Operating Instructions

2. Secure Food with Safety Holder: Place your fruit or vegetable onto the pins of the safety food holder. This ensures a firm grip and keeps your fingers away from the sharp blade.
3. Begin Slicing: With the food secured in the holder, gently slide the food item down the mandoline's surface, applying even pressure. The blade will cut the food to your selected thickness. Continue until the entire item is sliced.
4. Collect Sliced Food: Place a bowl or plate beneath the mandoline to catch the sliced food.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Oneida Mandoline Slicing Set.

• Dishwasher Safe: The entire mandoline slicing set is top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the blade's sharpness, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended. Use a brush to clean the blades carefully.
• Drying: Thoroughly dry all components before storing to prevent rust on the stainless steel blade.
• Storage: Fold the legs inward for compact storage. Store the mandoline and food holder in a safe place, away from children, to prevent accidental cuts.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your mandoline slicer, please review the following common concerns:

• Uneven Slices: Ensure the food item is firmly secured in the safety holder and that even pressure is applied during slicing. Verify the blade setting is correctly locked.
• Difficulty Slicing: Check if the blade is clean and free of debris. For very hard vegetables, ensure the blade setting is appropriate.
• Mandoline Instability: Confirm that the legs are fully unfolded and locked into position on a flat, stable surface.
