Operating Instructions
- Prepare Vegetable: Wash and peel the vegetable if necessary. Cut both ends flat. For longer vegetables like zucchini, cut them into manageable lengths (e.g., 4-6 inches).
- Position Vegetable: Place the prepared vegetable between the circular blade and the spiked food holder. Ensure the vegetable is centered and firmly impaled on the spikes.
- Begin Spiraling: While applying gentle pressure to the food holder with one hand, turn the crank handle clockwise with the other hand. The vegetable will be pushed through the blade, creating spirals or slices.
- Collect Output: The processed vegetable will fall into the collection tray beneath the blade.
- Continue until finished: Continue turning the handle until the vegetable is fully processed or only a small core remains.
