge can be
trimmed before slicing, which will result in finished slices of
uniform size.
What safety precautions should I use?
Mandoline blades are extremely sharp, and care should be
taken when handling them. Be sure to follow all directions
carefully when using the mandoline, and set the Safety
Dial to Position 2: Blade Guard On for the safest operating
environment.
Why won't the Safety dial turn?
The handle must be squeezed when turning the dial from
Position 2 to Position 3. This safety feature is designed to
prevent users from unknowingly disabling the Blade Guard.

Why can't I remove the Upper Platform for
cleaning?
Make sure the Thickness Dial is set to "Remove to clean"
before attempting to remove the Upper Platform.
Why won't the Blade Safety Guard stay lowered?
Remember to continuously squeeze the handle while slicing
in order to keep the Blade Safety Guard in its lowered
position.
