Operating Instructions
Washing Produce:
- Place your leafy greens, herbs, or other small produce into the inner colander basket.
- Rinse the produce thoroughly under running water while it is still in the basket. The basket can be used independently as a colander.

Spinning to Dry:
- After rinsing, place the inner basket with the wet produce back into the outer bowl.
- Secure the lid onto the bowl.
- Hold the outer bowl firmly with one hand and use the easy-turn knob on the lid to spin the inner basket. Spin for several seconds until excess water is removed.

Draining Excess Water:
- The lid features a built-in pour spout. After spinning, you can drain the collected water from the outer bowl without removing the lid.
- Simply tilt the spinner over a sink and allow the water to flow out through the spout.
