Safety Precautions

• Blades are extremely sharp. Always use the provided finger guard when slicing, julienning, grating, or shredding.
• Keep hands and fingers away from the blades during operation and cleaning.
• Do not force food through the blades. If resistance is met, adjust the food item or cut it into smaller pieces.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Ensure all components are securely assembled before use.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Fullstar Mandoline Slicer and Vegetable Chopper.

• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong blade sharpness, hand wash all components immediately after use. Use warm soapy water and the provided cleaning brush to remove food residue from the blades. Rinse thoroughly.
• Dishwasher Safe: The main chopper unit, container, and blade inserts are top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended for the blades to maintain their sharpness over time.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent rust on stainless steel blades.
• Storage: Store all components together in a safe place, preferably in their original packaging or a designated drawer, to prevent loss and protect the blades.
