Slicer Body: The main frame of the slicer, made of plastic, housing the V-blade.
V-Blade: A fixed, sharp V-shaped blade made of Japanese steel, designed for efficient slicing.
Thickness Adjustment Dial: Located on the side, this dial allows you to select from 5 different slicing thicknesses.

Food Holder/Pusher: A protective accessory with internal spikes to hold food securely and protect your hands during slicing.
Non-slip Silicone Feet: Located on the base for stability during use.

Setup

Before first use, wash all components with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Positioning: Place the slicer on a clean, dry, and stable surface. The non-slip silicone feet will help keep it steady.
Adjusting Thickness: Locate the thickness adjustment dial on the side of the slicer. Rotate the dial to select your desired slicing thickness. There are 5 different settings available. Ensure the blade is securely locked into the chosen position before slicing.
Prepare Food: Wash and peel (if necessary) the fruit or vegetable you intend to slice.
Attach Food Holder: For safe operation, always attach the food holder/pusher to the food item. Press the food item firmly onto the spikes inside the food holder.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe slicing:

Hold Securely: Hold the slicer firmly by the handle with one hand.
Position Food: With the food item secured in the food holder, place it on the top of the slicer's V-blade.
Slice: Apply gentle, even pressure and slide the food holder down the length of the slicer, across the V-blade. The V-blade design allows for smooth, consistent slices.
Repeat: Lift the food holder and repeat the slicing motion until the food item is fully sliced or too small to safely continue.
Safety Lock: When finished, always return the thickness adjustment dial to the "lock" position to cover the blade for safe storage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your GEFU Violi V-Slicer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Uneven slices	Inconsistent pressure or food not properly secured in pusher.	Ensure even pressure is applied during slicing. Firmly press the food onto the spikes of the food holder.
Difficulty slicing hard vegetables (e.g., potatoes, carrots)	Blade setting too thin or food item too large/hard.	Adjust to a thicker setting. For very hard vegetables, consider pre-cutting into smaller, manageable pieces. Ensure the blade is clean.
Food slipping from pusher	Food item too small or not properly impaled.	Ensure the food item is large enough to be securely held by the pusher's spikes. Apply firm pressure to impale the food.
