• Main Body: The base unit that holds the vegetable and the cutting blade.
• Pusher Handle: The lever used to push the vegetable through the blade. Features an extended non-slip grip.
• 7mm Blade: For thinner chips.
• 9mm Blade: For thicker chips.

Setup and Blade Installation

1. Choose Blade: Select either the 7mm or 9mm stainless steel cutting blade based on your desired chip thickness.
2. Install Blade: Carefully slide the chosen blade into the designated slot on the main body of the chipper until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated and stable.
3. Position Chipper: Place the chipper on a clean, dry, and stable countertop. The non-slip rubber feet will help secure it during use.

Operating Instructions

The Zyliss Chipper is designed for efficient cutting of potatoes, carrots, courgettes, and similar vegetables.

1. Prepare Vegetable: Wash and peel your chosen vegetable (e.g., potato). For best results and to reduce effort, ensure the vegetable is not excessively large. If a potato is too long, cut it in half. If it is too wide, trim the sides to fit within the chipper's opening.
2. Place Vegetable: Position the vegetable firmly against the installed blade, ensuring it is centered and aligned for a straight cut.

3. Engage Pusher: Bring the pusher handle down over the vegetable.
4. Apply Pressure: With one hand holding the chipper body for stability, use the other hand to firmly and steadily push the handle downwards. The vegetable will be forced through the blade, creating uniform chips.

Care and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and care will extend the life of your Zyliss Chipper.

• Dishwasher Safe: The Zyliss Potato and Vegetable Chipper is dishwasher safe. Place all components on the top rack for cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, disassemble the chipper by removing the blade. Wash all parts with warm, soapy water. Use a brush to carefully clean around the blades. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent water spots or corrosion, especially on the stainless steel blades.
• Storage: The chipper can be stored on its end to save space. Store blades safely when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Pushing Vegetable Through:
  • Ensure the vegetable is not too large for the cutting area. Trim larger vegetables to fit.
  • Make sure the vegetable is aligned straight with the blade. An awkward angle can increase resistance.
  • Do not attempt to chip excessively hard or frozen vegetables.
  • Apply firm, steady pressure rather than sudden force.
• Chips are Uneven:
  • Ensure the vegetable is placed squarely against the blade before pushing.
  • Verify the blade is fully seated and secure in its slot.
• Blades Seem Dull:
  • Over time, blades may show signs of wear. While Zyliss blades are durable, consistent use on very hard vegetables can affect sharpness.
  • Ensure blades are clean and free of debris, which can impede cutting performance.
