Operating Instructions
The Zyliss Dial and Slice Cheese Slicer allows you to easily adjust slice thickness for various culinary needs.
- Adjusting Thickness: Locate the dial selector on the side of the slicer. Rotate the dial to select your desired slice thickness. The slicer offers a range of settings to accommodate different preferences, from thin shavings to thicker slices.
- Slicing Cheese: Place the block of cheese on a clean, stable cutting surface. Hold the cheese firmly with one hand. With the other hand, grip the slicer handle. Position the blade end of the slicer against the edge of the cheese block. Apply gentle, even pressure and pull the slicer across the cheese to create a uniform slice. Repeat as needed.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your cheese slicer, consider the following:
- Uneven Slices: Ensure the dial selector is set to your desired thickness and that you are applying consistent, even pressure across the cheese block.
- Cheese Sticking to Blade: Make sure the blade is clean and free of residue. Using cheese that is too soft or warm can also cause sticking; try chilling the cheese further.
- Difficulty Slicing: For very hard cheeses, ensure the blade is clean and sharp. While the slicer is designed for various cheeses, extremely hard or crumbly varieties may require more careful handling.
