3. Operating Instructions

The VEGGURU Mandoline Slicer offers various cutting options with adjustable thickness and blade types.

Adjusting Cut Type and Thickness:

• Locate the adjustment dial and levers on the side of the main unit.
• Rotate the dial to select your desired slice thickness (e.g., 0-4mm for thin, 4-8mm for thick).
• Use the levers to engage the julienne or dicing blades as needed. Refer to the markings on the unit for specific settings.

Slicing Procedure:

1. Prepare your vegetable or fruit by washing it. For larger items, you may need to cut them to fit the large food chute (e.g., 3.54 inches wide, 6.30 inches deep).
2. Place the food item into the food chute.
3. Hold the top handle firmly. With your other hand, press down on the spring-loaded handle to push the food through the blades. The spring handle ensures consistent pressure and safe operation.
4. Continue pressing and releasing the handle until the food is fully sliced or diced into the collection container below.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VEGGURU Mandoline Slicer, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Food not slicing evenly: Ensure the food is properly centered in the chute and the food holder is applying even pressure. Check that the desired thickness setting is correctly engaged.
• Difficulty pushing food: Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris. Avoid slicing overly hard or frozen items. The spring handle should provide sufficient force; if not, check for obstructions.
• Unit unstable during use: Verify that the tripod legs are fully extended and locked. Ensure the suction cups are clean and firmly pressed onto a smooth, dry countertop.
