3. Setup

1. Secure the Unit: Place the peeler on a clean, smooth, non-porous countertop. Press down firmly on the unit and push the suction cup control handle (lever) downwards to activate the suction base, ensuring it is securely attached.
2. Inspect Blades: Ensure the paring knife and slicing knife are clean and properly positioned. The coring/slicing blade can be removed if only paring is desired (e.g., for potatoes).
3. Adjust Paring Knife: The paring knife can be adjusted to accommodate different fruit sizes and skin thicknesses. Rotate the peeling fixing screws to adjust the blade position. For thicker peels, adjust the blade to be further from the fruit. For thinner peels, move it closer.

4. Operating Instructions

This device can peel, slice, and core simultaneously, or perform peeling only. Ensure the unit is securely attached to a clean, smooth surface before operation.

4.1. Peeling, Slicing, and Coring Apples:

1. Prepare the Apple: Wash the apple thoroughly.
2. Fix the Apple: Center the apple onto the three-jaw holder's locking pin. Ensure it is firmly impaled.
3. Position the Blades: Move the paring knife and slicing knife assembly towards the apple until the paring knife just touches the skin.
4. Begin Operation: Turn the crank handle clockwise at a steady pace. The apple will rotate, and the paring knife will remove the skin while the slicing knife and coring rod process the fruit into a spiral slice.
5. Remove Processed Apple: Once the handle has completed a full rotation and the apple is processed, carefully slide the processed apple off the locking pin.

4.2. Peeling Potatoes (Paring Only):

1. Remove Slicing/Coring Blade: Locate the wing screw that secures the slicing knife assembly. Loosen the wing screw and carefully remove the slicing knife and coring rod.
2. Fix the Potato: Center the potato onto the three-jaw holder's locking pin.
3. Position the Paring Knife: Adjust the paring knife to the desired thickness for peeling.
4. Begin Operation: Turn the crank handle clockwise at a steady pace. The potato will rotate, and the paring knife will remove the skin.
5. Remove Peeled Potato: Once peeling is complete, carefully slide the peeled potato off the locking pin.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your tigwin Apple Peeler Slicer Corer.

• Cleaning: After each use, disassemble the removable parts (blades, locking pin assembly) and hand wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust. The main body can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
• Storage: Store the unit in a dry place. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing.
• Blade Care: The stainless steel blades are sharp. Handle with care. If blades become dull, replacement blades are available.

6. Troubleshooting

• Suction Base Not Holding: Ensure the countertop surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press down firmly on the unit while engaging the suction lever. Avoid porous or textured surfaces.
• Inconsistent Peeling/Slicing:
  • Apple Size/Firmness: The peeler works best with firm, medium-sized apples. Very small, soft, or bruised apples may not peel or slice consistently.
  • Blade Adjustment: Check if the paring knife is properly adjusted for the fruit's contour. Adjust the peeling fixing screws as needed.
  • Fruit Centering: Ensure the apple is securely and centrally impaled on the locking pin.
• Blades Not Cutting: Check for any debris obstructing the blades. If blades are dull, they may need replacement.
• Difficulty Turning Handle: Ensure no parts are obstructed. If the fruit is too large or hard, it may require more effort. Do not force the handle.
