Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe use of your Geedel Vegetable Cutter:

General Usage Steps:

1. Pre-cut Ingredients: For best results and to prevent damage, pre-cut larger vegetables or fruits into smaller, manageable pieces that fit within the blade area. For dicing, ensure pieces are flat on one side.
2. Choose Desired Blade: Select the appropriate blade for your task (small dicer, large dicer, coarse grater, or julienne blade).
3. Insert Blade: Carefully insert the chosen blade into the designated slot on the main chopper unit. Ensure it clicks securely into place. For dicing blades, ensure the safety lock is engaged.
4. Position Food: Place the ingredient onto the blade surface. For dicing, center the food over the grid. For grating/julienning, place the food on the grater surface.
5. Operate:
   • For Dicing: Firmly press down the lid/pusher with both hands until the food passes through the blades and into the container.
   • For Grating/Julienning: Use the safety hand guard to hold the food and slide it back and forth across the blade.
6. Collect: The processed food will collect in the transparent container below.
