The set includes one 1/2'' cutting blade assembly and one matching push block. These components are engineered for durability and ease of cleaning.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to safely install the 1/2'' blade and push block into your compatible Anatole French Fry Cutter:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the new 1/2'' blade and push block from its packaging. Handle the blade with extreme caution as it is very sharp.
2. Ensure Safety: Before beginning, ensure your Anatole French Fry Cutter is clean and unplugged (if applicable) or otherwise disengaged from any power source. Place it on a stable, flat surface.
3. Remove Existing Components (if applicable): If replacing an old blade or changing sizes, refer to your main Anatole French Fry Cutter manual for instructions on safely removing the currently installed blade and push block. Always use protective gloves when handling blades.
4. Install Blade: Position the new 1/2'' blade assembly into the designated slot on the cutter. Ensure it sits flush and securely. There should be no gaps or wobbling.
5. Install Push Block: Align the 1/2'' push block with the blade assembly. The grid pattern on the push block should correspond precisely with the blade grid. Insert the push block into its housing, ensuring it moves smoothly and without obstruction.
6. Verify Installation: Gently operate the cutter's handle or mechanism to ensure the blade and push block engage correctly and move freely. Do not force any components.

If you encounter any difficulty during installation, refer to your main French Fry Cutter manual or contact customer support.

Operating Instructions

Once the 1/2'' blade and push block are correctly installed in your Anatole French Fry Cutter, you can proceed with cutting. Always follow the operating instructions provided with your main Anatole French Fry Cutter unit.

• Prepare Ingredients: Wash and peel potatoes or other vegetables as desired. Cut larger items to a size that fits comfortably within the blade and push block area.
• Position Ingredient: Place the prepared potato or vegetable firmly against the blade grid.
• Engage Cutter: Using the cutter's handle or lever, push the ingredient through the blade with a firm, steady motion. Avoid jerky movements.
• Collect Cut Items: Ensure a container is placed beneath the cutter to collect the cut fries or vegetable sticks.
• Safety First: Always keep hands and fingers away from the blade area during operation. Never attempt to push ingredients through the blade directly with your hands.
