Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Food: Wash and peel the food item if necessary. For best results, cut larger items to a size that fits comfortably within the food holder.
2. Adjust Thickness: Use the thickness adjustment knob (typically located on the side of the mandoline) to select your desired slice thickness. Refer to the markings for guidance.
3. Secure Food: Place the food item onto the prongs of the food holder/safety guard. Press down firmly to secure the food.
4. Slice: Hold the food holder firmly with one hand and the mandoline handle with the other. Glide the food holder with the food item down the mandoline blade in a smooth, even motion. Apply gentle, consistent pressure.
5. Collect Slices: Sliced food will fall into the collection container beneath the mandoline.
6. Repeat: Continue slicing until the food item is fully processed or until you reach the end of the food item, at which point the food holder will protect your fingers.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your mandoline slicer.

• Immediate Cleaning: Clean the mandoline immediately after each use to prevent food from drying onto the blades and surfaces.
• Dishwasher Safe: All components of the KitchenAid KG310ER Mandoline Slicer are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack for best results.
• Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush to clean the blades. Always brush away from the cutting edge. Use extreme caution when handling blades.
• Rinse and Dry: Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water and dry completely before storing.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surfaces.

Storage

Store your mandoline slicer and its components safely when not in use.

• Always remove the blade from the mandoline base before storing.
• Store unused blades in the provided clear plastic blade storage container. This protects the blades and prevents accidental cuts.
• Keep the mandoline and blades in a secure location, out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your mandoline slicer, consider the following common solutions:

• Difficulty Slicing: Ensure the blade is clean and free of food debris. Check that the food item is properly secured in the food holder and that the thickness setting is appropriate for the food.
• Uneven Slices: Verify that the blade is correctly inserted and locked into place. Apply even pressure when gliding the food holder over the blade.
• Food Sticking: Ensure the mandoline surface is clean. For starchy foods, a light spray of cooking oil may help, but always clean thoroughly afterward.
• Food Holder Not Gripping: Ensure the food item is cut to a manageable size and that the prongs of the food holder are fully engaged.
