Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Wash: Before first use, wash all parts (stainless steel bowl, inner basket, and lid) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The product is dishwasher compatible.
- Assemble: Place the inner basket inside the stainless steel bowl.
- Lid Placement: Position the lid securely on top of the bowl, ensuring it is properly aligned.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to effectively dry your salad greens:
- Prepare Salad: Wash your salad greens thoroughly under running water.
- Load Basket: Place the washed salad greens into the inner basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure there is enough space for the greens to move freely.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid onto the stainless steel bowl, ensuring it is firmly seated.
- Spin: Turn the crank handle on the lid clockwise. The inner basket will spin rapidly, using centrifugal force to remove excess water from the greens. Continue spinning until the desired dryness is achieved.
- Drain Water: The lid features an integrated pourer. You can drain the accumulated water from the bowl without removing the lid. Simply tilt the spinner over a sink and allow the water to flow out through the pourer.
- Remove Salad: Once spinning is complete, remove the lid and lift out the inner basket with the dried salad greens.

Troubleshooting

| Salad not drying effectively. | Basket is overfilled; insufficient spinning time; lid not properly secured. | Do not overfill the inner basket. Spin for a longer duration. Ensure the lid is firmly in place before spinning. |
| Crank mechanism feels stiff. | Food debris or residue in the mechanism; lack of lubrication (unlikely for new product). | Thoroughly clean the lid and crank mechanism. Ensure no food particles are obstructing movement. |
